Thursday November 23 2023 5 From near-$1m price bump to $10k loss: Cone home feels resale pain • By Nikki Preston A CLEVERLY renovated midcentury cone-shaped home that was given an award-winning makeover to bring it into the 21st century has sold for the second time in just over a year, but for slightly less. The 1970s home at Westburn Tce, in Ilam, sold for $1.3 million – $10,000 less than the previous owners picked it up for at auction in September last year. The property was put back on the market at the end of September due to a change in circumstances. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home passed in at auction in mid-October but sold a few weeks later at a fixed price. Harcourts Gold listing agent Cameron Bailey, who marketed the home for the second time with Charlie Horncastle, said it was a good price and showed that good properties in good locations still hold their value. Bailey, who had earlier described it as an “uber cool” home, said a mix of buyers had been looking at the property including families, executives and downsizers. He could not reveal who the new owners were. The property underwent a sympathetic 14-month renovation by the previous owner, Angelique Armstrong, a wellknown Christchurch interior designer. Armstrong picked up the home for $461,000 in 2017 for herself, and her hard work scored the home an award for the best renovation project in the 2021 TIDA NZ Renovation of the Year Awards as well as a near-$1m price bump when she sold last year. It comes as family homes in Ilam continue to net surprising prices at auction. A three-bedroom, onebathroom home on an impressive 1315sq m section, also on Westburn Tce, sold under the hammer for $1.46m earlier this month with five people competing for it. Bailey, who sold the home with colleague Catherine Aitken, said the recently renovated home on a large section was bought by a family. CONE: The Ilam home was renovated by interior designer Angelique Armstrong. “It’s just one of those areas where you are getting great value for money. You are getting a location that is still really close to town, it’s got some cool houses in there – there’s a mixture of character houses and some midcentury houses.” Harcourts Grenadier listing agent Andrew Steel also sold a four-bedroom, two-bathroom brick home in Ilam that netted the owners $252,000 more than they had expected. The Coniston Ave home attracted plenty of attention as soon as it hit the market and within days the owners accepted an offer of $950,000, bringing the auction forward. There were six bidders in the auction room last week and the property eventually sold under the hammer for $1.202m. Steel earlier told OneRoof well-presented properties in good areas tended to always be in demand and that people liked Ilam because it was close to the university. – NZ Herald A CONSIDERED CHOICE HOLLY LEA CARE CENTRE At Holly Lea, we are committed to delivering exceptional care.
