Three key features best describe 12 Tinakori Road: a flexible layout, timeless character, and a prime location within walking distance of the city. Spread out over approximately 210sqm, the property is currently configured as two self-contained levels, offering multiple living options:
- Downstairs features a large separate living room with a gorgeous bay window, two double bedrooms, a galley kitchen, bathroom, and a grand entrance space. It also easily accesses a sunny courtyard and storage shed.
- Upstairs has its own access, with three bedrooms (or two plus an office), separate kitchen and bathroom, and a wonderfully spacious, light-filled living area.
Built circa 1913 and retaining much of its original charm, this home offers excellent flexibility for new owners. Whether you're looking to live across both levels, accommodate extended family, or generate rental income, the layout provides exceptional versatility. It's also ideal for those looking to co-purchase with friends or family. For those seeking a single residence, the original staircase remains in place, making it easy to reconnect the two levels. Home to a multi-generational family who've enjoyed living both together and apart across two self-contained levels, this much-loved property has now become too small for their growing families - and they're ready to pass it on to new owners to start the next chapter.
Thorndon character abounds, with period timbers, a classic staircase, high ceilings, bay windows, and a beautiful cottage garden bursting with summer colour -mostly sheltered from the prevailing winds.
Located within easy walking or biking distance to the city, you can leave the car behind. Commuting is a breeze, with motorway access, Thorndon Village, and the refurbished Thorndon Quay all close by. It's also walking distance or in zone to many top schools.
