22 Queenstown Road Hillsborough, Auckland City

Auction: Thursday 4th June at 6:00pm (unless sold prior) In Rooms, Level 1, 416 Broadway, Epsom,

Wrapped in weatherboard, this mid century classic reflects back to Post-War 1950s where polished native timber floors were the convention, adventurous wallpapers told a story and the back garden was almost a mini lifestyle block. This time-capsule property - a deceased estate - is the quintessential Kiwi home of a bygone era and is now ready for a new plan. Covering a generous 657m of freehold land and zoned Mixed Housing Suburban under the Unitary Plan, the property has a raft of possibilities.

The sunny 86m weatherboard dwelling of two bedrooms is centred on a flat to sloping site with a separate single garage with workshop and two off street car parks. The home's interior is a bit of a stroll down memory lane - dated but the newly polished Matai floors are stunning and the potential is clear. Options to renovate immediately to a dazzling modern-day gloss, build on and increase the floor plan, or demolish for development - all are compelling considerations in this pivotal location near to SH20.

In an excellent but sheltered seaside position close to Onehunga Bay Reserve and surrounding bays for multiple recreation options. Motorways and public transport to the city and the airport are close by. Fantastic local amenities, easy commute location and zoning for Hillsborough School just add to the drawcards that are mounting up here.

Let the legacy continue and create your new home, on your terms. Act fast, this won't last!
