A Classic Ready for Its Next Chapter
Timaru buyers looking for a solid home on a full-sized section will find this gem hard to pass up. Sitting proudly on a 999m² (more or less) section, this 100m² three-bedroom home blends classic 1950s durability with the scope to modernise and make it your own.
Inside, the home has a welcoming feel. The sunny living room is framed by wide windows and warmed by a log burner - the perfect retreat for winter evenings. The kitchen and dining area carry a retro charm that’s practical as-is but also offer a great canvas for renovation. Each of the three bedrooms has good natural light and built-in storage, while the family bathroom, separate toilet, and dedicated laundry round out a layout designed for everyday functionality.
Step outside, and the property really opens up. The near-quarter-acre section is nearly level and well fenced, giving families space for backyard cricket, pets to roam, or for keen gardeners to create something special. A double garage with additional off-street parking makes storage and hobby space easy, while a private back patio offers a quiet spot for outdoor dining or a cuppa in the sun.
The location is equally appealing. Set in the heart of Marchwiel, you’re within walking distance of Grantlea Downs School, local shops, and leafy parks. A short drive takes you into central Timaru for supermarkets, cafes, and the Caroline Bay precinct. For commuters, easy connections to main routes keep travel straightforward.
Whether you’re a first-home buyer ready to step onto the ladder, an investor seeking a reliable rental, or someone looking for a home with space to add value, this is a property with genuine potential.
