Right on the edge of Hamilton’s CBD, close by Hamilton’s Botanic Gardens, is this delightful period style home. The Californian Bungalow exudes charm, with features such as high ceilings, stained glass windows, timber wall panelling, ornate fretwork throughout.

Privately set behind a picket fence, on an 850m2 block, the generously proportioned home contains a flexible floorplan which contains four bedrooms and numerous living spaces.

The timber kitchen contains a gas cooktop, corner pantry and is attached to a large dining space. Period charm is again evident in the main living room, with its ceiling rose and hand painted decorative cornice.

A spacious living area upstairs lends itself for use as a teenager’s retreat or guest quarters and provides access onto a rear balcony. This space features a split system for comfort control. The home also offers central heating.

Timber accents are notable in the centrally appointed downstairs bathroom, which has a bath, shower and vanity. This is neighboured by the large laundry, which contains a shower. An additional bathroom is located upstairs and contains a shower and toilet.

Keen entertainers will be most impressed with the addition of an expansive undercover entertaining area, overlooking the rear yard. Another toilet is also available here. Further external features include secure off-street parking, a double garage and workshop as well as an established garden.
