Description
Opportunities like this are incredibly rare. Welcome to 31 and 33 Naylor Street in Hamilton East — a remarkable offering of two titles, two homes, and a property rich in character, charm and possibility. Set proudly behind the classic white picket fence, 33 Naylor Street immediately captures the romance of a truly iconic character home. From the moment you arrive, the scene feels special. Manicured gardens frame the home, while the elegant white portico entrance and beautiful stained-glass window create a sense of timeless charm before you even step inside. Inside, the home unfolds with all the grace and craftsmanship you would expect from a property of this era. High ceilings, ornate detailing, beautiful light fittings and large windows create spaces filled with warmth, light and personality. There are two separate living rooms, both welcoming and intimate, each framed by large windows that draw in the surrounding gardens. The main living room is anchored by a gas fireplace, creating a space that feels cosy and inviting through every season. At the heart of the home, the modernised kitchen and dining area blends contemporary convenience with character charm. From here, doors open seamlessly to the expansive outdoor deck, an exceptional space for entertaining, outdoor dining or simply relaxing while overlooking the beautifully established grounds. The accommodation is equally impressive, supported by two bathrooms, including the main bathroom featuring a stunning clawfoot bath — a timeless feature that perfectly complements the character of the home. Outside, the grounds are simply beautiful. Vegetable gardens, mature plantings, fruit trees and a garden shed create a property that feels both productive and peaceful, while the expansive lawn provides space rarely found this close to the city. But what truly sets this opportunity apart is what sits just beyond the picket fence. 31 Naylor Street is available to purchase alongside the main residence, creating an incredibly flexible lifestyle opportunity. This charming secondary dwelling offers cathedral ceilings, a generous living space, bedroom and bathroom, along with a well-appointed kitchen and its own private outdoor courtyard. Mostly double glazed & a heat pump ensures year-round comfort, making it an ideal space for extended family, guests, independent living or an additional income stream. In addition a double garage, providing excellent storage and secure parking. Completing the property is a separate cabin, currently used as a home office, featuring a clever mezzanine space ideal for a queen bed. It’s a versatile space that could easily become a studio, creative retreat or guest accommodation. All of this sits in one of Hamilton’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. Hamilton East is loved for its character homes, leafy streets and vibrant lifestyle. From here you’re just a short stroll to Made café, close to the Hamilton Gardens, and moments from beautiful Waikato River walks and some of

Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
