Riverfront landmark
Once a cornerstone of Waipu. A landmark property formally owned by the McDell family who also owned the thriving McDell store that sat adjacent.
The grand residence with 12-foot high stud and wide central hall was one of the biggest around, standing gracious and proud in its prominent position at the Shoemaker junction on The Braigh.
Boasting four large bedrooms with built in wardrobes (a feature of luxury back then), large formal dining room, double sunroom and a huge formal lounge - complete with stained glass windows, wood panelled ceiling, decorative ceiling rose and grand chandelier; it was a home of grandeur and significance. A commanding property that made a statement, envied by many.
It's true to say the residence has seen better days, but underlying its foundations the whopping 1,472 sqm subdividable site bordering the Waihoihoi River is still one of the greats.
After being hidden away for years, a remarkable opportunity has been uncovered and unlocked. Ripe for picking by the discerning developer wanting to subdivide, or will the home once a marvel of Waipu, be saved, restored, loved and cherished like it was back in the good old days. You decide.
Will you be bold enough to create it's next statement?
Come and take a look.
