Nestled in the heart of Taupaki, Auckland - Rodney, 32 Taupaki Road is a unique residential dwelling that boasts a rich history and immense potential. This freehold property spans over a generous land area of 1012m2 and features a floor area of 201m2. Comprising three bedrooms, the house is constructed with wood walls and an iron roof, reflecting its age since 1900. Despite the poor condition of the walls and the fair condition of the roof, its level contour presents a solid foundation for restoration. Originally serving as the general store and post office, this property still houses a solid concrete safe and a phone booth, adding to its charm and historical value.
Over the years, the capital value of this property has seen a significant increase, from $990,000 in July 2017 to $1,225,000 in June 2021, marking a 23.74% growth. The latest HouGarden AVM estimates its value at $1,175,000. Despite its last sale at $450,000 on December 19, 2023, its unique features and potential for transformation make it a noteworthy investment. The property is sold on an "as is where is" basis, with a LIM report available for prospective buyers.
Education is well catered for, with Taupaki School (Full Primary, decile 9), Massey High School (Secondary Year 9-15, decile 4), and St Paul's School (Massey) (Contributing, decile 4) in close proximity. This property not only offers a chance to own a piece of Taupaki history but also the opportunity to bring to life a vision of a home that is far from ordinary, subject to Council approval.
