9 Braithwaite Avenue, Chartwell, Hamilton

The grass is greener on Braithwaite

Tucked away at the very end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this beautifully restored 1920s bungalow is more than just a home, it's a step back into the kind of neighbourhood we all remember. The sort where kids play in the street until the sun sets, laughter echoes from backyard trampolines, and neighbours know each other by name. Friendly waves, shared tools, impromptu barbecues - it's all here, wrapped in the kind of community spirit that feels almost forgotten elsewhere.
Set on a fully fenced, family-sized section, this home offers the perfect blend of timeless charm and modern ease. Inside, the 160sqm (more or less) floor area feels even more spacious thanks to high stud ceilings, an abundance of natural light, and a soft, neutral colour palette that highlights the home's classic features - stained glass windows, polished timber floors, and period detailing throughout.
Thoughtfully renovated to pay homage to its heritage while delivering every modern comfort, the home is warm, dry, and move-in ready. The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area forms the heart of the home - a welcoming space with quality appliances, a stone benchtop, and breakfast bar ideal for casual family mornings or entertaining friends. Four well-proportioned bedrooms cater to growing families, while double garaging ensures there's room for bikes, tools, and all the weekend toys.
Step outside and discover your own private oasis. A lush, flat lawn invites backyard cricket or lazy afternoons in the sun, while the inground pool will keep the kids cool and entertained all summer long. With covered alfresco space and full fencing for pets and peace of mind, the backyard is designed for real family living.
Positioned in a blue-chip Chartwell location, you're minutes from the river, a short drive to the CBD, and placed perfectly for quality schooling. Whether you're upsizing, relocating, or seeking an entry into one of Hamilton's most desirable suburbs, this home is a rare opportunity.
Because homes like this, on streets like this, don't come up often.
Come and see it for yourself. You'll feel it the moment you arrive.
