If you've been waiting for a genuine do-up where the hard work could be well worth it, this is the one.
Set on an elevated 837sqm freehold site in a sought-after Red Beach street, this 1960s home is being sold well below its CV and presents an exceptional opportunity for tradies, renovators and capable DIYers looking to unlock some serious potential.
Make no mistake, the home needs a full makeover. But underneath it all is approximately 150sqm of character, with three bedrooms, one bathroom, a step-down lounge, kitchen and living areas, plus a small deck capturing the sun and elevated outlook. And while the house itself needs work, some things are already fixed: the position, the land and those beautiful sea views across the green space of Glenelg Reserve, which leads you down to the private little pocket of Whale Cove.
Outside, there is good usable yard space, privacy and plenty of room to work with, while a single garage and additional storage room add further practicality.
The location is a major part of the opportunity. You're close to motorway access, Silverdale's retail and amenities, Orewa's shopping and dining hub, and spoilt for choice with multiple beaches nearby. With Penlink entering just up the road, this part of Red Beach is also set to become even better connected.
This is the classic worst house in a good street scenario, with properties seldom coming up for sale in this tightly held pocket of Red Beach.
Bring your tools, your ideas and your energy. For someone prepared to take on the work, 18 Glenelg Place could be the one for future gains.
