132 Lake Cres, Hamilton Lake, Hamilton

Tranquil lake hide-away near city and hospital

This spacious and secluded 330sqm home enjoys a privileged vantage point, overlooking Lake Rotoroa. It is ideally located only 1km from Waikato Hospital, 3kms from the city centre, on a main bus route and in zone for both Hamilton Boys' and Hamilton Girls' high schools.\nSet on 1128sqm of land (more or less), the home was built in the 1950s and emanates the quality and charm of a bygone era. It enjoys considerable privacy, shielded from the road and lakefront boardwalk by mature gardens.\nThis is a home designed with family in mind with beautiful flow between the shared spaces and options to open the space up further for entertaining.\nThere are four bedrooms which all spill out onto either the back gardens or rear deck via French doors. Two large living areas upstairs attract sun at both ends of the day, while the downstairs level comprises a large games room, an office and a bathroom as well as a sun-lit fourth bedroom. This would make an ideal space for teenagers or house guests.\nBack up on the main level, the kitchen provides ample storage and prep space to keep culinary enthusiasts content. An adjacent dining room wins the prize for the 'feel good' room of the house, sun-filled and boasting lake and lush garden views. Nearby, doors open to a large deck offering a fabulous space for alfresco soirees.\nThe master bedroom also commands restful views and features an ensuite and walk-in robe.\nOne of the true highlights of this home is in the quality of its craftsmanship, evident in the wood panelling and built-in cabinetry. A loft is also a nice surprise, providing ample additional storage.\nLargely original, there is an option of modernising further, but the bones are there, and what beautiful bones they are, kept comfortable year-round with the aid of a central gas heating/cooling system. There is also Ultrafast Fibre connected with extensive internal cabling, for WIFI coverage.\nCall Rachelle today about 132 Lake Crescent to arrange a viewing.\n
