Step through the charming garden gate, framed by a mature holly hedge, and discover this beautifully restored 1910s villa. Brought into the 21st century with significant renovations, this home seamlessly blends timeless character with modern convenience, creating a residence full of heart, soul, and style.
Interior Features - A classic covered porch leads into the central hallway, where soaring pressed tin ceilings set the tone. To the left, the generous master suite offers a bay window with custom squabs, walk-in wardrobe, and a stylish ensuite complete with heated tiled flooring. Along the hall are two further double bedrooms, and a family bathroom finished in restful tones with tiled floors and a shower-over-bath.
The main living areas sit to the right of the hall, designed for flexible living and entertaining. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge is the heart of the home, filled with character details including ornate ceilings and a new wood-burner framed by the original surround. Warm bamboo flooring complements the large kitchen, which enjoys afternoon sun and effortless indoor-outdoor flow.
For those wanting extra space, a second lounge (or optional fourth bedroom) flows off the main living zone, easily adaptable as a family retreat or private reading or media room.
Comfort and Practicality - This home is warm, efficient, and thoughtfully upgraded for modern living. Two heat pumps, a new wood burner, gas hot water, and underfloor heating in the ensuite provide easy comfort. Substantial ceiling insulation and some wall insulation, together with double glazing, ensure year-round warmth and energy efficiency.
Outdoor Living - Set on a low-maintenance 402sqm allotment, the property offers easy-care outdoor spaces. A paved courtyard flows from the dining/kitchen area, while a sweet deck off the kitchen adds further connection to the outdoors. Subtle latticework around the verandah enhances the villa’s charming street appeal. There is also a single garage complete with auto door.
Location and Lifestyle - Nestled in the heart of Belleknowes, in the area affectionately known as the “Greek Quarter,” this home is perfectly positioned for easy living. Roslyn’s cafés, shops, and amenities are close by, while excellent schools, transport links, and the CBD are only minutes away. Loved by families, couples, and downsizers alike, this is a neighbourhood known for its community feel.
3 Delta Street is a stunning example of character brought beautifully into modern life, peaceful, private, and stylish, in one of Dunedin’s most desirable suburbs.
