Step into the effortless cool of 2 Melrose Street - a show-stopping villa that blends old-world character with contemporary edge. Perched high above the city, this striking home delivers panoramic views over Dunedin and the Otago Harbour - the perfect backdrop for sunset drinks or laid-back evenings with friends.

From the moment you arrive, the villa charm hits different - the signature return kwela veranda is your sunny morning coffee perch, while the long central hallway lined with polished timber floors sets the tone for the character and craftsmanship on display.

Inside, original features meet modern design with ease. Double glazing and ducted heating ensure cosy winters, while high ceilings, feature fireplaces, and curated interiors bring an elevated sense of style. Three generous bedrooms include a chic master suite with his-and-hers wardrobes, and the bathroom serves major luxury vibes with its claw-foot bath and double vanity.

The open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge flow seamlessly to an expansive entertainer’s deck - think golden-hour cocktails and dinner parties with a view that stretches from the city to the ocean.

Functionality for the family includes a separate laundry and ample storage with a loft ladder to the ceiling space and two generous sheds at the rear of the property.

Outside, the grounds are designed for low-fuss living with a pocket lawn framed by camellias, rhododendrons, and natives - just enough greenery to enjoy without the upkeep.

All this, just a stroll to Roslyn Village, top schools, and the CBD. Sophisticated, low-maintenance, and perfectly positioned — this is villa living reimagined for modern life.
