If size and location are important to you, this property is priority viewing. The 458m2 Matangi home set on a 2.19 ha block, embraces country life in a big way. It is perfect for a large family who yearn for space, room for animals and expansive entertainment areas within easy reach of the city. Everything is on a big scale and the home has a sunny disposition. The layout is thoughtfully arranged for family and guests and places an emphasis on effortless outdoor living and entertaining. Decks feature front and rear. Visitors or extended family are treated to a private utility wing which gives independence from the main living zones and can be completely shut off. Ground floor contains two spacious living areas, each with a woodburner. The country-sized kitchen allows several cooks to work harmoniously together while chatting to guests. An office, two laundry rooms, two bathrooms and a guest bedroom complete the first level. Family bedrooms and two bathrooms spread across the upper level. The master is an impressive retreat where parents can lounge, sleep, dress and bathe in spacious surrounds. All upstairs bedrooms have lovely elevated outlooks, and one has ensuite access into the family bathroom. Much of the home has been refurbished, and every nook and cranny throughout is used for storage. If it's garaging and sheds you crave, this property appeases. There is a three-car internal access garage, plus two substantial sheds on power and concrete floors. Bring all the pets you can muster - 11 paddocks will house the lot. Sheep, cows, horses and dogs have had a fine life here. New boundary fencing has been erected, as well as some new post and rail to a rear paddock. The large veggie garden is an apt size for the home. Gardens are established and an in-ground salt water pool complex is carved into the landscape. The property lies in one of Hamilton's most accessible lifestyle areas, in zone for Matangi and Hillcrest education and minutes from city life.
