Combining the charm of bungalow living with refreshed modern interiors and an impressive array of outdoor features, this appealing two-bedroom home offers a lifestyle with plenty to enjoy. Set on a generous, level 1,112 sqm (more or less) section in the vibrant coastal community of Port Chalmers, there's space to entertain, pursue hobbies and embrace a more self-sufficient way of living.
Freshly painted throughout and complemented by new carpet and a contemporary colour palette, the home has a welcoming feel, with thoughtful updates creating a fresh and cohesive interior. Two well-proportioned bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, provide practical accommodation, while the bonus of two separate living areas offers flexibility for everyday living, entertaining or simply spreading out.
The kitchen is a real highlight, combining the warmth of timber benchtops with generous preparation space and excellent storage. A large walk-in pantry and soft-close drawers add everyday practicality, while quality appliances, including a five-burner gas hob, Bosch steam and combi ovens, and a Schweigen silent rangehood, make this a well-appointed space that delivers on both style and functionality.
The second living area opens through sliding doors to a large, sunny deck, extending the living space outdoors. A covered structure currently provides a dedicated BBQ and entertaining area, with the flexibility to remove it and return the deck to a completely open space if preferred. Comfort is well catered for with double glazing throughout, two heat pumps and an HRV heat transfer system, while a separate bathroom and toilet add everyday practicality.
Beyond the home, the generous, level section is a standout feature, offering an impressive amount of usable outdoor space and a range of possibilities. A substantial Total Span garage, complete with power and workshop space, is ideal for those needing room for vehicles, hobbies or projects. A further powered outbuilding with its own heat pump provides valuable additional space, whether for a home office, creative studio or hobbies.
For those with an interest in growing their own produce and embracing a more self-sufficient lifestyle, the property is particularly appealing. A glasshouse structure, large chicken coop and generous grounds provide an excellent foundation for enjoying the rewards of homegrown living. The location adds another layer of appeal, with Port Chalmers School, kindergarten, bowling club, swimming pool and Watson Park all within just a few minutes' walk. The township's popular cafés, galleries, shops and local amenities are also close at hand, while central Dunedin remains an easy commute.
Offering far more than first meets the eye, this is a property where refreshed interiors, versatile spaces and a generous section come together to create an appealing lifestyle opportunity. Whether you're starting out, downsizing without compromising on space, or looking for a home with room to pursue your interests, there's plenty here to appreciate.
