About this property
Opportunities offering flexible dual living or extended family options are highly valuable in today’s challenging economy. Beyond the steady income a secondary dwelling can provide, an additional home offers exceptional flexibility for families needing extra space. This property is ideal for accommodating extended family members, as the second dwelling is private and fully independent of the main home. The setup is equally appealing for Airbnb income and is an obvious choice for investors wanting to secure two income streams from one property.Another major advantage is the prime location. Nestled right in the heart of Hillcrest, this property is within easy reach of schools, the university, shops, and medical services. The area will always be in high demand among families, students, faculty, and professionals working nearby at Waikato Innovation Park and the Ruakura Superhub.
The main home is a classic 1960s brick beauty, featuring three bedrooms, open-plan dining and kitchen, a generous lounge, a bathroom with both shower and tub, a separate toilet, and laundry. There’s a heat pump in the lounge for comfort, and the kitchen includes a dishwasher and freestanding oven. While the home has had a busy life, a few upgrades would truly revitalise it.
At approximately 52sqm, the second dwelling offers two bedrooms, a modern bathroom, and open-plan living with a heat pump. It’s positioned privately at the rear of the large 781sqm section and includes carport parking.
Both the front section and the fenced backyard provide ample green space for outdoor play and family activities. Kids can easily head down to Hillcrest Park or Jansen Park for sports and recreation.
Convenience is key here — Masters Avenue shops, New World supermarket, Hillcrest High School, St John’s College, and the University of Waikato are all within easy walking distance.
