Description
Tenants have moved on. The mortgage won't wait. This one's going to auction - and it needs a new owner.

Architecturally designed by Trengrove & Marshall, this mid century classic sits on the ground floor with a sun-soaked northwest aspect. Single-level living with just two steps from the footpath makes access easy.
Whether you're buying your first home, downsizing with space to garden, or eyeing up a tidy town base, this one stacks up.
You're two minutes from Merivale Village. Brunch at Bridgette's, dinner at Aikmans, coffee on the go - it's all right there. Public transport is close, and the city's just a straight run in.
The updates are done:
- Fresh paint and new flooring (2024)
- Bathroom, toilet, heat pump, washer and dryer all replaced (2024)
- New Hot water cylinder (2025)
- Fibre connected
- Great wardrobe storage
- Private garden and courtyard
- One shared car park
Desirable location. Solid bones. Serious motivation. Auction day is the deadline - but the owners will sell sooner. The home is vacant and private viewings welcome over Christmas & New Year break. Don't wait, as my owners can't.
Auction | Wednesday 14 January 2026 from 10:00am (unless sold prior), Holmwood Auction Rooms, 397 Ilam Road
