This is entry level buying into this most sought after suburb where families thrive among a harmonious and sociable community. Nothing can come close in this price range, so make a move fast to view the potential here.

A charming 1920s bungalow with bay windows and lead lights has been partially renovated and is certainly comfortable and livable right now with a brand new kitchen, fresh décor, and new carpet.

But on this 514sqm Freehold site it would be perfectly appropriate to continue improvements without fear of over capitalizing. Bathrooms might need upgrading but there are two, and a separate living room complements open plan kitchen, dining and living.

The back yard is securely fenced for children and pets, and a sun-drenched deck is private and sheltered. Favorable school zones have always been a major drawcard in these tightly held streets beginning with Waimairi where, with a role around 400, a family environment prevails. Heaton Intermediate and both CGHS and CBHS are yours as of right. Elmwood and Merivale shopping villages are both within walking distance and of course cycleways take you in and out of the city with ease.

We suspect there may be interest from those looking for an affordable building site, but there is plenty of life left in this roomy home yet. Nevertheless, be encouraged by the increasing value of the underlying land, a safety net for the future!
