Overview

BIG OPPORTUNITY, SMALL PRICE

Positioned on the beach side of Rua Avenue and just a short walk from the sand, 71 Rua Avenue offers a rare opportunity to secure an affordable property in one of Waitarere Beach’s most desirable locations. This original 1940s two-bedroom kiwi bach is full of character and is currently lived in full-time, while also making the perfect weekend getaway. The home has benefited from extensive improvements, including approximately 90% rewiring, fresh paint, new carpet, a reconditioned fireplace, and a roof replaced within the last 10 to 15 years. It is important to note the home requires re-piling, and this has been reflected in the asking price. Whether you choose to enjoy it as it is, renovate over time, or plan for a future rebuild, the opportunity is clear. The fully fenced section includes two sheds and enjoys a sheltered position away from the prevailing westerly wind, while remaining only moments from the beach. Buyer Enquiry Over $329,000 reflects both the improvements already completed and the work still to be done. Opportunities to buy on the beach side of Rua Avenue at this level are rare. Good luck!
