This grand 5 bedroom character villa has it all - like the fancy ornate fretwork, two detailed fireplaces, huge bedrooms, high ceilings and unpolished native floors, just awaiting to be exposed. But with this elevation there's also a real opportunity to excavate underneath and to create probably four car garaging with internal access.
Are you looking for a challenge- We have massive potential here with this unique property to add tremendous value. You could very quickly and easily turn this "grand old lady" into a masterpiece, just like the amazing adjoining neighbours have done on either side. We all know that opportunities like this are extremely rare and hard to find ... so bring your architect and builders and you can "live the dream". From the street it might look perhaps a little rough and tired with its current appearance, but be assured the bones are great and this could be one of the best homes in the Grey Lynn/Ponsonby area. The real bonus has to be that it's only a short stroll to culinary delights at Ponsonby Central, the West Lynn and Richmond Road trendy cafes, boutiques, popular restaurants, and it's in zone for all the good schools and a short scooter ride to all the action.
This solid turn of the century home is literally oozing with opportunity with the flat level section, so easy to provide a seamless living flow to the lawn and garden, maybe even a pool for the all your family to enjoy. After over 50 years of ownership it's now seriously for sale ... a once in a lifetime project for the clever developers, competent builders and visionaries who have the aspirational dreams and the energy to take this onto the next level. Come along and smell the Roses at 101 Rose Road, as it might be a thorn in your side if you miss out!
Auction: 6.30pm on Wed 27th Nov, in rooms, 53 Ponsonby Rd (unless sold prior)
