For first-home buyers wanting more than a townhouse or unit, 123 Rimu Street offers something increasingly hard to find – a freestanding character home with genuine space around it, a generous backyard and plenty of personality.
Inside, the home's character has been retained while practical improvements make everyday living comfortable. Polished timber floors, high ceilings and decorative detailing provide a reminder of the home's era, while the updated kitchen offers a clean, contemporary workspace with plenty of storage and room for dining.
The separate lounge is a comfortable place to unwind, complete with a heat pump and attractive period detailing, while the sunroom provides valuable additional space that could easily become a home office, reading room, children's play area or simply somewhere to enjoy a quiet afternoon.
Three generous bedrooms provide plenty of flexibility for couples, young families or those wanting space to work from home. The bathroom combines a freestanding bath with a separate shower, while a separate laundry adds another practical feature often missing from newer, more compact homes.
Double glazing has been fitted throughout and is supported by a Master Builders Guarantee, adding an important modern comfort to this character home.
Outside is where the property really separates itself from many first-home alternatives. There's room to enjoy the lawn, a fenced backyard for children or pets, established greenery and a substantial brick-paved outdoor entertaining area – plenty of space for summer BBQs and weekends with friends.
While you have the benefit of your own home and section, you aren't giving up convenience. Public transport is available along Rimu Street, everyday amenities are nearby, and the location provides easy access towards Hamilton's CBD and the city's main transport connections.
