A Classic Home for Today, Options for Tomorrow

The instructions are clear: this home must be sold.

After two substantial price reductions, this now represents an increasingly rare opportunity to secure a very tidy Ex State home nestled on substantial section in one of Auckland’s tightly held coastal suburbs — at a price point becoming harder and harder to find.

Set on a generous 1047m² (more or less) freehold site, this tidy 1940s weatherboard home offers comfortable living today, with the added advantage of long-term future potential.

Inside, the home provides three bedrooms, practical family living and plenty of space for children, pets and entertaining outdoors.

But it’s the combination of land size, location and future possibilities that makes this property stand apart.

For buyers thinking ahead, there are options here:

• Move in and enjoy the home as it is
• Renovate or extend over time
• Land bank in a premium location
• Profit from future redevelopment possibilities
• The property is currently zoned Mixed Housing Urban, while Proposed Plan Change 120 has identified the area for possible future intensification, subject to the completion of the council process.

But the location will never change.

Positioned along the Orakei ridgeline offering partial harbour views, you’re close to Orakei Basin walkways, Mission Bay, Eastridge Shopping Centre, public transport and motorway access into the CBD. School zoning includes Orakei School, Selwyn College and Baradene College.

Classic older homes in quality locations have always held their appeal. The difference here is the future potential: the vendor will meet the market, creating an opportunity that buyers will recognise immediately.

Call Steve or Rawdon for the information pack.
