Great news for renovators, this property was moved and re-sited 20 years ago. An absolute charmer that deserves a closer look, this property is in a fabulous street down near the marina end of Bayswater Peninsular and the convenience of the ferry to the CBD. Built in the 1940s, the property has not been spoilt, but is tired and in need of rejuvination. Polish the native timber floors under the aged carpet (probably either rimu or matai), and strip back the beautiful native timber doors that have been painted. The home enjoys high ceilings with battens, and the original wallpaper is still on the walls which can be more easily stripped for painting. Built in weatherboard, the boards are still there under the exterior plaster board that currently clads the home. Our elderly owners have lived there for 30 plus years and now conclude it is time to move to more modern premises for easy living, and let somebody else bring this raw gem back to the sparking character home she can be.
Hidden behind a high hedge and tall gates the home is safe and secure and private. The garden is a blank canvass just waiting to be moulded into something special to take advantage of the flow out from the lounge room, the sunshine and the peak of the sea. This really is a property all renovators should take a look at as homes built during this era are well known for their solid and sturdy construction and the beautiful native timbers used back in those days. We don't expect this to last, so put it on your shopping list now to save disappointment.
