Classic period architecture meets the modern style gene at this honey of a home. Brimful of picture postcard charm, Smethurst cottage retains its authenticity and character while encapsulating a contemporary vibe and rural ambience. Brought to market in heightened condition, with the grounds beautifully landscaped and a home that boasts fresh crisp interiors and a themed colour scheme indoors and out, the property is easy to fall in love with. Interiors sit under high stud ceilings and exploit the very best retro features. A large open plan zone combines kitchen, dining and living in a socially cohesive environment. The afternoon sun streams into the lounge to create a warm nest to come home to at the end of the day. The covered porch is designed as an extra living area. Bedrooms are peaceful retreats serviced by an upgraded bathroom and ceiling fans. You can kick back outdoors in the entertainment courtyard overlooking the rolling countryside. A fire pit brings rustic style and warmth to this area, and encourages you to spend long evenings outdoors under the stars. Tucked away in a tranquil nook is a versatile outdoor room fondly known as Shangri-La. There are tiered veggies gardens, trees for lazing in hammocks and plenty of room to tinker thanks to the super-sized 2.5 car garage. Plenty of off-street parking is available. If you want to go a little bit country without sacrificing your need to live close to Hamilton city or the bustling rural town of Te Awamutu, this is the spot for you.
