45 Te Aroha Street, Hamilton East, Hamilton, Waikato, 3216, New Zealand

This lovingly restored bungalow has all the charm that comes from native timbers and late 1930s styling. From the entranceway through to every room, the space feels natural and welcoming. With matai floors throughout, and three large bedrooms retaining original art-deco features modernised with retro-fitted double glazing, this home offers comfortable living year-round. The open-plan lounge and dining area opens onto a large north-facing deck within a stunning private garden fringed with native trees. You’ll also reap year-round rewards from the mature fruit trees and established food gardens.

The house is situated well away from street traffic with a child-friendly shared concrete driveway. The single garage has extra workshop space and there are two additional car parks with easy turning. You will have exclusive use of 400 sq.m of the 1429 sq.m cross-leased section shared with 45B and 45C.

Just across the road lies a hidden Hamilton gem, Seeley’s Gully, with its network of walking trails through restored native forest and wetlands. The leafy green oasis at 45 Te Aroha St is a welcome stopover for native birds on their flight path between Seeley’s Gully and the cathedral-like Kahikatea forest of Claudelands Bush.

You’ll be just 15-minute’s walk from the CBD and river paths, close to Claudelands Event Centre, Hamilton Farmer’s Market, Woolworths Supermarket and Mitre 10, and on the main bus route to Ruakura and the University.
