Two homes, one title, numerous options – this property has it all, including great location and Hillcrest school zones. Set on a mature 802sqm parcel of land overlooking one of the city’s most biodiverse gullies, the property has proved to be an excellent investment thanks largely to outstanding tenants and the Riverlea location close to local amenities, transport networks, Hammond Park and Te Awa cycle trail. Rented by the same tenants for eight-plus years, the front two-bedroom house has a tenant paying $460 per week and keen to stay on. The tenant of the second, larger house has enjoyed similar long-term occupancy, pays $580 per week rent, and also desires to stay on. Both dwellings will be Healthy Homes compliant prior to settlement and present a sure-fire investment for landlords. Other options include owner and occupier - live in one and rent the other; an income stream through Airbnb; or multi-generational living. There is also scope to upgrade and add value. Guests feel immediately welcomed into the larger Colonial-like home at the back which has a sunny disposition, the comfort of HRV, panel heating and a fireplace, leafy aesthetics and a gully outlook. Ranchsliders open the living room to the scenic rear deck and the dining room has doors onto a patio. The huge, sun-kissed main bedroom spills onto the private deck backdropped by the gully, and the remaining bedrooms are restful retreats. All are serviced by a bathroom on a tiled floor and a separate toilet. A laundry, a new hot water cylinder, veggie gardens and a single garage round things off. The front home delivers open plan living and dining, with a wooden slider opening to a very tidy kitchen. A big, bright double bedroom, a single bedroom, bathroom, toilet and separate laundry complete the floorplan. The home has carport parking and external storage.
