Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this 1970s treasure on Braeview Crescent is the kind of home that instantly captures your imagination. Hidden up a private driveway and surrounded by native bush, it feels like you’ve stumbled upon a secret sanctuary - bathed in sunshine and alive with the nostalgic charm of its era.
Step inside and you’re greeted by a home that wears its 70s roots proudly. The original detailing has been beautifully preserved, waiting for someone with vision to embrace the mid-century magic and take it to the next level. With the growing love for retro design, this is your chance to create something truly special - think timber tones, statement lighting, and modern comfort that still nods to the home’s groovy past - with the original building dating from the 1950's.
The layout is generous and adaptable, offering three well-sized bedrooms and a spacious top-floor room that’s brimming with potential - perhaps a luxurious master retreat or creative studio. Thanks to the home’s elevated position, every window frames lush green views, with glimpses of Mt Cargill in the distance adding to the sense of serenity.
The kitchen, in tidy original condition, flows into the dining area, opening out to a sun-soaked northwest deck - perfect for laid-back brunches or evening drinks in the sunshine. The lounge is pure 70s brilliance, complete with its iconic Oamaru Stone fireplace - a feature so good, it deserves to stay centre stage in any future makeover.
Under the house, there’s a generous workshop and garaging space, along with two covered carports and a charming glasshouse for your green-thumbed pursuits. The near-flat section offers even more opportunity - whether you want to create open play spaces for kids or simply enjoy having the local playground just over the fence.
Opportunities like this don’t come along often. A sunny, secluded, and supremely private home with all the right bones to become a standout mid-century revival in one of Dunedin’s most desirable suburbs.
So, if you’ve got a soft spot for 70s design and a vision for the future - this could be your moment to make it shine.
