This property has a distinct sense of place. A masterpiece created by the internationally acclaimed architect Ron Sang. This stunning residence offers a harmonious blend of contemporary style and tranquillity, ensuring an environment that resonates with aspects of Feng Shui principles. Using sound fundamentals and design concept to create a functional, modernist home melding unique raw materials with innovative design, passion and heart. Thoughtful attention to the way modern families live, the home seamlessly blends accommodation and its specific uses. It allows varying age groups with different lifestyles to interact, yet not to impose upon each other. This home achieves clever use of space, provides privacy and autonomy for family and guests to retreat to, yet it extends for larger scale entertaining. This house is not only an Architectural Statement, but an immensely practical home. Meticulous detailing and bespoke use of materials none more so than the granite floor tiles, sourced from Tretheway Stone Ltd, laid with the grain to follow the river's flow. Tretheway also supplied the black granite benchtops, the suspended fireplace hearth, and a custom dining table designed by Ron Sang, all crafted from the same granite cut. A notable feature of the house is the large circular front door handle, designed by renowned NZ artist Guy Ngan OBE, which appears in many homes designed by Sang Architects. Throughout the house, bespoke joinery created by Phoenix Joinery complements Sang Architects' designs, while most architectural hardware, including door handles, was sourced from Halliday + Baillie. The lower level presents an internally accessed double garage with an adjacent workshop area, a wine cellar with a cooling system, laundry and a versatile self-contained bedroom. The middle level is the heart of the home, featuring a central kitchen with a family room, a separate formal dining area, formal lounge, office and a powder room. The principal bedroom is a serene retreat, complete with an ensuite and walk-in robe. The top level lets you live amongst tree tops; this floor unveils two further bedrooms, a bathroom, and lounging room which opens out to a private roof-top terrace where panoramic views of the Waikato River stretch out before you. The 867sq m parcel of prime land has been in the same family for over 100 years. There is strong potential to subdivide, an initial survey investigation report is available. This home is discretely nestled within a desirable enclave and offers direct access to river trails. A mere five-minute walk from the Hamilton CBD, you'll have the best of both worlds.
