Higgins Road, Frankton, Otago

For renovators, flippers and buyers with the know-how to see beyond the surface, this circa 1918 character bungalow is the kind of project that makes sense.There is work to do, but the right ingredients are already here. The weatherboard exterior, front porch entry, corrugated roofline and traditional bungalow form give the home its character, while inside the high stud ceilings create volume through every room. Native timber floors, wide skirtings, timber architraves, panel doors, exposed timber joinery and coloured glass leadlights all speak to the home's era, giving renovators a genuine base to work with.The layout is simple, practical and easy to understand. Two large double bedrooms sit at the front of the home, both with generous ceiling height and leadlight detail, while the front sunroom adds flexibility as a study, reading space or sitting area. Through the centre, the open plan living and dining area is anchored by native timber flooring and former brick chimney, creating a clear starting point for a future refresh.The air-conditioner keeps the main living space comfortable, while the kitchen still works a charm and gives buyers the option to use the home as is while planning the next stage. A full bathroom with combined laundry completes the floor plan.Outside, the flat lawn, fenced setting and straightforward weatherboard form give renovators further scope to improve street appeal, outdoor living and overall presentation. Whether the plan is to renovate and hold, improve and rent, or restore and resell, this is a property where effort and execution can genuinely shift the outcome.The vendor's instructions are clear: they want the sold sign up. Offered by deadline sale, this is a property that will meet the market and reward buyers who can see the upside.Honest, original and ready for its next chapter, this is a true renovator's opportunity with character, land and motivation behind the sale.
