Located in the ever popular coastal settlement of Karitane, just 30 minutes from Dunedin CBD, this exquisite Cape Cod-styled home, designed by Ashley Muir of Mason & Wales, offers a substantial home, bathed in all day sun, paired with the relaxed charm of New Zealand’s coastal living.
Meticulously crafted in 2007, offering water views from the upper level, this residence exemplifies timeless architecture combined with modern functionality. Set on a flat, elevated section, it provides an exceptional opportunity to embrace a peaceful yet connected lifestyle.
Spanning 366m², the home features four generously sized double bedrooms. Two are located on the ground floor, while the upper level boasts a third bedroom and an impressive master suite complete with a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite, and sweeping panoramic coastal and rural views. A dedicated study off the main living area offers a quiet workspace or reading retreat. The French doors throughout the home open onto sun-drenched decks, providing seamless indoor-outdoor flow and multiple areas to enjoy throughout the day.
The heart of this home lies in its beautifully appointed kitchen.
