Designed and cleverly crafted by Mason & Wales, this distinctive architectural style is recognised throughout Dunedin, with a timeless appeal that continues to stand the test of time. Here at 14 Sim Street, that enduring design is paired with a superbly considered layout, creating a home that works beautifully for modern family living.
Set in the heart of ever-popular Māori Hill, the location is hard to beat. With a wonderful selection of leading primary and secondary schools nearby, along with one of Dunedin’s favourite cafés, No.7 Balmac, there is so much to love about this sought-after address.
Arriving home is easy, with convenient ground-level access through the double garage or the welcoming front entrance. A handy cloak cupboard provides the perfect spot for winter jackets and shoes before French doors open into the generous open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. Bathed in sunshine from early morning through to late afternoon, this inviting space is enhanced by two sets of floor-to-ceiling sliding doors, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out.
At the heart of the home, the stylish kitchen combines good looks with everyday practicality. A striking stone waterfall benchtop makes a statement, while deep drawers, overhead cabinetry and space for a family-sized double fridge-freezer ensure storage is well catered for. Whether preparing family meals, catching up over a coffee or entertaining friends, this is a space that naturally brings everyone together.
Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation for the whole family, each enjoying plenty of natural light and built-in wardrobes. The generous master bedroom features his-and-hers wardrobes and an ensuite, while the remaining three bedrooms are serviced by a spacious family bathroom complete with an indulgent bath. A large laundry cupboard on this level adds another layer of everyday convenience.
Downstairs, a separate toilet and laundry provide further practicality, while the double garage offers more than just secure parking. A cleverly created TV room within the garage space gives growing teenagers their own place to relax, unwind and enjoy time with friends - a welcome bonus as family needs evolve.
Outside, the beautifully planted garden offers a peaceful retreat and a lovely extension of the living spaces. Rhododendrons, flowering cherry trees and fragrant michelia bring colour, seasonal interest and delightful scent, creating an inviting setting that remains refreshingly easy care. There is still plenty of lawn for children and the family dog to enjoy, and with Māori Hill School just a few steps away, the convenience for families is hard to overlook.
Combining enduring Mason & Wales design, thoughtful family functionality and an enviable Māori Hill location, 14 Sim Street is a home that deserves your attention. Come and experience it for yourself this weekend.
