Simply bursting with charm and elegance, this captivating 2-bedroom apartment proudly sits in one of Hamilton East's most coveted enclaves. A true Art Deco gem, it blends timeless character with generous proportions, nestled amid lush greenery and established gardens in the boutique 'Merebene' building.
Step through the gracious shared foyer into Apartment One and be greeted by striking timber floors, soaring 3-metre ceilings, and ornate plasterwork that reflects the building's glamorous past. The vast, air-conditioned lounge is the home's statement space, with a grand bay window drawing in natural light and accentuating the room's generous proportions, while a majestic fireplace sets the tone for cosy evenings or stylish entertaining. Adjoining this space, a sun-drenched room with plantation shutters offers superb flexibility as a serene study, sunny reading nook, or charming playroom.
The master bedroom is queen-sized in every sense – palatial, private, and inviting, with more than enough space to create your own retreat. The second bedroom continues the generous proportions, easily accommodating a queen bed and more. Both rooms are serviced by a neat, modernised bathroom with a walk-in shower.
A generous dining room connects seamlessly with the bright, functional kitchen, which offers ample bench and cupboard space, along with a tall window framing the sunny garden aspect. It's perfectly suited to daily living yet offers scope to update in line with the home's distinctive character. Adjoining, a second sunroom offers a bright tranquil retreat and an additional space to work, unwind, or play. A private back porch leads to a single carport, shared lawns, and a shared laundry.
This home's layout is wonderfully adaptable, with multiple spaces that can be tailored to suit a range of buyers. Professionals will appreciate the oversized bedrooms and dual sunrooms, ideal for home offices or study spaces. Families will value the flexible layout and generously sized rooms that serve busy, active lifestyles.
