This two-bedroom West End unit offers 67m² of floor area and plenty of potential for builders, handy buyers or anyone keen to take on a proper renovation. Affordable and positioned at the back beside other units, it is a chance to start with what is here and reshape it to suit.

The living room has good natural light, a raked ceiling and exposed timber beam, but the interiors are ready for a serious refresh. You will likely want to lift the carpet and flooring and rethink the finishes throughout. The kitchen is another obvious project, with scope for a full strip-out and replacement rather than working around someone else’s recent renovation.

Both bedrooms sit off the hallway and provide straightforward footprints to work with. The bathroom is similarly ready for attention and buyers may choose to strip it back and start again. A dedicated laundry adds everyday usefulness, while the simple layout makes it easy to see where your renovation effort could have the greatest impact.

Outside, there is a modest lawn area, an enclosed carport and separate storage, giving you useful extras beyond the 67m² interior. Body corporate fees are $2,400 per year and according to the agent this includes rates and insurance, an important figure to factor into your plans from the outset.

West End keeps you within easy reach of Victoria Esplanade, the Lido Aquatic Centre, Palmerston North’s central city and Massey University. Renovate and rent it out, create an affordable step onto the property ladder, or turn it into a compact, lower-maintenance home for your next chapter. If you are prepared to put the work in and can see what this place could become, Mark Davis would be pleased to show you through.
