26 Kowai Street, Leithfield, Hurunui, Canterbury, 7481, New Zealand

This one is for the first home buyers, DIYers, builders, handy-men and handy-ladies.

Nestled in the lovely beachside town of Leithfield, just 40 minutes north of Christchurch, this 100sqm home quietly awaits a new owner.

With three bedrooms, a spacious lounge and dining area looking out across the backyard, this home has been a haven to it’s owners over the years. There’s no denying though that through the course of time and with little maintenance in recent years, that this home is now needing someone to come in and show it some time, love and attention to restore its shine.

Are you that person?

While the home is certainly inhabitable and weatherproof, with some immediate attention needed in some key areas, including the roof, and the property now vacant with no further maintenance planned, it is being sold ‘as-is’ to the buyer who can see the opportunity this property represents.

Set on a 620sqm site, just a 5 minute walk to Leithfield beach, the back garden looks out over a rural aspect, while the creek to the left of the property adds to the feeling of peace and privacy.

Alongside the main dwelling a tidy and very functional garage with workshop bench space and separate off street parking provides a practical space for those who like to tinker or as safe housing for your vehicle.

With both the quiet and peaceful setting of a small town, and all the necessary amenities close at hand in Amberley, the location of this property is truly the best of both worlds.

Fortune favours the bold and, with vendors who absolutely must let this one go, this is an opportunity to secure an affordable property with plenty of potential.
