What's around 16 Montpellier Street

"Lane End" — A timeless Dunedin treasure

Nestled in a peaceful, elevated setting and designed to capture all day winter sun, this exceptional 1915 residence is a rare and beautiful example of early 20th-century architecture. Designed by the well-known architect Henry Mandeno, this gracious home, affectionately named "Lane End" by original owner, Edith Woodhouse, has been cherished by the current owners for the past 58 years. Rich in character, the home unfolds over two levels. Upstairs, five bedrooms and a family bathroom provide comfort and space. Downstairs, a traditional Axminster-carpeted entranceway sets the tone for the charm that lies within. Two versatile study/office spaces, ideal for working from home, sit alongside a grand, sun-filled formal lounge that frames picturesque views of the established gardens. The heart of the home is a warm and welcoming open-plan kitchen, dining, and sitting area that flows effortlessly onto a large, north-facing deck, perfect for morning coffees, family dinners, or simply unwinding after a hard day's work. You will be kept warm over winter with a heating system that includes a wood burner and two heat pumps. A toilet and laundry are located adjacent to the kitchen. The double garage, with internal access and a workshop, have been additions made to the home to cater for a growing family. Beyond the home itself, the 1012m² section is nothing short of enchanting. Wander handcrafted garden paths under a canopy of trees, enjoy the fragrance of lemons and limes grown in ideal conditions, and watch native bird life dance through the greenery. Further potential lies in the land, with subdivision or development opportunities (subject to council consent). The original single garage located on Serpentine Ave gives access to this potential development. The home has recently been professionally repainted and re-roofed, leaving you free to move in and make it your own, adding your personal touch over time. This special location has been a cornerstone of family life for nearly six decades. A short 15-minute walk to town, just two minutes’ drive to Mornington’s shops and cafes, and easy access to excellent schools have made it the perfect place to grow roots. Now, after a lifetime of memories, it’s time for a new chapter. "Lane End" is ready to welcome its next custodians, those who will appreciate its special features and rare sense of peace and place. LIM and electrical reports available to support your due diligence.

Cares about both vendor and buyer. There to help us both.

What stood out most was his genuine care for our needs and goals but also the respect and care he gave the vendors. He took the time to listen and was always available to answer questions or offer guidance. He never rushed us with decisions. Thanks to Rob’s hard work and commitment, the entire experience was smooth and successful. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with you again in the future and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and results-driven real estate agent to chose him.

A First Rate Agent

Rob Bevin was recommended highly to us by a friend when we were looking for an agent for the sale of our home. We were not disappointed. Rob has years of experience in real estate and a deep understanding of the market. While always thoroughly professional, Rob has a warm friendly manner and a nice sense of humour. He kept us well informed throughout the process and was willingly available to answer our questions patiently and fully. We remain extremely grateful for his genuine care and support. The publicity material Rob prepared for the sale was superb: tasteful, attractive and imaginative. And he was conscientious and hard working setting up open homes, relating pleasantly with potential buyers and diligent in maintaining contact with them. We in our turn are now happy to recommend Rob highly to anyone seeking an agent to assist in the sale of their property.
