Half-glass full buyers will see the chance of a great value buy with this striking architect-designed home on lovely Nile Street plus an adjoining cottage for extended family, or potential income.

Changed circumstances mean this two-for-one property must be sold, giving canny buyers a terrific opportunity to swoop and profit.

The downside? The 223sqm family home needs code compliance.

The upside? Just count the ways!

Firstly, the home is a one-of-a-kind stunner with its curved roof lines, 4.5-metre-high family room ceiling and spectacular glazing which brings light flooding, giving views to the outdoor greenery.

Second is the walk-to-town location in tree-lined Nile Street. The backyard of the approx. 718sqm section backs on to its own aquatic playground of the beautiful Maitai River.

Make the most of summer with your river swimming hole, accessible off the deck and down the stepped garden path or launch the kayak for a river paddle.

And the third major plus is the adjoining cottage at the front with its own title. It's ideal for family members, in-laws or visitors, or potential rental income (current long-term tenants are keen to remain)

Each property has a separate title but must be sold together as 190A currently has no separate access.

The cottage has an approx. 154sqm section, a single garage and workshop area below, double and single bedrooms, open plan living, bathroom, laundry, and separate toilet.

The family home is impressive from the moment you step inside and see its distinctive architectural appeal. A wide, glass-sided gallery leads to the living rooms, with its high, curved ceiling lines and the flood of light from all the windows and glass doors.

Open-plan living includes a large lounge with bi-fold doors at either end, opening the house to the sun-drenched north-facing garden patio or the charm of the rear riverside deck.

If convenience, privacy, and peaceful living close to town appeals, with a lovely family home and a separate cottage, this is your chance for a big value buy.
