76 Jack Paterson Road, Drury, Papakura, Auckland

Excellently positioned in a rapid growth area close to the motorway, the new Drury Train Station and the upcoming Drury metropolitan centre, a new community featuring high quality retail and residential precincts, this picturesque property on 5.9 hectares (14.7 acres) offers the astute purchaser the opportunity to acquire a solid investment. Currently zoned future urban, and falling in an area with a proposed zone change, this flat to gently contoured land has potential for investors wanting to be a part of the future of this area. Our vendors are motivated to meet the market.

Making an elegant statement on the property, a delightful spacious weatherboard villa with ornate ceilings, doors and windows, timber flooring and verandahs oozes all the charm and charisma you would expect from a 100+ year old character home. A driveway leads to the entry foyer and central period hallway with the light-filled open plan kitchen and dining, semi-separate living room and adjoining family lounge with built-in fireplace and mantle. A small multi-use room with double doors to the deck currently serves as a gym and there’s an adjacent bathroom. French doors spill out from both dining and the living room to the scenic three sided verandah and entertaining overlooking the park-like grounds and gardens. To the opposite side of the hallway, a front bedroom currently used as an office, has built-in bookcases. Alongside, there’s a bedroom with built-in wardrobe and the master bedroom with built-in wardrobes, sunny window seat and ensuite bathroom. Another multi-purpose room here could comfortably serve as another bedroom if required or a study, home office or rumpus room.

Outdoors a large 2 storey lock-up garage accommodates vehicles, the laundry and bathroom on the ground floor. Upstairs there’s two multi-use rooms for accommodating extra guests or extended family. This graceful grand dame does require some refurbishment to restore her to her rightful status however good bones and attractive architecture make this well worthwhile should the new owner choose this path. To whatever end, however, this property is superbly positioned to reap the rewards of its enviable location and packed with possibilities. Our vendors are committed elsewhere and want to sell without delay. We have been instructed to present all offers and look forward to your early inspection of this potential plus property.
