1/14 Downing Street, Hoon Hay, Christchurch, Canterbury

The street name may raise a few eyebrows - but as classy as it may sound this one will benefit from a makeover. Ignore RV and price estimates! Buy for the location, add value, and build equity.

This robust 2-bedroom brick and tile beauty has a generous 101sqm footprint with spacious room sizes and features characteristic of its 1950's era. Rounded wall junctions, twin concrete tubs and stainless benches will appeal to those who appreciate the architecture and fit out of bygone times, but it has been rewired and has a mains pressure water cylinder. The home's kitchen/dining area has views through the trees and across the churchyard to the Port Hills, and both bedrooms' north-western aspect captures the sun at the end of the day.

Affectionately referred to as "Kanuka Cottage" by the current owner, his passion for the outdoors and work as a conservationist is evident in the planting and ground works. The home sits in an enviable ecosystem of native trees and shrubs - most of them planted by the vendor during his 23-year tenure. There is a single garage and two additional on-site parks offering ample storage for vehicles or other belongings.

This family-friendly suburban street is very popular, offering easy access to routes into and around the city, and to the myriad of community amenities in the neighbourhood. Don't delay your plans to view as strong interest is anticipated and this property could sell at any stage. With his sights firmly set on his next purchase the owner is determined to see a SOLD sign at the gate.
