If you have been looking for that giant family home on a budget or wanting to secure your next renovation project/flip - then this property is a must see. Situated on 989m2 of land, this property has plenty of potential and opportunity to add significant value.

With six bedrooms, a study, massive double garage, two bathrooms, three toilets and one of the largest lounges we've ever seen - this property is the perfect starting point for any large families.

Located within a very short walk to trains, buses, parks, the Linden shops and a short drive to all the benefits of Tawa and Kenepuru/Porirua - this location is super handy.

Yes, the property is in need of a bit of a do-up and TLC, but if you like, we can help you with this. Or you can move into it 'as is' and secure your big family home in Tawa on a budget.

The Dream Family Home? YIP!
Welcome to one of Johnsonville's best kept secret: The Dream Family Home. 56 Bould Street blends massive flat and fully fenced section, beautifully renovated, bonus sleep out, double garaging with plenty of off-street parking and smack bang in central Johnsonville!

The owners have invested serious time and care into the entire property. It gives a "lifestyle block" feel but is the entertainers dream. Host the summer BBQ's, lets the pets roam free, host an outdoor movie night, the options here are endless.

Inside, the main home offers four bedrooms, plus a bonus sleepout with its own bathroom attached to the double garage-perfect for long-term guests, a teen wanting their own space, or simply giving everyone a little breathing room.

The renovations throughout are thoughtful and modern. The designer kitchen flows into the living space, anchored by a cosy wood burner for winter. When the sun's out, open the doors to the deck and spa area (spa negotiable), with peaceful views, surrounding trees, and that quiet retreat feeling. And yes-double glazing throughout, because comfort matters.

As a final surprise, tucked underneath the house is an extra room with its own entrance. Call it a man cave, a she shed, a games room, or a quiet spot for a book and a wine-either way, it's your own little hideaway.

Homes like this are hard to come by. Set back from the road down the driveway, it's your private, rural-feeling escape right in central Johnsonville. Come and see why families fall in love with it-call us for a private viewing today!

Positioned a short walk away from everything Miramar has to offer, you'll love the convenience and lifestyle that comes with being in central Miramar.

If you are moving to Wellington from out of area, this property is located close to Weta workshops, Park Road Studios, Wellington Airport and other major employers.

The owners have loved this 1920's classic bungalow for decades, and it is now time to downsize/retire. This sets up the perfect opportunity for the next owner to come in, make this place home and love it for decades more! What I love most about these classic style homes, is the timber charm and stylistic features that remind you of simpler times. With tasteful modernisations, you have the opportunity to add value over time. There is also a small study nook / office space adjacent to the living room. The carport space provides a great enclosed space and the garage is a wonderful size for storage or you could even turn it into a workshop/office.

Oh and if you are Ories fans, you'll be able watch the matches from over the fence!
