Some homes are about what they are today. This one is all about what it could become.

Behind its pretty villa facade, 41 Williamson Avenue is a home with enormous potential, sitting in a location that makes the effort worthwhile. If you've been waiting for a genuine project in one of Auckland's most tightly held city-fringe neighbourhoods, this could be it.

The existing home offers three bedrooms and character bones, but there's no disguising the fact that it needs a little reinvention. What makes it exciting is the opportunity to take a classic Grey Lynn villa and create something exceptional around the way you want to live.

And there's plenty to work with. To the rear, a large north-facing backyard opens up the possibilities for sun-soaked outdoor living, landscaping and a home that connects beautifully with its garden. Renovate, extend or completely rethink the spaces, subject of course to any necessary consents.

Then there's the location.

Ponsonby Road is just a short walk away, putting some of Auckland's best dining, coffee, shopping and nightlife practically on your doorstep. Woolworths is close by for the everyday essentials, Western Park is nearby, and the CBD is within easy reach. It's the kind of location where weekends can be spent almost entirely on foot.

A pretty villa. A big north-facing backyard. An incredible city-fringe location. And the opportunity to make it amazing. 41 Williamson Avenue is ready for its next chapter.
