2/36 Comries Road, Chartwell, Hamilton, Waikato

A study in modern simplicity, easy-living and contemporary comfort, this home delivers so much, including a fabulous Chartwell location close to the river. Tucked safely off the road, it lies at the end of a long drive on a quiet, manageable site with green screening on the rear boundary.

Built by GJ Gardner Homes, the double-glazed, painted brick abode is well-presented and extols the virtues of indoor-outdoor living. Light floods in through a slew of glazing, making the open plan zone a warm and inviting hub for everyday living, relaxing and entertaining. The seamless way this large area blends with the outdoors ensures living space is not limited to inside only. Aesthetics are uplifting and a lovely feeling of sanctuary pervades the home.

When it comes to personal space, three bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom serve a family admirably. The master has an outdoor connection, an ensuite and walk-in robe, and the office provides a quiet space for work.

There is a double garage, off-street parking and tidy grounds.

The property offers numerous lifestyle gains. It is in zone for Hukanui School and in easy walking distance of riverside reserves and Queenwood village. Chartwell shopping center is at the other end of the street and River Road is moments away for commuters.
