49 Hemans Street, Cambridge, Waipa

Double delight

This property offers a superb solution for generations of the same family to live together yet still enjoy their independence. Set on a sprawling 2473sqm (more or less) site in a quiet and peaceful Leamington cul-de-sac, the versatile property is also suited to home and income, investors and developers. It started life in the 1970s as one home but a garage conversion in the 1990s saw it expand into two dwellings. The solid brick main home is a quality build with high-stud ceilings throughout, offering ceiling and underfloor heating. A curved driveway sweeps right past the front door where a portico entrance offers a sheltered welcome and makes parking and unloading shopping a breeze. A spacious front lounge with a discreet bar is ready to greet guests. The office or fifth bedroom is also near the entrance. The big family-sized kitchen gazing over the street has copious bench and storage space. A tiled floor extends from kitchen to dining area with a small sun seat. The second living room overlooks the back garden and pool, making it easy to keep an eye on children. Ample storage, a spacious tiled laundry, and powder room enhance functionality. Bathrooms are modern and freshly renovated and the master bedroom boasts an ensuite and his and hers double wardrobes. The newly carpeted, two-bedroom self-contained unit, with internal access, is perfect for extended family, guests, income, or office suite. It contains an open-plan kitchen/dining area, semi-separate lounge, spacious bathroom, separate toilet, small laundry, woodburner, and heat pump. Deck and pool, carved into neatly landscaped grounds, beckon for outdoor relaxation. An orchard provides good harvests and the backyard backs onto a reserve full of bird life. The bush backdrop creates a lush natural aesthetic and provides good privacy. Zoning is for Cambridge and Leamington primary schools and Cambridge High. Shops and township are close, and potential exists for subdivision.
