7 Derwent Place, Flagstaff, Hamilton, Waikato

A superb entry into Flagstaff, this home has everything a family needs in a very tidy and manageable package. It's in a quiet family-oriented cul-de-sac close to an early childhood centre and all levels of Rototuna education, moments from the Waikato Expressway and in easy reach of Rototuna Village, Woolworths supermarket and Borman Village. Location is king when it comes to real estate and this home is smack in the heart of things, with numerous amenities in walking distance and buses in regular service.

As well as its ultra-convenient location, the home promises low upkeep thanks to brick construction, double glazed joinery and a fenced 603sqm section landscaped for minimal fuss.

Two living areas, four bedrooms and two bathrooms offer ample space for everyone's activities. Both the open plan domain and the master bedroom spill onto a sunny backyard patio that beckons for alfresco meals and relaxation. The sitting room is ideal for media and formal entertaining. Kids can take over one space while adults socialise in another.

All bedrooms are double size and contain decent wardrobe space. An ensuite, a walk-in wardrobe and instant outdoor fare ensures the master bedroom meets modern expectations. A family bathroom, separate toilet, laundry and double garage complete the floorplan, and a heat pump maintains year-round comfort.

There is off-street parking and the advantage of being at the end of the cul-de-sac well away from main thoroughfares and traffic.
