"HUGE POTENTIAL" - Villa on 1012m

Character, Space & Development Potential in Mangere East

First time on the market after many memorable family years.

Welcome to a home that offers timeless charm and endless possibilities. This classic 1920s Villa sits proudly on an expansive 1012m section, combining original character features with room to grow.

The land size and layout offer exciting possibilities

Why This Property Stands Out

The land is one of its greatest assets. Preliminary townhouse development drawings have been explored (subject to council approval), making this an appealing opportunity for investors or those dreaming big.

This is more than a home - it's a lifestyle. Move in and enjoy its charm, add your personal touch over time, or explore the exciting development potential (preliminary townhouse sketches) available to view, subject to council approval). The choice is yours. This property offers a rare combination of charm, space, and opportunity.

This property will be sold as is.
