Some homes are finished. Others … are waiting for the right person to bring them back to life.
Set quietly amongst established trees on approximately 1050sqm of park-like grounds, this 1980s character home feels like it's been paused in time, ready for its next chapter to begin. For builders, flippers, and hands on creators, this is more than a project, it's an opportunity to reshape, reimagine, and ultimately reap the reward.
Yes, it needs love. Remedial work. A reclad. But within these walls sits the kind of scale and substance that's increasingly hard to find, and even harder to recreate.
The home opens into a generous kitchen and dining space, where French doors hint at what could become a sun-soaked deck overlooking a lush, green backdrop. Just beyond, the tiered living room adds a sense of depth and separation, anchored by a vintage Fisher wood burner and softened by stained glass windows, small reminders of the home's character and the story still waiting to unfold.
Four spacious bedrooms provide flexibility for growing families or future resale, including two with high pitched ceilings that lift the space and invite natural light to pour in. A recently modernised bathroom and separate laundry offer a practical starting point as you plan your transformation.
Outside is where the magic really begins. Mature trees, scattered fruit plantings, and a sense of privacy combine to create a setting that feels more like a retreat than a residential section. It's peaceful, grounded, and full of potential, the kind of environment that elevates whatever you choose to build here.
And tucked within it all, a true piece of New Zealand history. The original Shacklock Orion stove, once the heart of the home, now waiting to be restored and admired once more.
Complete with a large double carport and ample off-street parking, the foundations are here. What comes next is up to you.
Offered as is, where is, this is a property for those who can see beyond the surface. Those who understand that the best opportunities aren't always polished, they're uncovered.
