Brace yourself for a gritty redevelopment project in the heart of Aro Valley. This one-bedroom cottage, untouched since 1988, is a wreck screaming for a bold visionary to gut it or start fresh. Perched high with killer views, it’s steps from village vibes and a short jaunt to the CBD. Here’s the Lowedown:

• The cottage (if we can call it that: more of a teardown shack at this point) has open-plan living/dining, one double-bedroom, and a rough bathroom
• Jaw-dropping green belt vistas across Polhill Gully and Waimapihi Reserve
• Amazing summer sunshine until late
• Total privacy and amazing birdlife
• A crumbling canvas begging for a total overhaul to craft a modern gem in a secluded yet urban spot
• 660sqm^ lot ripe for medium-density redevelopment (do your home-work)
• Aro Village Lifestyle—think top-notch eateries, bakery, craft brews, and that quirky video store
• Space to provide drive on, car deck etc (subject to any necessary council approval)
• Offers invited upwards of $245,000—bring your courage and cash

This isn’t a cosy fixer-upper; it’s a hardcore rebuild challenge in one of Wellington's most vibrant communities right by the CBD. However, at this price point we challenge anyone to find a better opportunity. Only the fearless need apply! (Source: Corelogic ^)
