More Than Meets the Eye
'Alandale' is a large property full of potential - and so well hidden you would never know it's there!
Set amid 1.32 hectares of park-like grounds comprising three small paddocks, a quaint pond, sheds, large lockable workshop and a delightfully sheltered alfresco entertaining area, this is a generous, double glazed family-sized home that's begging for completion of it's attractive refit.
The spacious floor-plan offers three double-bedrooms, a sleek bathroom, a separate toilet, a laundry with linen 'chute', a generous lounge with a log burner and heat-pump; a dining area and a modern kitchen, all located on the first floor. This configuration provides a view across the grounds to the Western Ranges from both the indoors and the wrap-around balcony. On the ground floor there's a garage, 'sports' bar'/rumpus with a TV point, a utility room and a further toilet outside. Party to your heart's content down here, while preserving the peace of those upstairs.
The access from the High Street is via an attractive curbed gravelled drive providing distance from the street, creating a delightfully private spot, so if you simply want to revamp the home to your taste, graze the children's pony and store all your vehicles and toys there's plenty of space to do just that. The house is well maintained and sunny so you can live awhile and soak in the beauty before deciding on making any desired changes.
However, what sets this apart from other properties in the area is that it has dual zoning; the home and other improvements actually sit on the light industrial zone area - with the remainder being residential zoning. Live comfortably, run your business, subdivide (with consent) and help an adult child into their first home by building another dwelling.
Close to the CBD and with easy access to schools, shops and the highway for a straightforward commute to Richmond, Nelson and the airport, this must be one of the most versatile properties in the region.
