27 The Crest Sunnyhills, Manukau City

Solidly constructed and stacked with potential, this original yet neatly presented 1960s property provides the perfect framework for a family home and will attract buyers looking to tackle a renovation project in Sunnyhills.

Situated upon a 670sqm site, purchasers could explore the opportunity of development, but it's anticipated this home will undergo a dramatic overhaul and become a modernised family residence.

Certain drawcards of this property are its north-facing orientation and elevated glimpses of the ocean, while traditional allure comes in the form of ornamental cornices, which could easily be retained during renovations to create an interior that promotes contemporary character.

The home's footprint is sizeable, covering 250sqm across two levels. The top floor is dedicated to everyday living and accommodation, featuring an original kitchen within the free-flowing dining area and lounge. This floor also includes three double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes which are supported by the family bathroom and a separate toilet.

A versatile and vast rumpus room with outdoor access acts as a fourth bedroom on the ground floor and this specific space showcases immense opportunity, as buyers could reconfigure the area to include a second bathroom.

A laundry, a second toilet and an internal access double garage with a workshop round out the layout, while a well-fenced backyard completes the appeal outdoors.

Located near in-zone Sunnyhills Primary and Farm Cove Intermediate, it's also close to St Kentigern College, which ensures you have public and private options in the vicinity. Proximity to bus stops and the popular Rotary Walkway is another bonus, while the wealth of amenities and eateries in Howick Village, Botany and the Half Moon Bay Marina are also a short drive away.

Offered to the market for the first time since 2003, this long-held classic won't linger long.
