160 Barrack Road, Mount Wellington, Auckland, 1060, New Zealand

It’s all about potential with this 1950s home in a handy location, waiting for you to bring your DIY skills to take it to the next level.

All the ingredients are here to create a brilliant residence, starting with this classic home on sunny level grounds. Forget long commutes from the outskirts of Auckland – this address is only 15 to 20 minutes’ drive from the CBD off-peak and walking distance from Sylvia Park’s brilliant shopping and dining options. The home was re-roofed a few years ago and has original native timber floors. These are showcased in the sunny front lounge with heat-pump and in the good-sized, largely original kitchen behind it. On the other side of the hallway are two double bedrooms. There’s a bathroom and separate toilet, plus laundry and study at the rear of the home. Relax on the sun-drenched rear deck enjoying the privacy while contemplating how you’ll evolve the near-level grounds. There’s plenty of storage space for your DIY tools as the oversized single garage has a workshop-storage space to its rear and there’s under-house storage space as well. There’s space to park another one or two cars in the driveway fronting the basement garage. This address is zoned for Bailey Road School and One Tree Hill College.
