Harbourview

She's the diamond in the rough, the worst house in the best street, and will appeal to buyers wanting to invest in one of Northland's prime spots, surrounded by some of Wellington's premier homes.

Spanning a generous 521m2 of land area, and offering an ample 170 m2 of floor space, this home provides plenty of room to create a stunning residence or even explore the potential for a lucrative rental income.
