Dunedin is full of wonderful homes from the Edwardian era, and like most people, you can’t help but wonder what lies beyond the front door.
54 Manor Place is a substantial Edwardian family home, rich in character, generous in scale and full of potential, offering approximately 220 m² of living across two levels.
From the moment you arrive, the striking brick façade gives a sense of the history and presence this home holds, while inside there is so much character still waiting to be appreciated and enhanced.
Interior
Step through the front door and you are greeted by a grand entrance and sweeping staircase, immediately setting the tone for the rest of the home.
High ceilings, timber detailing, grand bay windows with sash windows and several feature fireplaces all contribute to the character, with many of the original features still retained.
The front lounge is a standout, with its generous proportions and beautiful bay window creating a wonderful sense of space and light.
The home offers a number of flexible living areas across both levels, giving plenty of scope depending on how you choose to use the space. Whether you require additional bedrooms, separate living areas, a home office or creative spaces, there is room here to make the layout work around your lifestyle.
The kitchen and dining area sit towards the rear of the home, with further rooms beyond, including bathroom and laundry facilities.
Upstairs, the long landing connects a number of generous rooms, with another grand bay window and further character features continuing throughout.
Two heat pumps provide additional comfort, while the electrical wiring shows evidence of more recent upgrading, although the property has not been fully rewired.
Exterior
The elevated position gives the home a lovely outlook across the city.
At the front, the beautiful balcony provides a wonderful spot to step outside and take in the elevated views.
To the rear, the upper veranda overlooks the courtyard below, creating another connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.
The courtyard itself offers further potential and provides a sunny area to enjoy or enhance over time.
The roof was replaced approximately just over ten years ago, adding another practical improvement to the property.
