Some properties are all about the home, others about the land, and every now and then one comes along that offers both. Set on a substantial 1,017sqm site, this character-filled 1920s brick home delivers striking street appeal, generous living spaces and beautiful gardens, with the added appeal of land size and zoning that may open the door to future development opportunities (subject to council approval). Whether you’re looking for a wonderful family home with room to grow or a property with a longer-term vision in mind, there’s plenty here to get excited about.
Behind its handsome façade, a wide and welcoming entranceway sets the tone, leading into interiors rich with period charm. Beautiful wood panelling, leadlight windows and two distinct living areas create a home with personality and versatility. The generous kitchen and open-plan dining area form the heart of everyday living, with doors opening to the flat, west-facing backyard where afternoon sun, established plantings and plenty of room to play come together beautifully. A separate living room offers a quieter retreat, while the sunroom provides a lovely spot to sit back and enjoy the garden outlook.
Outside, the grounds are every bit as appealing as the home itself. The expansive, level backyard offers space for children to run around, keen gardeners to indulge their passion or simply somewhere to enjoy the outdoors. Established gardens and a tunnel house add to the charm, while the practicalities are well covered with double garaging at the rear and an additional single garage fronting the street.
Location is another standout. With several Dunedin primary and secondary schools, along with preschool options, close at hand, the setting is wonderfully convenient for families. St Clair Beach is an easy stroll away, as are the Esplanade’s popular cafés, restaurants, bars and boutique shopping, making it easy to enjoy the best of coastal living.
A substantial site, a character home with genuine appeal and a location that continues to draw interest. Whether your plans involve putting down roots, making the most of the land or exploring its future potential, this is a property that deserves your attention.
