Property listing ID: 498670
This character bungalow is in need of some TLC! Built in the 1930's, she has stood the test of time and has had an upper level added in the 1980's. However, she has been sadly neglected over the last few decades and now needs your expertise and flair to breathe new life back into her. The wide sunny front verandah leads you into the hallway. Off this are 2 double bedrooms, staircase to above, large separate lounge and at the end, the spacious dining/kitchen area. There are 2 woodburners, 1 located in the lounge and 1 in the dining area. The kitchen is a bit sad but there is so much room to install a bright new one and turn this into a stunning eating/dining area. I can see that this would become the hub of the home. The bathroom area is adjacent with a separate toilet, separate shower room and separate bathroom - again all in need of TLC. Through the back door is another porch area which takes you to the laundry and is an ideal area to hang coats and store the gumboots. Upstairs are 2 double bedrooms, with the one on the west side having lovely views over the rural vista and river. A basement area is below and is a great workshop space or storage area. The level/sloping section is 893m2 and a single garage is located at the front of the property. Located just a few metres from the Helensville Primary School, your children can safely walk home in minutes. If you are looking for a genuine do-up with potential to add value to, then this could be just what you are looking for. Don't hesitate as properties in Helensville are moving fast.
