Just footsteps from the vibrant St Clair Esplanade, this exquisite 1915 weatherboard villa captures the essence of coastal living where timeless character meets modern ease. Wake to the sound of the sea, stroll to your favourite café, and come home to a residence that embraces both history and lifestyle.

Inside, the wide central hallway leads you through spaces rich in period detail — ornate ceilings, tiled fireplaces, timber sash and leadlight windows — all lovingly preserved. Three generous bedrooms plus an office (or nursery/fourth bedroom) provide flexibility for family life, while the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen form the heart of the home. Here, warmth flows easily with two heat pumps, a wood burner, and extensive double glazing, ensuring comfort year-round.

French doors open to a sunlit deck, the ideal spot for morning coffee or evening gatherings that linger late into the night. The gardens are beautifully landscaped and terraced, offering both privacy and sweeping views over St Clair. At the end of the day, unwind in the wood-fired hot tub, where the glow of the fire and the sparkle of the stars create a truly enchanting retreat.

Practicality hasn’t been forgotten, with a centrally located bathroom (featuring freestanding shower, bath, and separate toilet), ample off-street parking for 3–4 cars, and a single garage.

This is more than a home — it’s a lifestyle. A place where history, charm, and modern living combine in one of Dunedin’s most sought-after locations.
