Opportunities like this don’t come along often — a home with great bones, a rich history, and endless potential for those with vision.

Built in 1971 and tightly held by one owner ever since, this is your chance to secure a property that’s been cared for, preserved, and is now ready for its next transformation. Completely original throughout, it offers the perfect canvas to renovate, modernise, and truly make your mark.

Constructed from solid concrete brick and native rimu hardwood, the foundations here are undeniable — the kind of craftsmanship that gives renovators confidence. Upstairs, the north-facing living area is designed to capture both winter warmth and summer light, flowing through to a sun-drenched deck. With two separate living spaces and a generous layout throughout, there’s flexibility to reimagine the home to suit modern lifestyles and growing or larger families alike.

Three bedrooms with inbuilt wardrobes, a family bathroom with separate toilet, and a layout that invites creative redesign — the potential here is clear. The spacious configuration also makes it an ideal option for big families needing room to spread out, connect, and create their own spaces.

Downstairs expands the possibilities even further. A double basement garage is complemented by a rumpus room, workshop, and dedicated sewing room — spaces that could be reworked into additional bedrooms, living areas, work-from-home zones, or creative studios. Add in the convenience of a second toilet, generous storage, and a laundry chute, and you have a home that’s already highly functional, with scope to elevate.

Comfort is already considered, with a bluestone fireplace, pellet fire, heat pump, ceiling insulation, and electric hot water — meaning you can live comfortably while planning your upgrades.

Outside, a spacious and practical backyard with an outdoor patio offers room for kids to play, larger family gatherings, enhanced landscaping, extended entertaining areas, or simply enjoying as is.

This is a property that rewards imagination. Whether you choose to move in and update over time, or undertake a full renovation, the potential to add value here is significant.

For buyers who can see beyond the present and into what could be — this is your moment.

Bring your vision. Create something special. Reap the rewards.
