Overview

Do-Up Delight in a City Fringe Location!

Are you looking for a first home where you can add value? With a combination of large land, character and charm? Positioned in an elegant established neighbourhood with friendly neighbours all around? Tucked away from the road down a leafy green driveway the abundance of fruit trees thrives in the free-draining volcanic soil bathed in all-day sunshine. It is private and peaceful with plenty of room for backyard cricket. A real safe haven for pets, preschoolers, and homebodies alike. Make no mistake: this is not a development site. It is an oasis where you can enjoy the good life while still being close to everything modern life demands. The original 1940's home has served its purpose well and is seeking fresh eyes to reimagine its next chapter, after 70 plus years in the same family. Absolutely livable as is but if you're ready to roll up your sleeves you will reap the rewards because this is a fabulous opportunity this close to town. Three bedrooms with recently added plantation blinds and built in wardrobes would benefit from new paint and wall paper. Your kitchen, dining, and living area, in sunny yellow hues, is all original and will be where significant value and functionality can be added. There is an open fire for chilly winter nights and a heat pump for convenience. I bet your new favorite will be the sunroom, looking out over the garden with a coffee in hand. Or it would be an ideal greenhouse for the green fingered who want to raise their own vegetable seedlings to fill the garden. There is ample off-street parking a tired single garage and a second huge shed at the front to store all the DIY gear you will need for the job or to accommodate a work from home studio/storage space. Don't delay call today to arrange your private viewing or we look forward to seeing you at the advertised open homes.
