19 Hillcrest Road, Hillcrest, Hamilton

Character cutie

Character charm and convenience meet on one of Hillcrest's top streets. This three-bedroom classic set on a neatly manicured 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 just move in and enjoy will love the options this "neat as a pin" house and section provide. The classic features of its bungalow heritage have been carefully maintained and improved upon; inside polished native timber floors, moulded ceiling and window details and nicely proportioned rooms give the home a warm, old-world charm, while tasteful updates such as the renovated bathrooms and modern kitchen have brought the property into the 21st century. This home has been well loved and is in immaculate condition; with the fastidious current owners adding good insulation, new roof, double glazing and a heat pump, to make it warm and welcoming throughout the year. The private rear outdoor entertaining and lawn is a great spot to relax and host family and friends during the warmer months while you watch the kids or pets play and offers plenty of scope for further development. With single garage, great outdoor storage options and masses of off-street parking, this could be further developed should you desire. While this would make the ideal family home right now, investors will love the simplicity of adding this cutie to their portfolio as it's a mere five-minute walk to the University of Waikato. With many properties in neighbouring streets being tightly held and seldom coming to the market, the Hillcrest area is renowned for its quality homes and gardens; and has become a highly popular address. Its close proximity to the city, arterial routes, parks and the University of Waikato plus being in-zone for top quality schools such as Hillcrest High School all equate to a prime offering for those with their finger on the property pulse.
