What could this home be worth after a little elbow grease in a recovered market? That's the question savvy buyers will be asking — and the opportunity here makes it one well worth exploring. Positioned on a generous 515sqm^ north-facing section with expansive yard space front and back, this 124sqm^ home is clearly ready for cosmetic enhancement. Kitchen and bathroom upgrades are required, but for those prepared to roll up their sleeves, the upside is compelling.
Whether you're a first-home buyer seeking an entry into Island Bay, a renovator looking to add value, or an investor eyeing long-term potential, this is an opportunity not to overlook.
