724 River Road, Chartwell, Hamilton, Waikato, 3210, New Zealand
Dripping with charm, this heritage home has jaw-dropping cuteness. Tucked away in a private garden wonderland in a prime River Road location, it offers apartment-like living with the enchantment of an indoor-outdoor lifestyle amidst nature. The original Donny farm workers’ cottage, the home was built in 1914 and has been well preserved and sensitively upgraded. Its character can’t fail to delight.
An open plan living zone forms the heart of the home in an upgrade that brings a modern kitchen into the family environment and floods the area with all-day sun. The custom-designed kitchen featuring American oak cabinetry and black granite bench-tops blends seamlessly with the ambience of the cottage.
Three gorgeous bedrooms and a bathroom ease off the central zone. From the full length front verandah to the deck and courtyard settings at the rear, there are plentiful opportunities for secluded outdoor relaxation and entertaining.
The fully insulated interiors have recently been repainted and recarpeted. Heating is provided by a gas fire set in a Kauri surround, hot water is gas infinity and HRV keeps the home dry and healthy. Cooking is gas.
Picturesque gardens will be full of colour and floral beauty come spring. The section is fenced and pet-friendly, has established veggie boxes, a glass house and garden shed. Garage and home are closely linked for easy accessibility. River and park are moments away. The local dairy is just down the road with Waikato Diocesan School for Girls and Woodstock Primary only a short walk. Major amenities, including the CBD and The Base, are a 10-minute drive.
