Cute as a Button

Tucked away in a handy location, walking distance to the CBD, is this two bedroom cutie set on a lovely 462 sqm section. Those looking for a first step onto the property ladder or an opportunity to add value through renovation will love the options this house and section provide. The classic features of its 1940s heritage have been carefully maintained; inside polished wooden floors greet you, there's a lovely pedestal sink in the bathroom, an original fireplace in the lounge and a sunny north facing kitchen and dining room. The home has been well maintained and is in very tidy condition; with the current owners adding a new gas heating system to keep you cosy and warm in the winter months. Plus the back veranda is a great spot to relax during the summer while you watch the kids or animals play on the rear lawn. With a slightly sloping section the storage underneath the house is ample and could be further developed should you desire.

Currently rented at $300 per week, investors will love the simplicity of adding this little cutie to their portfolio. With many houses in neighbouring streets being renovated into pretty family homes, the area has a pleasing sense of character and history. It's close proximity to the city, arterial routes, Lake Rotoroa and facilities such as the Gallagher hockey turf and Seddon Park all equate to a prime offering for those with their finger on the property pulse.
