70 Mclean Street presents an opportunity to purchase your first home and add some value, with your tools and skills. There are opportunities inside and out, to update and refresh over time. Plant the privacy hedge ($60 for six established hedging plants at Mitre 10) to add appeal and privacy, and maximise the external areas you can enjoy.
There is plenty of off-street parking. Perhaps add the garage of your dreams, with a workshop or sleep out.
Similarly, a bit of work here and there, and the property could continue to be a rental investment, with the current tenant in situ.
The simple dwelling sits in the middle of the quarter acre section, so there is potential for pushing out the floor plan and opening up the living areas. The property is located near primary schools, and it is a short stroll to the riverside walkway and cycleway.
The Wairoa region is earmarked for some large-scale Civil works. A rerouting of the Napier Wairoa road to bypass the Waikare Gorge has been given a green light that will make it the most expensive highway reconstruction ever in Hawkes Bay, at a cost of up to $425 million (Hawkes Bay Today 14 Feb, 2025). It is expected that the demand for contractor accommodation will increase.
The property was not affected by the weather events in recent years.
