Great Do Up Opportunity in Forrest Hill

The minute I walked down the drive and across the flagstones I knew I was about to see another classic do up opportunity in the heart of
Forrest Hill.

Why do so many families want to live here? Well it’s pretty simple. This is a family friendly affordable suburb, with local schools only a few minutes walk or cycle away. Westlake zone homes are always sought after, not just because of Westlake Boy’s and Girl’s High being so close but also Carmel and Rosmini Schools. And 221 Forrest Hill Road is you classic kiwi home. Privately positioned down a right of way, on a large 900m2 flat site this is a perfect family home for those who want their children in these great schools!

Definitely in need of an update, the bricks, tiles, and construction standards of the 1970’s mean you can’t go wrong. There are 3 bedrooms, a huge double garage, and rumpus room on a separate level just wating for a bunch of teenagers or extended family. The rumpus has a kitchenette for convenience. It’s all a little utilitarian, but with your flair and design sense you can transform this home into a modern gem.

Double garage, with views to the city give this home “good bones”, underlying value and oportunity just waiting to be realised. Call me!

Entry to Private and Secluded Home

Every day we see many homes and all have features that, as a real estate agent, I can make the best of. But the reality is that many homes are not that different from the last so it is a relief when you find a home that’s different, yet completely livable and in a superb location. It’s a bit like finding a silver peso in a piece of plum pudding-you get so excited about the home that you forget, for a moment, that you are in a quiet suburban cul-de-sac only moments from Milford Village and Beach.

As you approach and enter through wrought iron gates to a wide atrium you know that you’ve arrived in a private home, somewhere where you can express yourself without having to be concerned what anyone else is thinking. Somewhere you can relax naked in the spa in the sun-drenched courtyard with only birds for company. Somewhere where your family can feel safe and secure with barely a care for  the modern world which is only moments away if you need it.

It’s a true seventies classic, with a Spanish feel, chic, stylish and generously proportioned. Plastered masonry construction and aluminium joinery provide the peace of mind so rarely achieved with modern low cost building standards. But DVS, heat pumps and warm fire provide healthy, flexible living, in several large living spaces complemented by vaulted ceilings.There’s space to work from home, entertain guests indoors and out and room to accommodate your growing family. The fourth bedroom could accommodate friends, family or an independent teenager, or be your work from home solution.

The owners came to me asking that the property be sold by Christmas as they wish to explore new options. While they are committed to the auction, if you come early and make an offer they would certainly sell early if you wish! Settlement terms are flexible, either before the holiday season or perhaps well into the New Year.Why not call me or visit the property website here for open homes and auciton times.

This lovely home is situated at 8 Prestige Place, Milford. Auction is on 11 November at 6.0pm. For open homes and more information visit the property website here.

Highly Desirable Family Home | Milford | Auction

First Time on the market for 21 years – If you are looking for an immaculate contemporary residence with all day sun, where all you have to do is move in and enjoy, then this is [Read more →]

We’ve all got many regrets in life. It’s easy to look back and say “what if?”. We all know people who seem to be reaping the benefits of a decision made many years ago…

Here’s a tale of two people….Some years ago I met a gentleman who had immigrated to New Zealand in the early 60’s and proceeded to buy 40 acres of land at Limeburners Bay in Hobsonville. His family and friends thought he was mad, it was remote and hard to get to, but he kept it and as the years went by Auckland crept out to Hobsonville and beyond. His family now reap the rewards, each year they sell a section or two and live on the proceeds. I helped him sell some of his property a more relaxed person I have never met.
Another elderly couple I know also immigrated to New Zealand in the late 50’s. They went to live in South Waikato, and after a while had saved enough to think about buying a house. At the time they went off to a sleepy place called Mt Maunganui. Looked seriously at buying some land and building a home. They procrastinated and in the end decided that no one would want to live amongst the sand dunes. Now, of course, it’s some of the most valuable real estate in the country.
