Despite its size, the five-bedroom solidly constructed home was designed to be as low maintenance as possible.
“It’s very comfortable and has offered everything we’ve wanted,” Mr Draper said.
“We can live on the top level and don’t need to go downstairs except to access the wine cellar on the left, and the garage and workshop on the right.”
A concealed lift provides easy access to all levels, while the layout also offers the flexibility to convert a lower level lounge area into a granny flat.
Rarely is air conditioning needed as louvres filter cool breezes throughout the home, which is wrapped in balconies facing east to capture a sensational outlook toward Hamilton and across the CBD.
The top level is comprised of a beautiful master bedroom, executive study, large laundry with courtyard access, and a light and airy open-plan kitchen/living and dining room.
“When I’m working in the kitchen it’s great to see the view across the city, and there’s always something different to look at,” Ms Draper said.
“It’s just a pleasure to cook here as there’s so much bench space and great cabinetry, plus the views. There’s nothing I’d change.”
The middle level is home to the majority of bedrooms, including a spacious guest suite with balcony access, as well as a huge storage room. |
