With vacant possession available, this ‘lock and leave’ deceased estate would make a fantastic addition to any investment portfolio, although professional couples and those looking to establish themselves on the property ladder will be equally intrigued.This well-loved home boasts two bedrooms and a good-sized bathroom complete with bath and separate shower. The open-plan kitchen/dining area is complemented by a separate lounge; a heat pump promises year-round comfort, and a separate laundry enhances functionality.Although the bones of the home are sturdy there is scope to freshen up the dcor, and astute purchasers will recognise this as a golden opportunity to imbue the property with their own sense of style.Outside, the generous yard with potential to landscape further is a rarity in properties of this type, while double, lock-up garaging and additional off-street parking are added bonuses.Of course, for many it will be the location that’s the star of the show, with the proximity to Merivale and it’s wealth of shops, restaurants and convenient public transport routes underpinning any investment. A bevy of educational facilities, including being zoned for CGHS, CBHS, Heaton Intermediate and Paparoa Street School add further appeal.
