Deadline now brought forward to 4pm on the 17th November.
Welcome to this harbourside 1920s villa, set on a generous quarter-acre section, the classic Kiwi dream. With its timeless villa façade, terracotta-tiled steps, and character wraparound balcony, this charming home blends original charm with comfortable modern living. Positioned to take in sweeping views down the harbour, it’s a place to truly slow down and enjoy.
Step inside to a central hallway featuring high ceilings and plank flooring in a light, timeless tone, both practical and stylish. To your right, a spacious lounge enjoys natural light, a wood-burner, an elegant bay window, and wonderful harbour views.
There are three bedrooms off the hallway, with the north-facing master opening through French doors to a private front balcony, a peaceful retreat for your morning coffee or evening read. The kitchen and dining area is generous and filled with light. A modern fit-out adds coastal flair, featuring ply joinery, a concrete benchtop, and plenty of space to cook and entertain.
The bathroom is spacious with a shower, vanity, and tongue-and-groove wall panelling that nods to the home’s heritage. A separate mudroom-style laundry offers excellent storage and everyday practicality.
Upstairs, a bonus loft room offers flexible extra space, ideal as a hobby room, kids’ hangout, home office, or extra storage.
Outside, the home’s exterior has been recently repainted. The vast lawn section is a blank canvas for gardeners, families, and pets, and offers scope for further development (pending council consent). From the back lawn, the elevated outlook stretches over the harbour, a stunning backdrop for outdoor living.
The home is heated by both a heat pump and woodburner, supported by ceiling and underfloor insulation for comfort throughout the seasons.
Just minutes from the vibrant community of Port Chalmers, and a picturesque drive to beloved beaches such as Purakaunui and Aramoana, the location also benefits from easy access to the popular harbour cycleway, perfect for weekend adventures or a scenic commute into town. Dunedin’s CBD, hospital, and university are also within easy reach, making this a well-connected and charming lifestyle choice.
A picturesque, well-positioned harbourside home, ready to enjoy as-is with exciting potential to enhance, perfect for first-home buyers, families, and those looking to embrace coastal village life with city convenience.
