Description
If you're looking for more than just a house, 5 Helmsdale Street isn't simply a practical purchase, it's a home that offers warmth, security, and a place where family memories can be made in an established, welcoming neighbourhood. With our vendors ready for their next move, this property is seriously for sale and will be sold at, if not before, auction.
Set on a generous 645sqm section, this three-bedroom property has been thoughtfully refreshed. Extensively renovated inside and out since 2021, including a full bathroom renovation, new kitchen benchtop and sink, fresh internal plaster and paint, new drapes, blinds, LED lighting and switches throughout, a second heat pump, an alarm system and new exterior spouting.
Practical touches like a DVS home ventilation system, a separate single-plus garage, covered rear decking, and full section fencing mean it works just as well for busy families as it does for those wanting to entertain friends or enjoy a quiet evening outdoors.
The garden is a real highlight, offering established greenery that provides both colour and privacy, along with plenty of space for children or pets to play safely. There's room for trampolines, veggie patches and family BBQs, while the apple, plum, feijoa and quince trees add a touch of abundance to the backyard. Quiet and private, the garden is alive with birdsong making it the kind of outdoor space where adults can unwind at the end of the day and children can create lasting memories.
For first-home buyers, it's the ideal place to settle in and create a future of your own. For investors, it's a property with solid updates, easy care, and strong appeal to long-term tenants.
Zoned for Waitakiri Primary School, Avonside Girls' and Shirley Boys' High Schools, with easy access to the Taiora QEII Sport and Recreation Centre, Bottle Lake Forest, the coastline, and the CBD, this practical, well-cared-for home is ready for its next chapter.
