Welcome to 19 Napier Street, a substantial and beautifully balanced family home offering approximately 270sqm of living space, set on a sunny, private 911sqm section in the heart of Belleknowes. This is a home that combines scale, character, and modern comfort, delivering everything a growing family could want, without compromise.
Originally built in the 1910s, the home has been thoughtfully and extensively renovated over the years by caring custodians, blending its classic charm with contemporary functionality. The result is a warm, welcoming, and highly liveable home that has been designed to evolve with family life.
On the main level, a downstairs bedroom provides excellent flexibility, complete with generous built-in storage. A large study or music room also sits on this level, offering superb storage and an ideal space for work, hobbies, or quiet retreat.
The living spaces are a standout, perfectly suited to families of all ages. A beautiful, sun-filled front lounge flows into a second generous living area, which in turn connects to a large space currently used as a family dining room but equally suited as a third lounge. Adding further charm is the octagon-shaped sunroom, featuring beautiful timber joinery and a prized north-facing aspect that captures excellent sun throughout the day.
Also on this level is a stylish, newly renovated bathroom and a large laundry and services room, offering excellent utility and storage.
The kitchen is modern yet warm and inviting, featuring composite stone benchtops, ample storage, and generous preparation space. It flows seamlessly into a casual dining area, which is heated by a pellet fire, creating a cosy and welcoming heart of the home. French doors open from this space onto a covered, sun-drenched patio and veranda, an elevated spot that looks out over the garden, perfect for entertaining or simply watching the children play.
Upstairs, the family-friendly layout continues with three large bedrooms, excellent storage, and a well-positioned family bathroom, ideal for busy households.
Notable features of the home include a new electrical control box and updated wiring, substantial insulation, double glazing, a ducted heat pump system, gas hot water, fibre internet, and a home that has been beautifully refreshed, repainted, and updated. The exterior is well maintained with an elevated deck featuring a premium Finnish electric sauna, creating a private wellness retreat with indoor–outdoor flow. The fully fenced section provides a safe, spacious environment for children and pets to enjoy.
There is off-street parking for one vehicle, and the location is exceptionally convenient, within easy reach of Mornington and Roslyn’s shops, cafés, and amenities, as well as excellent schooling options, and just minutes from the CBD.
A home with heart, scale, and modern upgrades, 19 Napier Street offers a genuine sense of family living in one of Dunedin’s most desirable suburbs.
