Hidden away down a tree lined driveway on over 6,000sqm (more or less) of established grounds sits an architectural diamond in the rough. Designed by renowned Whanganui architect Michael Payne, this once-stunning home is crying out for someone to breathe new life into it.

Yes, she needs work-but what a project!

With almost 300sqm (more or less) of living space, this home offers the size, character and layout that are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Soaring ceilings, huge rooms and an abundance of natural light provide the perfect canvas for an ambitious renovation.

Featuring:

Four bedrooms
Two bathrooms
Spacious family living plus a separate formal lounge
Three additional studies, hobby rooms or work-from-home spaces
Double internal-access garage
Loads of storage throughout

Step outside and you'll discover a private world of mature trees, established gardens and birdsong-all just 4km from the city centre. The expansive grounds provide endless space for family living today, while the property's offers exciting possibilities for tomorrow.

Whether you're a builder, seasoned renovator, investor or someone chasing the satisfaction of transforming an iconic home into something truly spectacular, this is your chance to create serious value.

The location is exceptional. The bones are impressive. The potential is enormous.

Roll up your sleeves, unlock your imagination and turn this hidden treasure into something extraordinary.
