From the moment you enter the double gates you will discover this truly unique property, offering a rare blend of seclusion, space, and convenience - right in the heart of North East Valley.
Set on 1.6187 ha (+/-) of land, including two fenced paddocks, this exceptional lifestyle block offers endless possibilities.
A sweeping asphalt drive leads to the double garage and double carport, then continues up to the grand character villa, beautifully framed by native bush. Step onto the expansive front deck, breathe in the tranquillity, and enjoy the constant birdsong that defines this private retreat.
Inside, the home radiates charm and warmth - from the magnificent hallway with pressed-tin ceilings and walls, to the polished timber floors, ornate tiled fireplaces, and graceful bay windows. Generous living spaces include an open-plan kitchen-dining-living area with a wood burner on wet-back, plus a separate lounge for formal entertaining or relaxed family evenings.
There are five bedrooms in total, two with ensuites, plus a well-appointed family bathroom, providing superb flexibility for multi-generational living or guests. Practical comforts include diesel-run radiator heating throughout and extensively upgraded wiring.
Outside, a private rear courtyard creates a sheltered second outdoor living zone, perfect for summer dining. The adjacent shed houses a large sauna, workshop, and ample storage. A glass house, additional outbuildings and a large hen run add to the property's versatility, providing ample opportunities for sustainable living, hobbies, or extra storage. In addition to the garaging and carport, there is extensive off-street parking for multiple vehicles, including the convenience of parking right near the front door.
There is also the opportunity to purchase the adjoining section (on its own separate title) at 44 Crown Street, consisting of 7206 square meters +/- of bare land. The vendors are open to negotiating a price, should you wish to purchase both 42 and 44 Crown Street together.
This is ultimate family living - space, serenity, and lifestyle, just minutes from Dunedin city centre, Otago University, local cafes restaurants, and services and the numerous recreational facilities nearby.
I look forward to your call for a private appointment to view.
