70's Ponsonby home for sale once owned by former All Black Olo Brown
AI summary
A rare 1970s architectural home at 86 Islington St, Ponsonby, once owned by former All Black Olo Brown, is now for sale. Described as "rare as hen's teeth," the fully renovated four-bedroom house features a distinctive creeping fig exterior and two off-street parks.
A key advantage is its lack of heritage protection, offering future redevelopment potential not available with neighbouring villas. Marketed by Ray White, the unique property is expected to attract young professional buyers.
