After receiving strong interest throughout the three week campaign and many active buyers coming through the open homes, the auction was brought forward with continued bidding in the room resulting in a successful sale under the hammer!

Dual Key or Large Family Living!

73A Ashley Street combines character, space and versatility in a convenient Rangiora location - offering a level of flexibility that is increasingly hard to find.

At the heart of the property is a generous three-bedroom main residence, with a brand-new kitchen, refreshed interiors and a near-new roof (circa 2025). Complemented by an attached, consented one-bedroom flat under the same roofline with its own living area, kitchenette, bathroom and private entry. This clever configuration creates genuine dual-key potential and opens the door to a wide range of living arrangements.

Whether you’re accommodating extended family, providing independence for teenagers or older children, looking for space for guests, or exploring the potential for supplementary income, this is a home that can adapt as your needs change.

Come and take a look this Saturday 5th September, 10:45 - 11:15am or view online at nzsothebysrealty.com/CHR10444
