Sheila and Rex Hollinger designed and built the two-bedroom property overlooking St Andrews Course, in Hamilton, over 40 years ago.

The house at 50 St Andrews Terrace still boasts the late couple’s original beige-patterned carpet, curved doorways, rounded walls, and wooden kitchen, as well as the customised built-in cabinetry in the lounge and master bedroom.

The couple’s daughter told OneRoof that her parents had been able to walk out of their back gate and stroll to the first hole. “Their home also became a social spot as they could wave to and chat with their friends as they walked down the fairway,” she told OneRoof.

Hamilton Golf Club is four doors down from the home, which was handy for Rex, who was a long-serving member and even has a bench seat named in his honour there. Sheila was also a regular and was often involved in the organisation of various club events.

Lodge listing Bill Burnett said he has been inundated with calls since the property hit the market last week.

There were only four houses overlooking the golf course, and none had been listed for sale in the last 15 years, he said.

“People are just generally curious. Homes like this don’t come up for sale that often, and 50 St Andrews Terrace has a lot of potential for development.”

While he thought the house would likely be bowled and replaced by the next owner, there was also an opportunity to extend the house and transform it.

“There are lots of different ways you can tackle the property and capture the potential that it’s got.”

Burnett said the initial price feedback had been anywhere between $950,000 and north of $1.1 million.
