1033 River Road, Queenwood, Hamilton City, Waikato

Nestled on the banks of the Waikato River in the sought after suburb of Queenwood, this inimitable 1960s home was designed by renowned architect Dick Mercer and enjoys direct river access for effortless waterfront living. A covered front porch with bespoke Winckelmans French tiles sets the tone, framed by an immaculate European inspired garden with established plantings. From the moment the front door opens, sweeping river views create an immediate sense of calm and connection to the landscape. The lower level forms the heart of the home. Native timber detailing and an open stone fireplace bring warmth and character to the main living area, while expansive sliding doors flood the space with natural light and invite the river outlook inside. The recently remodelled kitchen has been tastefully updated to complement the home's original style and flows seamlessly into the dining area. A private courtyard provides an idyllic setting for alfresco dining. Also on this level is a generous bedroom, separate bathroom and laundry, along with a spacious secondary lounge opening directly to the pool area. Featuring a bar and a separate storage room, this versatile space is ideal for entertaining, a teenagers' retreat, or relaxed family living. Upstairs, three further bedrooms are complemented by a family bathroom, with the master enjoying direct access. Double garaging connects through to an extra-large multipurpose room, perfectly suited as an additional bedroom, home office, or studio. Outdoors, the property is a dream for families, offering expansive lawns for children and pets, multiple decked areas for entertaining, and thoughtfully designed spaces that all orient toward the river and views across to St Andrews Golf Course. Within easy walking distance of Queenwood and Chartwell shops and cafes and with quick access to the CBD and north via Wairere Drive, this is a rare opportunity to secure an architecturally significant riverside home in one of Hamilton's most desirable locations.
