** PLEASE PARK ON TINAKORI ROAD AND WALK UP THE FOOTPATH NEXT TO 253 TINAKORI ROAD FOR ACCESS **
Here’s a rare chance to live in the heart of historic Thorndon in an enchanting cottage in a bush-clad 733sqm* setting that’s just a minutes walk from Tinakori Village’s boutiques and eateries. If picturesque privacy and proximity to Parliament and the waterfront are paramount, this is a sunny, serene haven like no other.
Features include:
- Exceptionally secluded at the end of one of Thorndon’s most historic streets — but on a much larger section than you’d expect, complete with bush tracks through stunning native bush, that could be ripe for development
- Two double-bedrooms, separate living and dining, and a modern bathroom with walk-in shower and underfloor heating — so ideal for professionals who want to live close to the CBD or couples seeking an apartment alternative beyond compare
- Unique heritage, having been architecturally designed in 1958 in aprestigious location bordering historic homes, including Rita Angus Cottage
- Wonderful indoor-outdoor living, where you can spend sunny afternoons on flat lawn (or evenings in the outdoor tub) overlooking traditional villas to the Tinakori Hills while marvelling in a microclimate that’s sublime for growing fruit and vegetables
- Potential to add value at your leisure but most of the hard work’s done, from re-wiring,
re-roofing and re-sanding (of Australian hardwood flooring) to a freshly painted interior, new light fittings, and underground services to the street
- Buyer Enquiry Over $850,000
No wonder this gem of a hideaway has only ever had two owners. Where else could you live immersed in nature this close to the waterfront and Parliament — with the bonus of the Glenverbie Book Exchange on your doorstep? Don’t miss Sunday’s viewing.
