13 Myrtle Street, Hamilton East, Hamilton

Character charm on city fringe

Character and convenience meet on one of Hamilton East's top streets. This five-bedroom classic set on a sunny 634sqm (more or less) section will charm you from the moment you arrive. With a stylish personality more commonly seen in Ponsonby than in Hamilton; those looking to move up the property ladder or an opportunity to access a super central location will love the options this house and section provide. The classic features of its villa heritage have been lovingly maintained; inside native timber doors and details, high ceilings and nicely proportioned rooms give the home a warm, old-world charm, while tasteful updates such as the renovated bathrooms and kitchen have brought the property into the 21st century. The home has been well cared for and is in beautiful condition; with the current owners adding an HRV system, plus there's a wood-burning fire in the lounge and two heat pumps, to help regulate the temperature throughout the year. The spacious and private rear lawn and expansive deck is a great spot to relax and host family and friends during the summer while you watch the kids or pets play and offers plenty of scope for further development with two sheds and ample garden beds.
Location here is gold as it's a short stroll over the bridge to the CBD plus you have the stunning Waikato River with its recreational trails and parks right on your doorstep. Take your morning coffee at the Farmers Market or lunch at the popular Kirk Cafe; this is inner city living at its best. With many houses in neighbouring streets similarly renovated into substantial family homes, the Hamilton East area is renowned for its pleasing sense of character and history, and has become a highly popular address. It's close proximity to the city, arterial routes, parks and the University of Waikato plus being in-zone for top quality schools such as Hamilton Boys High School all equate to a prime offering for those with their finger on the property pulse.
