Set behind an automatic gate on a recently resealed driveway in one of St Andrews' most established streets, this extensively renovated 1950s style residence makes an immediate statement. Spanning a generous 398sqm across a fully fenced and gated 1,860sqm section, the home retains all the character and craftsmanship of its era while delivering a level of luxury and finish that is thoroughly contemporary. The renovation has been carried out with genuine care, touching virtually every corner of the home. The main living areas occupy the ground floor, where brand new hardwood oak flooring laid in 2026 sets the tone from the moment you step inside. Fine period detailing and a freshly painted interior throughout honour the home's heritage while giving it a crispness that feels entirely current. A new balustrade in the stairwell adds a considered architectural touch, while new carpet installed in 2019 adds warmth to the spaces that call for it. The kitchen is built for serious entertaining. Appointed with a collection of wall ovens, a brand new dishwasher installed in 2026, a drinks fridge and an abundance of bench and storage space, it is a kitchen that works as hard as it looks. Freshly painted cabinetry gives it a clean, contemporary edge, and a well-appointed scullery extends things further with its own convection microwave and additional storage, keeping the main kitchen composed when guests arrive. Designer tapware completes a space where craftsmanship and function sit in easy balance. A separate office, a fully tiled bathroom, a newly fitted laundry and a new lower-storey roof installed in 2026 complete the ground floor, providing confidence for years to come. Upstairs, all four bedrooms are positioned together, offering a well-considered separation between living and sleeping. Three bedrooms each open to a balcony with views across St Andrews Golf Course, a backdrop that makes an impression morning or evening. The master suite is a genuine retreat, featuring a large ensuite with electric underfloor heating and a new walk-in wardrobe. A fully renovated family bathroom, updated in 2019, serves the remaining bedrooms with equal care. Outside, the north-east orientation draws in generous morning and afternoon sun across the entertaining areas and gardens. New landscaping and lawns, completed in 2020, frame a backyard designed with entertaining firmly in mind. The saltwater swimming pool, installed in late 2020, sits at the centre of it all, alongside an Alpine spa and a substantial concrete outdoor entertaining area complete with a fully enclosed BBQ and fireplace, a setup that works just as well on a winter evening as it does on a long summer afternoon. The lawn area has been carefully retained, providing generous open space across the section. At the front, a large lawn offers plenty of room for children to play, and the fully fenced and gated section ensures security throughout. A double garage, a separate carport and generous off-street parking cater well for larger households and visiting guests, while a utility shed offers additional storage with its own access off a right-of-way. Comfort is well considered throughout, with a ducted gas heating system, electric underfloor heating in the ensuite, a new gas infinity hot water system and a whole-home sound system. St Andrews Golf Course is moments from the front gate, and Vardon School and St Andrews Middle School are both within the zone. With the Waikato River just a short walk away, and the CBD, The Base, and local cafes within minutes, this is a rare opportunity to secure an architectural showpiece in a tightly held St Andrews address. Distinctive, private and steeped in character, this is a home that stands apart.
