This is a truly outstanding location on the lower slopes of arguably our most favoured hill and a rare opportunity to secure such a position at an affordable entry level value. Architect Paul Pascoe was himself living in Sumner in his iconic house in Colenso St, when he designed this fabulous hill house in 1968. In the same family since inception, and still almost entirely original, we see huge potential for modernization here. Now an Estate Realization, this is offered to the market for the first time ever.
Positioned below the road, with gentle drive-on access to garaging and extra parking, views are quite spectacular from almost every room and outdoor space. There is a virtually uninterrupted line of sight from Sumner beach and village happenings to the city and mountains beyond.
Set on 741sqm, the terraced garden has been much cherished over the years with steps, paths, and terracotta pots all still in place and plenty of exotic plantings. It is poised for your personal touch, a task easily accomplished by a green fingered new owner!
Accommodation inside and out would clearly benefit from upgrading but the home is liveable and fully insured. Two living rooms, kitchen and one bedroom and bathroom are situated on the entrance level, and a further two bedrooms and a bathroom are on the lower level. Despite the ample potential for improvement, the situation is irreplaceable and there is that almost flat access, garaging and parking! This is a most sought-after locality, a short stroll down the hill takes you into vibrant Sumner Village, prospering as never before. Despite exuberant growth, this remains an intimate and welcoming community. If you yearn for the sun-soaked aspect and absorbing, ever-changing views of this stellar spot, then we urge your inspection. The Trustees of the Estate have given us clear instructions that the property must be sold!
