This is a genuine Vauxhall opportunity. Four bedrooms across three levels, panoramic views across Otago Harbour, and a flat 661m² leg-in section - a combination that's rare anywhere in this suburb, let alone with a north-west aspect that catches the sun all day.
This 1970s family home has solid bones and an honest proposition: the big-ticket attributes are already in place. The views, the position, the scale, and the section are exactly what people move to Vauxhall for, and they're not the kind of thing you can change once you own a property. The interior is ready for its next chapter - a buyer who wants to put their own stamp on the home and make it reflect how they want to live will see what's possible here straight away.
Across three levels:
Four bedrooms (two with vaulted ceilings and harbour outlooks), two bathrooms, plus a separate WC
Original kitchen flowing through to the dining and formal lounge with bay window
Second living area opening directly onto a cantilevered north-facing deck - the standout spot to take in the harbour
Ground-floor rumpus / storage area with sliding doors to the garden and harbour view
Two carports plus three off-street parks (rare for the area)
220m² of floor area on a 661m² flat, established section with roses, flowering plantings, and good privacy
Heat pump, wood burner, and a layout that's worked for the family for nearly 30 years.
The location
Vauxhall is one of Dunedin's long-loved harbour-side suburbs, and well-positioned homes of this scale don't come up often here. You're around 15 minutes from the central city, with the harbour walking and cycling routes on your doorstep and the Otago Peninsula's beaches, tracks, and wildlife a short drive on. Grants Braes School is the zoned primary (539m away), Tahuna Normal Intermediate covers Years 7-8, and Bayfield High School is accessible by bus. Trinity Catholic College, St Hilda's Collegiate, Columba College, and John McGlashan College are all in zone for secondary.
A note on the home
Yes, it's ready for a refresh, and we're being upfront about that. A building inspection report (from Red LBP) has been completed and is available to interested buyers - so you can plan your project knowing what's in front of you, rather than guessing. That transparency is deliberate, and it's part of what makes this a genuine opportunity rather than a gamble.
In a suburb where you're surrounded by million-dollar plus homes, this is a genuine opportunity for those with an appetite for renovation to add value and make it your own.
For Sale by Deadline - Thursday 4th June. Prior offers may be considered.
