27 Hillcrest Road, Hillcrest —

Built in 1966, the mid-century gem sits on a large 1100sqm parcel of land tucked down a drive amid leafy, well-established surroundings. Its private, north-facing backyard takes advantage of the sun and section elevation and shows a real penchant for outdoor living and the quintessential Kiwi lifestyle.

Inherently charming, the painted brick and vertical weatherboard home retains its distinctive architectural elements. Sun was a prominent factor in the design, with living spaces positioned for optimum solar gain and the home extensively glazed to draw in light and natural warmth. Sliding doors take inside activities outdoors creating a blended environment for relaxed living and effortless entertaining.

Raked ceilings heighten the sense of light and space, and comfort is generated by air-conditioning units and a gas fireplace.

Family and friends have ample room to gather, socialise and dine, and there's no shortage of personal retreats thanks to four bedrooms. The master has an ensuite and outdoor access, and the fully tiled family bathroom is tastefully renovated to reflect the ethos of the home. Toilet and laundry are both separate.

A double tandem garage and excellent off-street parking accommodate cars, boat and trailer, and a large garden shed addresses storage needs.

Convenience is the catchcry here. Coveted Hillcrest schools are walking or biking distance and the University of Waikato and St John's College are just up the road. The area is well serviced by shops, eateries, medical, parks and public transport, and expressways are extremely handy.
