Charming bungalow on the river

Hugging the riverbank, this Californian bungalow is an effortlessly liveable indoor-outdoor family haven in walking distance of the CBD. Transformed by stylish yet empathetic improvements, the immaculate residence reveals spacious light-filled interiors flowing onto a glass balustrade deck that provides ring-side seating to river and city views. Twinkling lights on the water create enchantment of an evening while during the day there is usually activity on the water to enjoy. This home gives itself over to entertaining and relaxation. The ground floor opens to a bespoke kitchen that any aspiring chef would be proud to claim, a dining area and lounge, all of which interact with the riverside setting. Parents are treated to a master suite full of awesomeness. Completing the downstairs layout is a family/guest bathroom, a laundry and a hair salon that lends itself to office use. Upstairs features three large double bedrooms with picturesque outlooks. The home has two showers and two baths, including a modern free-standing tub in the stylish modern ensuite and a built-in bath in the third bathroom upstairs. Fine character details enhance the beautifully renovated high-stud interiors. The upgrade is on the verge of completion. Expert craftsmanship and unparalleled quality are evident throughout. Lustrous native timbers, chandeliers, leadlight features and ornate plaster ceilings are exceeded only by the panoramic river views. Smeg is the favoured appliance brand in the kitchen, which boasts a 900mm gas hob. The primary source of heating is a woodburner on heat transfer. Ample storage won't leave you wanting for space. The property is gated, has good parking, and a single garage plus workshop. The trim-kept section is a picture all on its own, with velvety lawns, manicured hedges, lush plantings and sunny alfresco nooks. Enviably situated in a boutique area of Hamilton East, the property is strolling distance to city life, Claudelands Arena, parks and river trails. In zone for Hamilton Boys' and Girls' High schools.
