Ko ngā tirohanga ahurei o te awa me te tohungatanga hoahoanga i whai wāhi nui ki te whakahounga o tēnei whare nui kei te pokapū o te tāone, ā, koirā tonu te whiwhinga. Mai i te tihi ki te pito, kāore i ngaro tētahi āhuatanga i tōna hanga anō. Kei runga i te whenua e 1538sqm te rahi, he whenua tino pai mō te noho, ko tēnei whare e anga ana ki te rāwhiti-raki, tētahi o ngā whare pai rawa atu o te pokapū o Kirikiriroa.

I tua atu i te kuaha hiko, he oāsis e kawe ana i tētahi tikanga hou mō te 'retreat'. I mua, he mea rongonui nō ngā tau 1960, kua huri te whare pereki kua oti te whakapiri kiripaka, kua rua ngā matapihi ki te karaehe, hei tauira huatau o nāianei e whai ana i ngā mea katoa e tūmanakohia ana i roto i tētahi kāinga hou, engari kei te pupuri tonu i te ātaahua o mua i ngā wāhi tika. He ngākau nui tōna mō te manaaki tangata, ā, ka tae ki te tihi o ngā mahi pārekareka o waho. Ka tāpiri ngā tirohanga awa i tētahi āhuatanga pūkenga i roto i ngā wā katoa, ā, kei te pīataata tonu te rā.

He hararei ia rā, nā ngā āhuatanga papai o roto me te āhua o waho e rite ana ki tētahi kāinga hararei e karapoti ana i te 200sqm o ngā papa tāera me te paparanga rākau mārō, he puna kaukau tote me te ipu wera. Ka taea e ngā kaimahi e mahi ana i te kāinga te noho pūmau ki roto i te pātū motuhake 60sqm, ā, ka whānui tōna whakamahinga ki ngā mea pērā i te rūma rūmāpuru nui, taiwhanga, whare omaoma, Airbnb pea, pakihi rānei.

Kei roto i ngā pakitara kua oti te whakamātao o tēnei mea whakamīharo hou ētahi rūma moenga takirua e whā, tae atu ki tētahi rūma moenga matua rangatira me ngā tirohanga awa 180°; e toru ngā wharepaku kua oti te tāera me te whakamahana; me ngā wharepaku e whā. Ko te kīhini mahi kai tuwhera e tiro ana ki te awa, ā, ko te wāhi noho, ka tuwhera ki tētahi paparanga whakairi, he tirohanga mīharo ki te awa me tētahi tirohanga ki te rohe nui o waho.

Kua whakapaipaihia te hangarau huri noa i te kāinga, he tino pai ngā taipitopito, ā, kua whakaarohia ngā mea whaitake katoa. Ngā whakamarie o te tangata, ngā rama me ngā hiko, ngā paipa, ngā papa, te whakamātao - koia tēnā - kāore he rūma, he wāhi, he kōhanga o roto, o waho rānei e ngaro ana.

Ka neke atu i te noa, he kāinga moemoeā tēnei, ā, kei tētahi wāhi pokapū tino pai e tata ana ki te CBD, ngā pae, ngā wharekai, ngā toa kai, te taiwhanga, ā, kei roto i te rohe mātauranga mō ngā Kura Tuarua o ngā Tama me ngā Kōhine o Kirikiriroa.

Unmatched river views and architectural pedigree made this large, inner city home deserving of a top-notch renovation, and that's exactly what it received. From top to bottom, no aspect was overlooked in its recreation. Set on 1538sqm of residential high zoned land, this north-east facing property is one of Hamilton's finest inner-city homes.

Beyond the electronic gate lies an oasis that brings new meaning to retreat. Once a 1960s notable, the solid plaster over brick, double-glazed home has morphed into a contemporary classic containing everything you'd expect to find in a new abode yet retaining the charm of yesterday where it counts. It has a penchant for entertaining & achieves the pinnacle in outdoor recreation. River views add a layer of dynamism through all seasons, and the sun is ever-present.

Every day is a holiday, thanks to luxe interiors and a resort-style exterior that encompasses 200sqm of tiles and hardwood decking, a saltwater pool and hot tub. Home-based workers can hunker down in the separate 60sqm bunker whose use extends to the likes of a super-size rumpus room, studio, gym, potential Airbnb or business.

Within the fully insulated walls of this modern marvel are four double bedrooms, including a heavenly master suite with 180° river views; three fully tiled and heated bathrooms; and four toilets. The open plan chef's kitchen overlooks the river, and the living area, which opens onto an elevated balcony, has jaw-dropping riverscape views and an outlook over the expansive outdoor precinct.

Technology is lavished throughout the home, detailing is impeccable, and every practicality has been considered. Creature comforts, lighting and electrics, plumbing, flooring, insulation - you name it - no room, area, or indoor/outdoor niche misses out.

Reaching far beyond the norm, this home is dream quality and in a fantastic central location close to the CBD, bars, cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, stadium and in zone for Hamilton Boys' & Girls' High.
