There's something special about a home that has been held by the same family since the day it was built. Constructed in 1964 and now coming to the market for the first time, this solid brick and tile home offers a wonderful opportunity for its next owners to make it their own.

The home is largely original but has been well cared for over the years and provides a great starting point for those keen to modernise at their own pace. The kitchen has already had some updating, with chrome appliances including a nearly new dishwasher, while the rest of the home offers plenty of scope to add your own style and value over time.

Three good-sized bedrooms are complemented by generous living spaces, wide hallways that give the home a lovely sense of space, and a large separate laundry.

Outside, the good-sized flat section provides plenty of room for children and pets, gardens, outdoor entertaining or simply space to enjoy. The garage is another real bonus. Along with secure parking, it includes a workshop and additional rooms, creating plenty of possibilities for hobbies, storage, a home workshop or other uses depending on your needs.

Approximately five minutes north of Upper Hutt CBD, you're close to transport, local schooling and everyday amenities, while Harcourt Park, the duck pond and river walkway are all within an easy stroll, giving you some of Upper Hutt's best recreational spaces almost on your doorstep.

Solid, practical and full of potential, this is the kind of home that has served one family well for more than 60 years and is ready for a new generation to make their mark
