Make the Most of Mixed Housing Suburban
Whichever way the property-buying cards fall, the one that sits on the top of the pack must surely be the Queen of Diamonds for this total gem in heartland Blockhouse Bay. They don't make them like this anymore, so expect this cool weatherboard three-bedroom home on a very desirable 875 sqm (approx.) zoned Mixed Housing Suburban. Developers will see the scope in the section size, zoning and aspect for further development while family buyers may want to polish and modernise to create a gorgeous 21st Century haven.
Elevated and sunny with dazzling views across to the inner waters of the Manukau Harbour, the exterior dwelling is visually a game of two halves. The frontage reflects the home just as it might have looked on the day it was completed in the 1960s while at the rear a series of tiered decking and a substantial internally accessed 5 m x 6.4m storage room have been added on with function edging out aesthetics. Upstairs, time has stood still with a decor that's reminiscent of the 70s when tinted bottle glass glazing and bold wallpapers were all the rage. Ample living areas incorporate a lounge with bright sunroom or office space and dining area all warmed by a built-in fireplace. The kitchen is old-school is ready for a makeover while the three double bedrooms share a sizable bathroom with loo and laundry separate.
The off-street parking is ample and there's a covered carport round the back with the entire section fenced to embrace lawns, established trees and palms (the pool doesn't stay). Pop out the gate and stroll to the end of the road to say hullo to the tides with Gittos Domain popular for kid's play and dogs and there are excellent schools and childcare centres nearby with Lynfield College walking distance. Handy for public transport and motorway ramps too for a 17-minute commute to the CBD.
