Elevated Design

Architecturally designed by well-known architect Dick Mercer and elevated above its riverfront boundary, this beautifully renovated residence offers scale, privacy and timeless appeal in one of Queenwood’s most established settings.

Set on a generous 1,185sqm section stretching down the Waikato River, the home spans approximately 350sqm and has been thoughtfully laid out to suit large families, guests or multi-generational living. With five bedrooms and four bathrooms, including two ensuites, the accommodation is both flexible and well considered.

The main living level forms the heart of the home, where expansive windows draw in natural light and frame elevated river outlooks. Two separate living areas sit alongside a central dining space and a beautifully renovated kitchen, creating a warm and functional hub for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features a plumbed-in fridge for added convenience, while indoor living connects seamlessly to outdoor areas and the heated salt-water swimming pool, warmed by a heat pump for extended seasonal use.

The upper bedroom wing includes four bedrooms, highlighted by a spacious master suite complete with a large ensuite, multi-purpose room ideal for an office or nursery, walk-in wardrobe and underfloor heating for added comfort. A second ensuite and family bathroom service the remaining rooms, offering practicality for busy households.

Comfort is well considered throughout the home, with gas central heating providing consistent warmth, complemented by a wood burner in the separate living area for a cosy, relaxed atmosphere during the cooler months.

On the ground floor, the home continues to impress with an additional living area, office, wine cellar, utility room, bathroom and separate toilet. This level is ideal for guests, extended family or those needing dedicated work-from-home space. An oversized internal-access garage with four-car capacity and extensive storage completes the picture.

Beautifully crafted with brick and native timber detailing, and enhanced by thoughtful renovations, this is a substantial home that balances architectural character with modern-day comfort.

Positioned within easy walking distance of the Queenwood Village shops and Chartwell Square Shopping Centre, along with nearby cafés and everyday amenities, the location offers excellent convenience for daily life. With quick access into the CBD and north via Wairere Drive, this is a tightly held pocket that continues to be sought after for its balance of lifestyle and connectivity. A distinctive riverside residence in a prized Queenwood setting, offering space, privacy and a lifestyle to match.
