This 1960s-built home has plenty going for it. Elevated at the end of a cul-de-sac in popular Wakari, it combines good bones with a long list of thoughtful upgrades over the years. Improvements include updated electrics, insulation, drainage work, the roof and fresh wallpaper inside. It also meets Healthy Homes standards.

Inside, the home is thoughtfully laid out. Three bedrooms and the bathroom with shower-over-bath are set on one side, along with a separate toilet. The other side has the living spaces, with a kitchen, dining/living area and lounge. While already comfortable and functional, the home offers exciting potential to open the kitchen to the dining and living areas as well as creating indoor/outdoor living. A heat pump and gas fire help ensure the home stays warm through the cooler months.

Basement garaging offers secure parking, good storage and the laundry. The section is well suited to family life, giving plenty of space for children and pets to play. The driveway provides off-street parking and doubles as an all-weather surface for bikes, scooters and ball games.

Adding to the appeal is the excellent location, zoned for Balmacewen Intermediate, John McGlashan College, Columba College, St Hilda’s and Otago Girls.

With comfort, potential and location all working in its favour, this one is well worth a look. Please note, as the property is tenanted, viewing is via open home only.
