5 Moana Street, Frankton, Hamilton, Waikato

Some homes just feel right the moment you walk in. 5 Moana Street is one of those special places. Since 2004, the current owners have poured their heart and soul into this 1910 residence, creating a home that is as much about comfort as it is about history. After two decades of being a much-loved family sanctuary, it is ready for its next chapter. The sense of space here is incredible. High studs and native timber give the home a warm but spacious feel, timeless quality, while the grand entrance hints at the stories held within. A truly unique feature is the oversized doors and bookcases salvaged from the original Hamilton Courthouse—pieces that add a sense of character you simply won't find anywhere else. The layout is designed for easy family living. With three bedrooms, plus office or fourth bedroom, two bathrooms, you have a separate lounge for relaxed evenings by the open fire, and a dining room with a wood burner that naturally flows into the kitchen. In the summer, the kitchen bi-fold windows open up to an elevated deck that sits right in the canopy of a mature plum tree—the perfect spot for a morning coffee or an evening drink. Outside, the backyard is a private world of its own. It’s a productive, green space where you can pick fruit from the trees or veggies from the garden. There is even a wood-fired pizza oven tucked under an authentic Italian grapevine, making it an amazing spot for hosting friends and family. Located just minutes from Hamilton Lake, Frankton Village, and the CBD, you have everything you need right on your doorstep. Plus, for those with an eye for the future, the basement workshop and laundry area offers the exciting potential to be dug out to create a basement garage. This is a home with a history and a heart. After 20 years, the owners are ready to pass the keys to someone who will love it as much as they have.
