Prime Post Code Plus Potential

Originally built in the 1950s in rendered brick, this elevated 481m2 freehold property zoned Mixed Housing Urban is move-in ready, yet also holds huge promise for astute investor buyers. Subjected to a significant extension in the 1990s, with a sunny orientation and a generous secluded backyard that is tantalisingly flat allowing you to explore the option of a swimming pool, there's room remaining to add further value to this home.

A generous reception hall with light-filled stairwell introduces an attractive neutral interior, polished original timber floors and carpeting anchoring the two-level layout. A large open-plan lounge enjoys all day sun, and stacker-sliders opening out to a private north-facing deck. The spacious dining area has a contemporised fireplace with covered log burner while a DVS system inserts ambient comfort and warmth throughout. An additional heat-pump further ensures toasty warm winters and casual cool summers. The kitchen edges out style for space and has oodles of potential to upgrade.

Two bedrooms on the main floor share a modern tiled bathroom while upstairs the large master bedroom, complete with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, also has a wrap-around deck enjoying elevated views of Bastion Point. Plenty of off-street parking is allocated for you and your visitors with fencing in place to keep kids and pets safe. The back garden is a sanctuary with a partly covered patio area, perfect for entertaining and alfresco dining, and a large backyard bordered by raised garden beds, mature trees and palms.

The beaches of The Bays are just minutes away where coastal cafes, restaurants and boutique precincts are hugely popular. In zone for Orakei School and Selwyn College, handy for supermarket shopping at Eastridge Shopping Centre, and an easy commute to the CBD by car or public transport. This is for those with an eye to the future who recognise the benefits of buying well and adding value. Alternatively, secure this as a rental investment and retain the excellent current tenants.
