If you're a sucker for a before and after story, then this property may be just the challenge you're up for. The highlight of the deal is the 1/2 share in a 900 sqm land size so heaps of room for kids and dogs to scamper about.

What the 60 sqm home lacks in finesse, it more than makes up for in potential. A carpeted open plan lounge has sliders to a small deck and lawns while next door the serviceable kitchen has stainless steel sink bench beside a freestanding range. Two double bedrooms both have built-in closets while a combined bathroom/laundry flanks the kitchen and has a separate toilet. A freestanding carport has a workshop/storage unit to the rear and there's off-street parking on this gated property.

Zoned for James Cook High School, the younger kids can also walk to nearby in-zone Manurewa South School. A swift 5 minutes by car to Bunnings Takanini for upcoming supplies and handy to Manurewa Sports Centre for aquatic facilities and extensive playing fields. Shopping is nearby at Southmall Manurewa and Pak n Save Clendon, or the giant Manukau City Centre is just 10 minutes away by car on SH1. Whether you're doing this up for yourself or tenants to move in, bring your DIY game and get ready to reap the rewards.

Auction: 9:30am, Wednesday 24th May at 411 Remuera Road (will not be sold prior)
