Overview

VENDORS HAVE MOVED – NOW PRICED TO SELL

That makes this one of those opportunities where the circumstances align perfectly for buyers. A highly desirable property type, in a highly desirable suburb, with vendors who have already purchased elsewhere and clear instructions to achieve a result. If you know the Dunedin market, you'll know exactly the type of home buyers gravitate towards — brick, double glazed, sunny, warm, private and beautifully updated. Add a hugely popular Tainui location and you have a combination that is hard to beat. Now available at enquiries over $599,000, this is a property where the opportunity is very real. Privately positioned back from the street, this home creates an almost unexpected sense of escape. It's peaceful, sheltered and feels a world away from the hustle and bustle, yet the CBD is only moments away. That privacy comes from genuine section size, and rather than being a burden, it's exactly what's driving demand in Tainui right now — room to garden, space for kids or pets, and off-street parking for up to six vehicles that most inner-Dunedin sections simply can't offer. Inside, the home delivers three generous double bedrooms, with the master featuring a built-in robe, alongside a separate laundry and a beautifully updated bathroom with underfloor heating. With proportions this generous, the third bedroom does double duty as an easy home office or study when you need one, without paying for a fourth bedroom you'd rarely use. The living areas are warm and inviting, with a fire and two heat pumps providing plenty of options for year-round comfort. The improvements are substantial, practical and genuinely current — new carpet in 2023, upgraded electrics, new shower, Insulmax wall insulation, HRV system, double ceiling insulation, underfloor insulation and a moisture barrier. Aluminium double glazing completes the package. This is what a modern finish actually looks like once the essentials are done properly, and it's already reflected in the price, without the premium of a full rebuild. There are also thoughtful additions that make everyday living even better, including a whole-house water filtration system designed to remove chlorine and other impurities from the water — an especially appealing feature for those with sensitive skin. Then there's the feature that will have summer buyers circling — fantastic indoor-outdoor flow to a large, sunbathed deck, added in 2023. It's the perfect spot for family gatherings, entertaining or simply enjoying the privacy this property provides. Level access to the home adds another layer of practicality, with both a ramp and stairs providing easy access to the deck and living areas. Outside, there's off-street parking for up to six vehicles, while substantial storage underneath the home adds another layer of practicality. And the location? Tainui at its best. Close to schools, sports grounds, clubs, parks, the golf course and some of Dunedin's favourite beaches, while still offering incredibly fast access to the CBD. Warmth. Sun. Privacy. Practicality. Location. And vendors who are ready to move. They've purchased elsewhere, their instructions are clear, and they're looking for a result. At enquiries over $599,000, this is an opportunity worth taking seriously.
