Unleash your creative juices on this retro canvas! Perfect for young professional couples, families and empty nesters who are astute enough to discern the property’s potential.

After 70 years this concrete stucco 1940’s home is in need of TLC to reawaken and rejuvenate whilst possibly retaining the retro features which remind us all of our grandparent’s homes!

Sitting proud and elevated in an exclusive Remuera neighbourhood close to many of Auckland’s most sought after schools - a fantastic opportunity to enter the Eastern suburbs market just moments from both Upland Road and Remuera Villages and with easy access to the motorway and Orakei Train Station, Ventnor Reserve, Little Rangitoto Reserve and fine dining at the Maple Room Restaurant.

Accessing the picturesque Orakei Basin Walkway through Crown Lane via Benson Road is a breeze from Ventnor Road and you can grab a coffee on the way past at the very popular Benson Rd Deli. Imagine walking the dog, jogging, cycling or simply spotting the waterskiers practising their moves on the Basin only moments from your front door.

The rear garden and paved courtyard are north facing with raised garden beds and could be re-landscaped to maximise on playing areas for the children. The elevated conservatory is a suntrap most of the day and on into early evening, encouraging alfresco dining in summer and springtime.

The upstairs faces northeast with leafy eyescapes over this pretty neighbourhood from the kitchen and dining room. The sitting room flows into the sunroom/conservatory with a small deck that could be extended. Two bedrooms and a bathroom complete this level and downstairs is a blank canvas with heaps of future potential including turning the double carport into a double garage with internal access. There’s even room for every kiwi bloke’s dream ... a “man cave”! A further two bedrooms, laundry and bathroom are on the ground level awaiting rejuvenation.

Cherished and lovingly maintained in it’s original state for 35 years, the owners are motivated and are downsizing, leaving behind years of very fond memories of a happy, happy past - a bright future full of rewards awaits the new owners. CV $1,060,000.
