77 and 77A Naylor Street, Hamilton East, Hamilton

Double whammy on popular Naylor

Character and contemporary flair meet smart investment buying on one of Hamilton East's top streets. This potential-packed property offers both a delightful three-bedroom character home with the added bonus of an immaculate modern two-bedroom townhouse on a 670sqm (more or less) plus section. Those looking to accommodate extended family or add a superb investment to their portfolio will love the options this dual home package provides.

The front house's classic heritage features have been carefully maintained; inside polished native timber floors and nicely proportioned rooms give the home a warm, classic charm, while tasteful updates such as the modern kitchen and bathroom have brought the property into the 21st century. The home has been well cared for and is in very tidy condition; with the current owners adding good insulation, plus there's a wood-burning fire in the family room and a heat pump, to help regulate the temperature throughout the year. The private and fenced front lawn is a great spot to relax while you watch the kids or pets play and offers plenty of scope for further development with hedging and gardens.

The rear townhouse is a light and airy retreat with its own private courtyard and outdoor entertaining area. Offering two bedrooms and a spacious open-plan kitchen and living zone on the ground floor, there's also the added bonus of a loft-style second lounge with adjoining office or flexible room space. With many houses in neighbouring streets being 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.

The current owners have enjoyed superb rental returns on this property; 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.
