Large Gem On The Make - Go Crazy!

This private 1970s three-bedroom-plus-office home is sited on a massive third of an acre overlooking Helensville proper. The two-level painted concrete block, clinker-brick and tile clad house with sturdy concrete floors on both levels, was originally planned as four bedrooms, two bathrooms and two living areas. It's for sale, and it's a steal because it's midway through renovations to the downstairs ensuite, and upstairs living room (see video link). The flooring is yet to be completed, and the enormous lounge upstairs has had a bedroom walled off with a walk-in wardrobe under construction. The original 1970s kitchen has been partially removed. The owners had thought about putting a bathroom upstairs, so a room has been prepared for that, but there is no plumbing yet, or consent. This home is huge and on a large 1239m² block of land so the potential is huge as well. Downstairs hosts a family room and kitchenette (not consented), master bedroom with ensuite (under construction), plus another bedroom, the main bathroom (renovated and finished) and the office or potential fourth bedroom. There's work to do, including making the electric gate more reliable, and if you want, hooking up in-place solar panels to a battery, but you'd go a long way to find an opportunity of this magnitude with these views anywhere else. If you have skills, all the better. The fireplace upstairs was new in 2015, and two heat pumps downstairs ensures you are toasty. Upstairs, your eye reaches over Helensville and out to the Kaipara across a green sea of leafy trees. Set well off the road, the property has double garaging, as well as a large patio surrounded by easy care lawns and established fruit trees. The owners have enjoyed the space, views, privacy, the bird life and fruit trees, but they've been caught on the hop and need to move. Your turn now. Finish their renovations, return it to original, or go even wilder and further - the canvas is yours, and it will repay handsomely.
