35 St James Street Southbridge, Selwyn District

A property of opportunity, whether you're looking to settle or explore its future potential, 35 St James Street offers a picturesque setting. This boutique cottage, well loved by the current owners, has been maintained and updated to create a comfortable three-bedroom home. The vendor advises it has been insulated, making this the perfect retreat for family weekends.

The opportunity it presents includes a garden where you can grow flowers to take to auction, an opportunity ready to be picked up from where the current vendor leaves it, or take on the already underway subdivision plan that could see you with a nest egg for the future.

Arriving at the property down a well-established street, you will find a white picket fence, established trees, and plantings. The house is positioned perfectly at the end of the section, with a path connecting the street to the covered front entrance.

Upon entering, embrace the family home with an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. A cosy fireplace creates an inviting and warm environment, complemented by a heat pump ideal for quick warmth or air conditioning. This character-filled living space is one to enjoy!

Venturing through the house, you will find the master bedroom, two further bedrooms, and a hallway connecting them all to the bathroom and laundry area. With vast outdoor entertaining areas, you can imagine relaxing or gardening in the backyard while the kids run around!

In close proximity, you will find Southbridge town centre, the community swimming pool, Southbridge Primary School, and the local Playcentre. Its also just a stone throw from the Southbridge Rugby Club, making it an ideal spot for those who enjoy being part of the local community.

Explore the country roads, reserve walks, and enjoy the sights of barnyard animals, a great setting to raise a young family or embrace a relaxed recreational lifestyle.
