Description
Rarely do we see a property that offers such a unique "blank canvas" appeal in a prime location. Situated on a generous 860sqm section, this property bridges the gap between residential comfort and commercial utility.
While the 160sqm character home has seen better days, the bones of a great opportunity are right here for the visionary buyer. Whether you are looking to restore, repurpose, or start fresh, the potential for value-add here is immense. In its recent past it has been separate residential flats and a successful Tax Advisory business.
The Breakdown
- The Land: A flat, spacious 860sqm site with excellent street profile.
- The Status: Residentially zoned with a highly coveted commercial use category, offering a versatile range of future possibilities.
- The Structure: A 160sqm footprint ready for a complete overhaul or removal.
- A True "Renovator's Special".
We aren't sugar-coating it - this building needs TLC. It is being sold in "as-is, where-is" condition, and buyers should come prepared for a project. Known issues include:
- Roofing: Active leaks requiring immediate attention.
- Plumbing: A broken pipe under the floorboards.
- Foundation: Requires investigation.
Why Buy Here? Location is everything. Positioned on Southampton Street West, you benefit from high visibility for potential business use while maintaining the heart of a residential zone. This is a "land bank" dream or a developer's next win.
Auction Details: *Date: 13th February at 12:00PM *Location: Property Brokers, Hastings (306 Saint Aubyn Street West).
