When a home has been "home" for 56 years there's usually something very special about it. From the moment you step inside this wholesome villa, you'll appreciate how and why the owners have cherished it for so long.

For starters, the many advantages of single level living can't be ignored. With just a few steps to navigate from the big front yard, through the wide central hallway, and out to the private backyard; it's surely the perfect environment to raise or start a young family.

With two generous living areas and a cheerful modernised kitchen/family area, the convenience score of this location is a solid 10. The sun-drenched freehold section enjoys an elevated spot near the highest point of this pretty tree-lined avenue. Two Remuera villages, the city, Bays, Hospital and schools are within easy reach.

There is immense potential to reconfigure and extend the existing floor area if you need it. With Mixed Housing Suburban zoning and no restrictive overlays, there is also scope to build one larger or two or more smaller new homes here (subject to council approval).

The time has finally come for the current owners to move to a retirement village. A settlement date in 2025 is preferred, meaning you have plenty of time to collect the funds to pay for this remarkable opportunity.
