It makes good sense to set up your family home on this established genuine lifestyle block within easy reach of the city and suburbs. You'll be well placed being zoned for Berkley Normal Middle School and Hillcrest High, close to university, urban services and local industries, allowing this property to combine the convenience of a short commute with rural living. Newstead Model Country School is walking distance via the scenic Dairy Flats/school gully route. \n\nThe one hectare block provides enough land to be comfortable self-sufficient and sustainable. A large vegetable garden, plus a good variety of fruit trees including peach, orange, cherry, plum and hazelnut will provide fresh seasonal produce and for eggs the owners also keep hens. Kids have a huge play area at their disposal and can make the most of the great outdoors. The large, fully fenced paddock has been used for stock grazing and also includes a storage barn.\n\nThe two-storey family residence nestles in attractive grounds with mature gardens creating a lovely place to come home to. Most rooms overlook the landscaped setting and by way of accommodation there are four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a roomy, well equipped kitchen, and living zones upstairs and down. The dining area flows out to a sunny, entertainment patio for an easy alfresco lifestyle. The master suite upstairs is huge affair enhanced by panoramic views, rich timber accents, ensuite and a large walk-in wardrobe. Warmth is ensured, with the flue from the downstairs wood burner heating the room. \n\nThe configuration of the upstairs floor space presents versatile options to families. The layout currently includes a second living area, a library/study, and two bedrooms. A fourth bedroom is located downstairs. The warm timber interior and sarked ceilings provide a rustic ambience. The wood-fire has been recently installed. An air conditioning unit in the dining area allows you to heat or cool the home efficiently, depending on the season. \n\nThere are so many lifestyle properties to choose from but I'd challenge you to find another with so much charm, so well established for sustainable living, zoned for Hamilton's best schools and at such a reasonable price. The owner now has to commute to Auckland for work and would like this to be sold so your immediate viewing is highly recommended. \n
