They say location is everything, and East Taieri has long been one of Dunedin's most sought-after pockets. Why? Simple - sun. And this home has it in spades. Tucked up behind the dairy at East Taieri, nestled into the north-facing toe slope of Saddle Hill, this is one of those wonderfully snug, sheltered positions that locals know and love. Before we even step inside, it's important to note this property sits within the zone for East Taieri School - one of Dunedin's finest and oldest primary schools.

Now to the home itself. Built in enduring brick with a Colorsteel roof, the street appeal is instantly reassuring, with a driveway leading to a double internal-access garage. Low-maintenance materials, aluminium joinery and established planting all point to a property designed for easy living. Inside, the home offers four bedrooms and a spacious open-plan living and kitchen area, all comfortably arranged within a well-designed 165m2 floor plan.

The living zone opens beautifully to a large, sun-soaked timber deck - a real highlight - creating excellent indoor-outdoor flow and a private setting for entertaining, relaxing or simply soaking up the peaceful outlook. Comfort is well covered year-round with a heat pump and a diesel fire in the lounge, while the kitchen is equipped with quality appliances including a smooth-top cooker and wall oven. Practicality hasn't been forgotten either, with two toilets and excellent storage throughout.

If your budget stretches toward modern comforts but falls short of a brand-new build, this home is well worth a closer look. When you consider the replacement cost today, it becomes even more compelling. Equally suited to families or couples, this is a home that delivers on location, warmth, comfort and lifestyle. Be quick to view - opportunities like this in East Taieri are always tightly held.
