Positioned on a tree-lined street in tightly held St Albans, this 1910 single-level weatherboard bungalow is offered strictly As Is, Where Is. No sugar coating. No glossy disguise. Just raw, honest opportunity in a location that continues to perform.

KEY FUNDAMENTALS:

• 3-4 bedrooms
• 1-2 living areas
• Kitchen with generous storage
• Bathroom with bath
• Separate laundry
• Separate WC
• Two heat pumps
• 682sqm freehold section with expansive rear yard
• TC3 RS land classification with Character Area Overlay
• Oversized double garage plus off-street parking
• Currently fully insured

Let's be clear:

Yes - floor levels sit outside modern tolerances.
Yes - there is scope to renovate, improve and add value.
Yes - that is exactly where the value lies.

Held by one family for 60 years, this is a rare opportunity to secure a character home of scale and substance in a neighbourhood that continues to prove its appeal. High ceilings, balanced proportions and a flexible layout establish a strong architectural framework - ready for considered refinement. Whether renovating with intent, reconfiguring for modern living, or securing as a strategic hold, the potential here is clear. Opportunities of this calibre in this pocket do not linger.

THE LOCATION (PERMANENTLY DESIRABLE)

Only 3km from the CBD, this address delivers genuine city-fringe convenience - walk, cycle or commute with ease. Edgeware Shopping and Merivale Mall are moments away, along with established hospitality, boutiques and everyday amenities. Zoned for St Albans School, Heaton Intermediate and Mairehau High School, the address carries enduring appeal. Set on a quiet street within a proven suburb, the one element you cannot manufacture is already secured.

THE OPPORTUNITY

This is not a passive purchase, but a calculated one - suited to buyers who understand structure, land and timing, and who move when the numbers align. Currently fully insured and offered with vacant possession, the fundamentals are clear. Projects combining land size, character and genuine upside in St Albans are increasingly scarce - particularly at entry points where value can still be created. Engage your builder, confirm your figures and proceed with confidence. Decisive buyers will recognise exactly what this represents - and act accordingly.
