Afford it, improve it and profit

Sold under the hammer

This 1940s weatherboard three bedroom doer-upper is built with solid timber of the era. Good news too - someone has already gone to the trouble of retrofitting aluminium windows throughout and updating the bathroom, heating and ventilation. The back garden is huge and already has the veggie patch. Simply install a gate in the backyard to access the adventures of cycling / walking around the Heathcote River and Radley Park.

The layout works well with a north-facing living area, a kitchen positioned for morning sun and a separate laundry. There is access to a large backyard for the kids to play or you can enjoy views over the river to the port hills, giving you a private and expansive feel. There is also plenty of off-street car parking plus a double garage. With some finishing and decorating, this home could be comfortably liveable while you spruce up the exterior. The property was an EQC managed repair and is currently fully insured, needing some TLC to enhance what was once a loved family home.

This area has gained popularity with the developments at the Tannery and around the river. The house sits on 680sqm of TC3 land zoned Residential Suburban and backs onto Radley Park. It is a great location and sits midway between Sumner beach and the CBD.

- Three double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes

- Zoned Residential Surburban TC3
- Double garage
- Managed EQC repair
- Close to Woolston shops, The Tannery and Heathcote River cycleways
