Set well back from the street and extensively upgraded throughout, this 1960s home blends classic bones with modern comfort — offering a private, sun-filled lifestyle just minutes from the coast.
Step inside and you’ll instantly notice the care that’s gone into every detail. Fully insulated (walls and ceiling), double glazed with LOW-E glass, and extensively rewired, this is a home that’s been transformed for everyday ease. The wide hallway creates a sense of space and flow, leading to three well-proportioned bedrooms — each with thoughtful features like wall lighting and USB ports — and a stylishly updated bathroom complete with spa bath, dual-head shower, and a heated mirror.
The generous lounge, with tri-fold doors opening to the veranda, is the heart of the home. It flows seamlessly to the dining space and modern kitchen, featuring quality cabinetry, gas hob, and walk-in laundry — all designed to make daily life a pleasure. Heating is well-covered with a large heat pump and a gas fire for cosy winter nights.
Outside, you’ll find mature fruit trees, raised vegetable beds, a greenhouse with water supply, and a sun-soaked backyard that’s hosted more than one family Christmas. There’s room to grow, relax, and entertain in every season.
Need a workshop or extra storage? The freestanding garage offers just that — with built-in benches, drawers, shelving, and even a separate storeroom. Plus, the original garage has been lined and insulated (though not consented as a living space) complete with ranch sliders and its own heat pump, perfect for those hobbies, creative hub, or weekend project space, it’s a welcome extra.
Waikouaiti itself offers a wonderful lifestyle — from the local sports grounds and tennis courts to a surprisingly well-stocked Four Square, Hammer Hardware, service station, and one of the friendliest pubs around (just wait until you try the food!). The beach is a short stroll away and is known for its safety, serenity, and summer buzz. Plus, with a bus stop just around the corner, commuting to Dunedin is easy and scenic — a peaceful way to start and end your day.
TVs are staying throughout, and a fencing estimate for added privacy is available on request.
