Free-Range Eggs?

A large, slightly ramshackle, chicken run in the well-established backyard of this 809sqm section might just add appeal for first home buyers seeking a healthy lifestyle! Certainly this 1950s bungalow is classic 'kiwiana' buying for those with a modest budget. For the last two decades however, it has endured as a lucrative rental property for our sellers who now no longer wish to be landlords. Freshened up after the departure of the last tenants, there is new carpet, fresh décor, a new heat-pump, new spouting and an updated spacious kitchen. Huge garaging and plenty of room for extra cars might be a major attraction for some. The large garden is just waiting for an energized purchaser to enhance and add value. All three bedrooms are good doubles, a bonus for families as well as prospective investors. This is a quiet pocket in the north of our city with a semi-rural feel in a family friendly neighbourhood, but located in a convenient triangle between Northlands, The Palms and Merivale and near the many recreational amenities on offer to the east. This offers a wonderful entry-level opportunity for young buyers or a steady stream of rental income. Our sellers have invested in a full marketing campaign proving they are serious about quitting this and cashing up! We look forward to seeing you at our open homes or alternatively call me for a private viewing. Property ID: #FE7490
