Are You Brave Enough?

A tale of two houses, being sold together as one, is a challenge not for the faint hearted! Comprising multiple options, this is an extraordinary opportunity for someone with a visionary eye. Designed in 1980s by the late Alun Wilkie, the buildings are distinctive and solidly constructed from rendered block with substantial basement footings. Joined, and on crosslease titles, but providing separate accommodations, one is a repaired, cute, and very liveable 2 bedroom townhouse with lots of design elements worth conserving. Slate floors, extensive use of rimu in the kitchen and throughout, and balconies overlooking the garden. The second and larger home, around 300sqm, is being sold 'As Is', epitomising the true meaning of the word! Although also filled with remarkable architectural features, this is where you will have to use your imagination. This could well include the use of a bulldozer and excavator! Set on 1561sqm on Huntsbury Hill, views are all encompassing and extend from Pegasus Bay across the city to the Southern Alps. With plenty of flat land, some may see this as a building site to create one or two substantial new properties. Facing north and west and sheltered from the easterly, this enviable location is undoubtedly a microclimate with flourishing fruit trees including feijoa, apple, and citrus, raised vege beds and winding wisteria. Prolific birdlife flits around from the Reserve bordering the south boundary. Five minutes away St Martins New World services the area magnificently along with cafes and restaurants burgeoning all around. The primary school in Albert Terrace is a healthy walk away and Cashmere High School is one of our most preferred. It is apparent our serious sellers are reluctantly discontinuing this project and are not returning. They have made clear their intention to concede and pass this on to another.
