Auction: 8-12 The Promenade, Takapuna on Wednesday 18 March 2026 at 9:30AM (unless sold prior)

Some buyers will see this property as a diamond in the very rough; others will bring the bulldozer, an architect, a vision and maybe a priest.

Let's be real - this home has seen better days. It's original, it's tired, and it's currently screaming for a miracle or a very good builder. But behind the peeling paint and the "vintage" grime lies a rock-solid opportunity.

This property is a brave renovator's dream canvas. The kitchen has been damaged (it is not in existence). The floor on the first level is gone. There is one bathroom with a separate toilet, the floor plan is ripe for a modern footprint. Alternatively, remove the house and start from scratch.

On the plus side, it is sitting on a generous 714sqm (more or less) sun-drenched, north-facing section with mature trees providing a canopy of privacy that you can't buy at a garden centre. It features three spacious double bedrooms.

The location is the real holy grail. You are minutes from the motorway and Park and Ride, making the commute a breeze, also a short drive to schools and shops. If you are not afraid of a little (okay, a lot) of hard work, this is the one that you have been waiting for.

Roll up your sleeves and reap the rewards. This property is being sold as is, where is, and must be sold. Come to the auction you probably get a pleasant surprise.
