Positioned in the heart of ever-popular Māori Hill, this warm and welcoming home offers sunshine, privacy and flexibility for modern family living. Set within beautifully established grounds on a generous 686sqm section and offering approximately 163sqm of living, the property provides a peaceful garden sanctuary in one of Dunedin’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.
Easy access from the street is via a path beneath a hedge that arches overhead, creating a quaint first impression of the home. Established greenery and mature trees create an immediate sense of calm and privacy as you arrive, leading into a charming entrance foyer that sets the tone for the home.
The upper level forms the heart of the home, where you will find the open-plan dining and living area, a welcoming space for family life and entertaining. Just off the living space is a north-facing sunroom, perfectly positioned to capture all-day sun and offering an elevated vantage point across the surrounding greenery, an ideal place to relax with a morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day.
From the main living room, doors open to a sunny deck overlooking the garden, creating a lovely indoor-outdoor connection. The home enjoys a wonderfully sunny aspect, with large picture windows capturing light and peaceful garden views.
The kitchen sits just off the living and dining area, classic in design with warm timber accents. Also located on this level is a guest bedroom which could be a separate living area/media room and a separate toilet.
The lower level offers excellent accommodation for families, with three further bedrooms, a family bathroom and an additional separate toilet. One of the bedrooms connects to a generous rumpus or hobbies retreat, a versatile space ideal as a children’s hangout, creative studio, gym or work-from-home area. With bifold windows opening to the garden, the room enjoys wonderful natural light and fresh air. There is also a small office or storage room on this level, providing additional flexibility.
Outside, the gardens are a true highlight. Established trees, lawn areas and woodland planting create a beautiful garden sanctuary, fully fenced and dog-secure, with plenty of space for children and pets to explore. Tucked amongst the trees is a sweet woodland garden setting, a magical corner to relax and enjoy.
Practical features include ceiling insulation, gas hot water, fibre internet, attic storage, a separate laundry, under-house garden storage, and one off-street park.
Super sunny, private and full of charm, this is a home that offers both comfort and opportunity in a tightly held location.
