Quiet without being sleepy and set within a short walk of Te Awamutu Intermediate, 1086 Hazelmere Crescent is located in a town that sits close enough to Hamilton to commute from and settled enough to feel entirely like its own place.

The section is 771 square metres of flat land with a covered deck off the living room and an open outlook at the rear. There is a garage, playhouse, a potting shed, a proper lawn, and a producing orange tree. Off-street parking at both the front and the rear.

Built in the 1970s, brick, and designed to last. Three double bedrooms, all with wardrobes. One bathroom with a bath, vanity, and shower, with a separate toilet alongside. The layout is clear and considered: every room knows what it is for, and none of them waste the space they have been given.

The modernised kitchen runs long and galley-style, with real bench space and storage that works for a household in full use. Light and bright, the kitchen opens to the dining area with a view over the back section, and the laundry sits at the end of the kitchen, separate enough to keep the busy parts of the morning contained. The living room is large enough to use properly: a double-glazed ranchslider opens to the covered deck, and a ducted heat pump for heating and cooling runs through the living room and every bedroom.

Community favourites Robert Harris and Pickle and Plum are a short drive into town, where everything else that a household needs is all within easy reach.

This is a house that is ready to be someone’s first. It has good bones, a section with room to grow into, and a community you’ll love being a part of.
