Presenting a real rarity - an original 1910s villa on a prime site on the corner of Hawthorne St and Watford St in a very sought-after location!

Do you have the vision to return this diamond in the rough back to its former glory? Or do you see the perfect spot to build your dream home or potentially subdivide? With excellent zoned schools and shops and bars within walking distance, whichever way you look at this property, opportunities are aplenty.

Set back from the road on an exceptionally private 809m2 section (TC2), this original weatherboard villa stands proud on its sunny, north-west facing section. Inside and leading off the once-grand hallway, there are three double bedrooms, an original family bathroom, plus a separate kitchen and separate formal lounge. High ceilings, original fireplaces and ornate detailing hark back to this property's exquisite heritage, which is absolute gold dust if you're looking to restore it to its former glory - while a heatpump adds to the appeal.

Outside, the tidy grounds are flat and easily accessed, and full fencing and beautiful bushy greenery border the property, providing a very private blank canvas to create your ideal outdoor oasis. The veranda is a wonderful spot to while away the hours, while a single off-street garage and two off-street parking spaces complete the offering.

Brilliantly located for boutique shops including Elmwood Village & Merivale Mall, cafes and public transport links, this property also enjoys excellent school zoning, including CGHS, CBHS, Heaton Intermediate and Waimairi Primary and a short stroll to St Andrews College - adding security to this very appealing investment.

Offering sunshine and space in a desirable corner of the city, opportunities like this are as rare as hen's teeth. The question is, will you give this old soul a new lease for life? Or do you see a chance to revive the site with a vision of your own? Call today to see it for yourself. Property ID: #PI58242
