6 rooms house of 1224m² in Hamilton City

The spacious 6 bedroom property spans over 450 squares and sits on a tranquil, tree-filled sanctuary. Originally commissioned by aviator Ossie James and designed by local architects Aubrey and Mary de Lisle, this triple split-level residence captures the spirit of the 1960s. The middle-tier formal lounge resembles a classic Georgian drawing room, boasting an ornate open fire, sculpted architraves, and retractable stereo speakers in cabinets. A floor-to-ceiling picture window frames leafy green views, and sliding doors connect to a patio and north-facing lawns. There's also a multi-purpose room by the entrance, suitable for an office or 6th bedroom. The elegant chef's kitchen with a butler's pantry overlooks a Corian central island, adjoining a combination dining and casual lounge area. Choose between an east-facing patio for morning sun or a west-facing deck with river views for afternoon sun. Downstairs, there's a 3rd lounge with a wet-bar, a bedroom, and a bathroom, providing possibilities for semi self-contained accommodation. On the top tier, two bedrooms open to a balcony, sharing a main bathroom with a jetted soak tub. The master bedroom is oversized and features an ensuite with Jack & Jill basins, a walk-in robe, and a private Juliette balcony overlooking the pool and gardens. Outside, the property boasts multi-zoned patios and alfresco living areas, extending to level lawns, a family-sized in-ground pool, ponds, and gardens. *Lawn and garden maintenance included in the rent*
