Dick Mercer Designed Contemporary Riverside Residence

Dick Mercer Contemporary Riverfront Residence

Embracing the essence of late 60’s and early 70’s architecture, this sprawling and generously proportioned modernist home has hallmark Mercer influences throughout. The home was built with the emphasis on natural materials, form, scale and function while making full use of the 1186m² commanding position above the river with views across to the Hamilton Golf Course and beyond. The ensuing  years saw subsequent owners make several changes and upgrades - some sympathetic to the style, some not so. The current owners had always admired this style and vintage of home and once it became available, they secured it and set about rejuvenating this landmark property into the fabulous family home that it is today. Set back from the road you’ll discover an enduring classic with clean distinctive lines and ample space to accommodate a variety of layouts... large or extended/blended families, work from home, or ideal for those that just love space, you decide... there’s 5 bedrooms, 2 with ensuites (master is huge with pedestal spa bath and twin head shower), 2 additional bathrooms, a gallery-like hallway, an office, and generous 4 car garaging for all the toys. They’ve begun to open up the path to the river and there’s scope for new owners to develop further, along with a jetty and disused boat shed and access. The current owners are downsizing to pursue another iconic 60’s gem they’ve had their eye for many years, allowing new custodians the chance to secure this piece of revived architectural brilliance.
