Exceptional property. Exceptional opportunity.
Tucked away down a long driveway on a sprawling 1,685m2 (approx.) section, this substantial 283m2 (approx.) home represents an opportunity that is becoming increasingly difficult to find - especially at this price. With an RV of $940,000 and a heavily reduced asking price of just $830,000+, our highly motivated vendor is ready to see this property sold. For buyers who recognise the value in securing an exceptional home and location, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for. A first impression to remember, the Japanese-inspired sliding entrance doors and fresh, welcoming landscaping create an elegant sense of arrival, hinting at the peaceful sanctuary beyond. Inside, the home is spacious and versatile, with four generous bedrooms on the main level. The master is a true retreat - oversized and luxurious, featuring an ensuite (with a bonus), walk-in wardrobe and additional built-in storage. A newly renovated main bathroom adds contemporary comfort, while two separate living areas, a bar, and a large kitchen and dining space provide plenty of room for family living and entertaining. But what truly sets this property apart is the breathtaking outlook across a tranquil private pond framed by mature trees. Enjoy your morning coffee or evening drink on the tiled balcony, taking in the serenity - or wander down to feed the ducks via your own private access. Downstairs you will find a large double garage, workshop and storage room - ideal for hobbies, projects or simply accommodating the demands of a growing family. Built in 1972 from a combination of concrete block, brick and weatherboard, this substantial home has the bones, scale and setting to reward those with a vision. There is scope to modernise and add your own touches over time, creating a truly exceptional residence without compromising the qualities that money can't easily buy - the land, privacy, outlook and prestigious location. And that is the real opportunity here: in a property and location of this calibre, you can continue to invest and enhance over time, with the potential to create something truly remarkable. Zoned for all the top schools and surrounded by quality homes, this is a rare combination of land, lifestyle, location and potential.

Cute, characterful and full of surprises, this charming 1920s bungalow sits in a fabulous Hokowhitu location and occupies an impressive 1,008m2 section (more or less). Whether you are looking for a character home with room to spread out, a family-friendly section with plenty of possibilities, or a property with future development potential, there is plenty here to get excited about. At the heart of the home is a wonderfully generous open-plan living space. North-facing and filled with natural light, it provides an inviting place to relax, entertain and enjoy the sunshine throughout the day. High stud ceilings and timber features add a wonderful sense of character and space. The separate country-style kitchen is practical and welcoming, with plenty of storage, room for a table and chairs and French doors opening directly to the rear patio. The master bedroom is particularly generous and enjoys its own French doors opening onto the front porch. An adjoining nook provides an exciting opportunity to create an ensuite or walk-in wardrobe, subject to the necessary approvals. A further bedroom and a good-sized room off the kitchen, currently used as an office, provide flexibility for families, guests or working from home. The bathroom includes a bath, shower, toilet and vanity, while a separate laundry at the rear of the home includes a second toilet. Comfort is well catered for with both a heat pump and gas fireplace, while outside there is excellent parking with a double garage and carport. The garage also benefits from a separate hobby or storage room at the rear. And then there is the land. At 1,008m2 (more or less), this is a substantial section for such a central location. There is plenty of space for children, pets, gardens and entertaining, creating a private retreat that is becoming increasingly difficult to find so close to the city. For those with an eye to the future, the size and location of the section may also present development possibilities. Positioned close to the city, Massey University and highly sought after schooling, including Palmerston North Intermediate, College Street Normal School, Palmerston North Boys' High School and Palmerston North Girls' High School, the location is exceptionally convenient. A home with genuine character, a section with genuine scale and a location with genuine appeal - this is an opportunity worth exploring.
