Nestled down a rear section, this unique and desirable property with its large 1,138m2 section is loaded with opportunity. At present it houses a comfortable and spacious 3-bedroom home complete with a separate living room. The opportunity is the substantial 1,138m2 of land with council approved glasshouses full of an abundant garden produce, privately positioned at the rear of the property and currently supplying several restaurants with fresh Basil.

In the house the dining area opens via double glazed French doors to the deck, allowing even more flow and options, with a great visual connection to the garden. The living room is filled with light, thanks to a wonderful West facing window looking out over the lawn and garden. All of the 3-bedrooms have built in wardrobes and are well positioned for the sun plus there is a separate laundry and bathroom. The house is partially renovated and awaiting the new owners' final touches.

Another option is to snap up this amazing purchase with the land being the major asset...with a wealth of options to add value by adding an extra dwelling (Sleepout or Granny Flat) in this sought-after Opawa location. There is a lot of scope for a number of different types of buyers e.g. families, developers or operating a business from the property.

The icing on the cake is the location, with proximity to everything including tranquil river and hill walks, the bustling Opawa Farmers market and a bevy of shops to sought after schools including Opawa Primary, St Marks, Rudolph Steiner and Cashmere High school.

Another remarkable feature of this property is that this is only the second time it has been on the market since being built in 1959 and was virtually untouched in the earthquakes.

Our Vendors have already moved out...indicating their seriousness at selling.
