Overview

Heritage elegance, refined modern living.

Perched in a commanding elevated position with captivating street presence, this beautiful early 1900's character four bedroom residence effortlessly blends heritage charm with contemporary sophistication. Lovingly cared for by just three families, it exudes timeless elegance, with ornate ceilings, rich timber panelling, wide hallways, character fireplaces, and exquisite stained glass windows—an enduring testament to the craftsmanship and refinement that define this exceptional family home. At the heart of the residence is a light-filled, open-plan kitchen, living, and dining space—a sophisticated yet inviting hub designed for both everyday family living and effortless entertaining. French doors open to a lush, level lawn framed by mature, established gardens and a paved patio, creating seamless indoor–outdoor flow. The kitchen has been thoughtfully upgraded, offering generous granite benches, bespoke storage, and an adjoining scullery, continuing the home’s harmonious blend of character and modern convenience. Two additional living areas provide versatile spaces for work or relaxation, including a light and airy formal lounge and an elegant library/office. Both generously proportioned to adapt to the changing needs of a family, either could be used as a 5th very spacious bedroom. A modern bathroom on this level further enhances day-to-day functionality. An impressive timber staircase ascends to the upper level, revealing four well-proportioned bedrooms. The master suite is a truly stunning retreat, commanding breathtaking views across the harbour, city, and Signal Hill, and is complemented by a charming character fireplace and bespoke built-in wardrobing. Two further bedrooms enjoy elevated vistas, generous floorplans, and built-in storage, while the fourth bedroom is ideal as a child’s room or nursery. The family bathroom combines period charm with modern comfort, featuring the original claw-foot bath of the home alongside a spacious tiled shower, underfloor heating, and a separate toilet. A sun-drenched office completes this level. Nestled in one of Dunedin’s most desirable suburbs, the home is within easy walking distance of Columba College, Kaikorai Primary, and the boutique offerings of Roslyn Village, with a quick five-minute commute to the CBD, University, Hospital, and other quality schooling at all levels. Enhanced with full double glazing, dual heat pumps, gas hot water, and a double garage, the home offers comfort, elegance, and practicality in equal measure. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a residence of timeless character, family-friendly functionality, and enduring appeal in one of Dunedin’s most coveted suburbs—ready for a new family to write the home’s next chapter and enjoy the unparalleled lifestyle it affords.
