Maria gave her name to an Onehunga Street
and 2 or 3 Aucklanders built timber-framed houses
with classical 19th Century character: there's 5 houses
in Maria Street. We plan to follow suit: how would
you like to grab a share in the process?
Relocating this delightful period cottage with a flair and imagination, can only enhance the character of the entire inner-suburban street.
Resource consent and building consent will be obtained to recreate this hovel as a very attractive period mini-mansion, really a virtual villa.

The Fallen Lady's Fence
Number 7 will be placed on 142m2 of volcanicsoil just behind that old tin fence in GoogleShot.
Frontage is 10.35m, depth a bit over 16m,
Land goes way past the neighnour's garage
Land is fairly flat, too.
Eventually the Lady Vanished: the fence will too.

Maria's Mini Mansion
This lovely old railway-signal-box-styletiled-roof clapboard cottage is to be
relocated on new foundations on the land.
The architect's plans provide for the house
to be split in 2, and some fascinating
double-height spaces will be created
with a bit of help from...our creative builder.
Seen from the street
The recreated old cottage will look stunning.Instead of merely reflecting the period villas
on the other side of the road,
it will contribute a complimentary character
all of it's very own
As you drive down the street towards our place
The cottage will look something like this. The plan is Still Under Construction
...a bit like this website ;-)While we work on cloud effects and luscious landscapes, why not email a few comments or queries, and we can discuss your requirements, terms and prices and timing, and anything else that you need to know if you want to take over this project at whatever stage suits you. Happy too, to email you thses photos and plans in a more-readable format.
if you want to trade a property or a collectors' car or an old oil painting just ask.
If your bank still lends cash, I definitely reckon we should get together
and work out how to get you the best investment for your money;-)
Price: I didn't think you'd ask, so the answer's like a length of string.
The CV of the land is $130,000, but where else can you get an inner-city
site for this price. HINT: The only other I know of is way out at Massey,
The house relocated at ground in one simple box with consents for the
next stages, could be worth $70,000
There are various ways of financing (y)our project. Offers would be
entertained at this preliminary stage even if your kitty is wa-a-a-y short
of a coupla hundred K...or we could sell you a finished project...
ready to win the 2011 Architect's Gold Medal*.... for half a Million.
Or whatever in between.
*PS I'm joking about the Medal, just testing if you're still with me.
