Welcome to 2 Waireka Street - For sale by negotiation
Tucked away just minutes from the city, 2 Waireka Street is a cool and character-filled home that offers a unique blend of charm, flexibility, and creative style. Positioned near the harbour and close to the University, Dunedin Hospital, the Botanical Gardens, and the CBD, this is city-fringe living with a twist.
Interior Features:
Split across three distinctive levels, this home is full of personality. Entry is via the main open-plan living space, where high-pitched feature ceilings, warm-hued flooring, skylights, and a new wood-burner create a warm and welcoming hub.
Upstairs, the loft-style bedroom provides an elevated sanctuary with restful vibes and beautiful outlooks. The elegant main bathroom is on the same level as the living area and features brass tapware and a shower over bath for a touch of sophistication.
The lower level reveals even more space, with a second open-plan lounge/dining/kitchen area, a TV room, and three additional bedrooms - ideal for families, guests, or flexible living arrangements. Rich timber accents, creative design features, and glimpses of the harbour and city elevate the character throughout.
Bonus Space and Exterior:
At the bottom of the home is a versatile utility or hobbies room - perfect for creatives, tinkerers, or added storage. This connects with tiered decking and multiple outdoor seating areas, inviting you to relax and take in the peaceful surrounds.
Set on a 961m² (+/-) section, the property is private and full of potential, with scope to landscape or enhance further. A striking red roof and classic weatherboard exterior ensure this home stands out. Off-street parking for one-two vehicles adds further convenience.
Lifestyle and Location:
A rare gem so close to town, this property offers harbour-side tranquillity while being only minutes to the University, Hospital, CBD, and all major amenities. Outdoor lovers will appreciate being just a five minute walk from the Rimu Track, which leads to the Signal Hill Plateau - a popular spot for walking and mountain biking. The broader Signal Hill area is widely used by locals for its scenic trails and outdoor recreation.
The layout of this home makes it suitable for a wide range of buyers - whether you're a large family needing space, a couple or single person looking to generate rental income, or an investor seeking flexible options. The split-level design supports dual-living or Airbnb potential (subject to council consent), offering the freedom to live, rent, or host on your terms.
