THERE have been many happy memories created in this Hillcrest home over the past 12 years but it’s now time for the owners to downsize. The three-level home with multiple living areas is simply too big for them – but perfect for another growing family.
Built in 1980, with a distinctive plyclad and batten exterior, it has been well maintained over the years and retains much of the character of the era. This makes for a relaxed, comfortable home and also one with plenty of potential for further development.
There is plenty of room here for everything – parking, play, gardening, outdoor entertaining and just plain living. With four to five bedrooms, three living areas, two bathrooms and an office, there are so many options and this home will tick a lot of boxes for buyers seeking a large family home, or a profitable rental investment.
Number 8 Waiewe makes the most of its 1004 square metre hill section with 270 square metres of living spread over three levels. Downstairs there is an end-on-end double garage – with plenty of off-street parking outside – a laundry, bedroom, and large rumpus room.
The main living areas are on the first floor with an open plan kitchen/dining room that opens onto a private rear deck. This is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the stunning gardens that have been lovingly created over recent years.
There is a large separate lounge on this level, a study, and two bedrooms that both open onto a deck overlooking the neighbouring park.
The master bedroom is upstairs, a massive room with giant double-access walk-in wardrobe/dressing room, en suite and window seat overlooking the garden.
This floor serves as a parents’ retreat with its own large lounge from which the views are truly impressive.
Outside there are plenty of different seating areas and outdoor spaces to enjoy. Children will love exploring the pathway up the hill to the top of the section.
The location of this property is perfect. It is the first house on Waiewe Street so just a short walk down the hill into town to the cafes, restaurants and shops.
The current owners and their children have loved the convenience of living here and know whoever is lucky enough to move in next will feel the same way.
