An “exceptional” home in a “desirable” neighbourhood is how Martini is billed.

The three-bedroom house sits on just under half-an-acre in Melville Estate. A semi-detached two-bedroom townhouse and a studio apartment comes with it. Joy Lusher Real Estate Ltd is offering the Devonshire property for $2.25 million.

“Well positioned in a mature garden setting of just under half- an-acre, the main house is in pristine condition and all on one level making it ideal for a young family or a couple seeking a perfect retirement home with income,” said realtor Sue Lusher.

The home comes with a pool and a “spacious, state-of-the-art custom-built kitchen”.

The master bedroom boasts a large walk-in closet; the en suite bathroom has “an enormous walk-in shower”.

“The beautifully designed eat-in kitchen opens onto a dining patio adjacent to the swimming pool,” Ms Lusher added.

“The gardens are beautifully planted with mature hedges affording a great deal of privacy; [an] ideal property for small children and dogs.”

The adjacent, two-storey townhouse offers “excellent income” potential and is equally suitable accommodation for family, or visiting friends.

“On the ground floor is an open-plan kitchen and family or dining room. [An] extremely spacious living room with fireplace opens onto a covered private patio, laundry and powder room; upstairs are two bedrooms and a shared bathroom. Ample closet and storage space. At the lower level of the townhouse is a large finished ‘basement’ area currently utilised as a gym, with plenty of additional room for storage.

“Additionally, there is a spacious, upper studio apartment with kitchen, bed-sitting room and bathroom. There are three assessment numbers in total.”

The property is in “great condition”.

As a bonus it’s only a short commute into Hamilton, with a grocery store and schools nearby, and within walking distance to bus stops. “[Martini] fulfills the three most important criteria when seeking to invest in real estate: location, location, location,” the realtor added.

“[It is] a rare opportunity to invest in a wonderful neighbourhood [that is] close to Hamilton, to enjoy a high standard of living in the main house and to benefit from significant income from the studio and spacious townhouse.”
