1 Hamilton Parade, Hamilton City Central, Hamilton, Waikato

Designed by the late Ron Sang ONZM, this architecturally significant residence occupies one of Hamilton Parade’s most tightly held positions — directly opposite the Waikato River, where uninterrupted water and reserve views create a sense of space rarely found this close to the CBD.

From the moment of arrival, the home’s signature pivoting entry sets the tone — bold, distinctive, and unmistakably Sang. Originally designed in 1989 and thoughtfully refurbished, the home balances timeless architecture with modern comfort.

Spanning approximately 280sqm on a 446sqm section, the living spaces are defined by a striking barrel-vaulted ceiling and expansive glazing that draws in light and frames the river outlook from multiple vantage points. Motorised Shugg windows and floor-to-ceiling glass ensure the home is filled with natural light throughout the day.

The open-plan living, dining and kitchen flow seamlessly to a generous covered outdoor entertaining area with electric louvres — a setting designed as much for hosting as for everyday living, with a true indoor-outdoor connection that is increasingly sought yet rarely achieved at this level.

The Robin Caudwell kitchen anchors the social heart of the home, offering generous bench space and a layout equally suited to entertaining and daily life.

Four well-separated double-glazed bedrooms provide privacy and flexibility, including a master suite with ensuite. A gas fireplace, fully ducted heating and cooling, triple-car garaging, separate laundry and ample off-street parking complete the picture.

Positioned directly across from the river walkway and within easy walking distance to cafés, dining and the CBD, this is a rare opportunity to secure a design-led riverfront home in one of Hamilton’s most tightly held and desirable locations.
