St Patrick’s Presbytery, built in 1903, has been thoughtfully transformed into a sophisticated residence where European technology meets classic Kiwi comfort. This grand Edwardian home offers a rare combination of heritage, craftsmanship, and modern indulgence.
Inside, the home features generously sized bedrooms, a stylish bathroom, and an additional separate toilet. The layout includes a charming breakfast room, a formal sitting room, and practical spaces such as a separate laundry and mudroom.
Original character is showcased throughout, from the native timber staircase to the triple-brick construction and French interlocking roof tiles from Marseille.
The country-style kitchen is complete with a coal range, a master-chef stove, and an adjoining pantry with repurposing potential.
Exquisite European wallpapers, including Sanderson designs, will suit the discerning buyer. Additional hidden delights include the portico sunroom, upstairs linen room, and sauna.
Comfort is paramount, with a German Stiebel-Eltron central heating system, an open fireplace, NZ wool carpets, and a warm, elevated north-facing aspect.
The former horse stables now accommodate a double garage with workshop, storage and an outside loo.
Set on a peaceful and elevated position in the heart of Lawrence, the home enjoys stunning rural views from most rooms, an ever-changing backdrop of seasonal colour.
The private BBQ area provides an ideal space for sunny days, while the property’s layout also supports numerous other lifestyle options such as bed and breakfast, Airbnb, or work-from-home.
Lawrence invites you to enjoy genuine small-town New Zealand living with shops, cafés, school, 4 Square, the health centre, and a creative community all within walking distance and just 50 minutes from the Dunedin Airport.
More than a home, this is a work of art, a refined sanctuary for lovers of heritage and tradition with a spirited dose of comfort.
