2A Nyoli Street, Northcote, Christchurch 8052

Let’s get the negatives out of the way first. I need redecoration throughout, a kitchen and bathroom update and new carpet. But if you have been getting your fill of reality house makeovers on TV, then here is an opportunity to steal their ideas, choose your colours and restyle life back into this original three bedroom home. The revamp needed is mostly interior as the driveway is fine and the garden has established shrubs.

But this property has some pretty good positives too. The pluses are red brick, tile roof, double garage, 506 sq m freehold section and most importantly, location. The golden rule in real estate is “buy in the best street you can afford”, and this house has been sensibly priced. Within walking distance to Northlands Mall is a great place to be, with your every need covered whether it be eating out, movies, shopping or banking. If school or kindy is a consideration, there are plenty to choose from.

The property is perfectly OK to live in now and redecorate as and when finances permit. Make sure you take “before” and “after” photos to remind you how you transformed this home into a smart modern piece of real estate in a very popular suburb.
