Auction: 8-12 The Promenade, Takapuna on Thursday 21 May 2026 at 10:00AM (unless sold prior)
Let’s be completely honest: this one is not for the faint-hearted. It’s tired, it’s rundown, and it needs a massive amount of TLC. But if you’ve been searching for the ultimate blank canvas in a premier coastal location, you just struck gold.
Tucked away at the very back of the section for added privacy, this 40m2 unit is the definition of a "worst house, best street" opportunity. It is a complete do-upper crying out for a modern vision, but the rewards at the finish line are absolutely massive.
The "Ugly" (The Opportunity):
- The Layout: A compact 40m2 footprint featuring 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom.
- The Condition: Completely original and heavily worn. From the outdated kitchen and basic bathroom to the tired flooring and peeling walls, you will need to roll up your sleeves and bring your imagination.
- The Project: Rip it out, strip it back, and start fresh. This is your chance to completely redesign a space exactly the way you want it.
The "Beautiful" (The Reward):
- The Views: Why take on the hard work? Just look out the window! Enjoy absolutely stunning, elevated views out to the Hauraki Gulf and the iconic Rangitoto Island.
- The Location: Torbay is highly sought-after for a reason. You are buying into an incredible neighborhood known for its fantastic beaches, great community feel, and laid-back coastal lifestyle.
- The Potential: Positioned as the rear unit, there is excellent scope to create a private, modern, easy-care coastal pad. Looking to secure a foothold in a top-tier North Shore suburb, a seasoned flipper looking for your next project, or an investor wanting to add serious value, this property is a rare find.
Bring your builder, bring your architect, and most importantly, bring your vision. Strictly no casual lookers or time-wasters—this is a major project for serious buyers ready to roll up their sleeves and put in the hard yards.
Don't let this ugly duckling slip away—turn it into Torbay's best-kept secret!
