Kilbirnie

Uninsured at the time of the quakes, you can imagine the headache this property has caused for its current owners. Alas, they've made the decision to be done with it - providing astute buyers with the opportunity to secure their position in a desirable location at an entry-level price. The home itself comprises of three accommodating bedrooms, sleep out, modernised kitchen and bathroom - not to mention those prized character features of yesteryear. There's clearly value to be added through repairing, redecorating, and attending to the maintenance which has been deferred since the owners' move north. It's currently comfortable and tenanted (at $490 per week), and you may choose to continue on this basis while you develop your own plans. Perhaps restoration and redecoration - or maybe something more radical? Whatever you choose, you can be sure that the street-facing 506sqm site in such a sought-after locale (Thorrington and Cashmere High zones) underlines your investment here. Our owners are now comfortably settled in the Kapiti Coast - do them a favour and take it off their hands!
