A little tired around the edges, but full of promise, this is a home where the hard work could really pay off.
If you've been searching for a property you can put your own stamp on, 15A Duncan Street could be the project you've been waiting for.
Set in a handy Tawa location and enjoying plenty of sunshine, this four-bedroom home offers a solid starting point for someone with vision. There are three bedrooms upstairs and a fourth downstairs, giving families flexibility for teenagers, guests, hobbies or simply some extra space.
The heart of the home is the open-plan living and dining area, with doors opening to the front deck - a lovely spot to capture the sun and enjoy a morning coffee or evening drink. And beneath the current flooring lies a particularly exciting feature: native timber floors that, with some love and a good polish, could become a real showpiece.
The kitchen and bathroom are ready for updating, and there is plenty of scope to modernise the home and create something that reflects your own style.
There are also some important boxes already ticked: double glazing, insulation in the ceiling and underfloor, a heat pump, a recently replaced roof and exterior repainting. The home also has a gas central heating system with eight vents, although this is currently unused.
Outside, the backyard provides a space for children or pets, while the tandem garage offers useful parking and storage. There's also the added benefit of a solar system, installed in 2019 under a long-term contract (if you would like to keep it), helping to reduce reliance on the grid and offset rising power costs.
Yes, this one needs work. But that's also where the opportunity lies.
With a refreshed kitchen and bathroom, some cosmetic magic and those beautiful native floors brought back to life, we can see this becoming a warm, stylish and very appealing family home.
If you're prepared to roll up your sleeves, 15A Duncan Street could be your chance to turn a tired home into something rather special.
Come and see the potential for yourself.
