About this property
As is Project..... Affectionately known as Rose Cottage, this home proves that first impressions do not get the final word. With some work done and currently insured, this cottage is ready for the next owner to continue improvements and unlock its full potential. Exposed timber architraves cut a raw, character-leaning line through the interior, standing in sharp contrast to the crisp white palette, clean-lined finish and modern detailing that now define the decor. The kitchen claims its own domain before opening to the open-plan dining and sitting room, while double doors draw the lounge into the layout, bringing added flexibility to the floor plan. A well-appointed bathroom complements three bedrooms, while a heat pump and gas hot water keep comfort consistent. The opportunity now shifts outside, where the grounds leave clear scope to sharpen the street appeal and create an outdoor setting that runs naturally off the kitchen. Positioned between the city and the Port Hills, with Beckenham Village and The Colombo minutes away, Rose Cottage offers immense appeal through its combination of character, comfort and clear-cut potential. With the owner out of town and fully committed to a sale, this property must be sold.
