57a Knighton Road, Hamilton

An easy choice for entry-level buyers or investors, this gem of a first home is ready to enjoy. It's in a fantastic location for schools, uni, and shops, and well connected to Hillcrest amenities.

Kitchen, dining, and lounge are coordinated by a neutral palette that is stylishly offset by negative kitchen detailing. Ample glazing and a large ranchslider flood the interior with light and a wrap-around deck beckons for outdoor living and entertaining. A fully equipped kitchen with a large island anchors the open plan domain. The island is of a size that it can comfortably accommodate family meals. Three bedrooms and a modern bathroom admirably provide for a growing family. The heat pump is new, and the laundry is handily located at the backdoor.

There's a good-sized backyard for children and pets to play safely, a garden shed, and a carport and parking out front. With so many services in walking distance, lifestyle convenience is huge. Knighton School is metres down the road and St John's College and Waikato University are a short walk. Parks and shops abound in the area.

With the vendors relocating for work, the door opens on a superb investment.
