25 Grey Street, Shannon, Horowhenua, Manawatu

Where do you find yourself a stand-alone house on a freehold section these days still priced around $300,000's? Usually, the answer would be not many places at all - unless you're willing to scour the country and move to a far away, remote location. But not today.

Today the answer is - in the town of Shannon - where you'll be close to cafes, shops and the local school, and well placed for an easy commute to Levin (15 mins), Linton (20 mins), Palmerston North City (30 minutes) or Wellington CBD (1hr 18min).

Presented to the market in reasonable condition with some fresh paint and new lino, there is plenty to like and plenty of room to improve. The bathroom and kitchen are quite original but totally functional. Providing three bedrooms for the family or friends with nice period native wooden floors throughout. The small living room is easily warmed by the large electric heater, and I have been told by the vendor it is well insulated in the ceiling and has insulation underneath too. To top it off there is also a large laundry area with a second toilet for your convenience.

Offered at a very reasonable price (with enquiries over $319,000), you'll find this home presents as a great opportunity to get into the market as a first home or investment property in a practical location.
