This 1937 character home at 166 Venus Street is one of those properties that genuinely impresses the moment you step inside. Sitting on a substantial 928m² (more or less) section with approximately 190m² of floor area, it offers a level of space and quality rarely found at this price point in Invercargill.
The home has been thoughtfully updated while honouring its heritage. The modern kitchen is a real centrepiece — featuring a gas hob, built-in oven, and a generous island bench, finished with a crisp white aesthetic that feels both fresh and timeless. It flows seamlessly into the open-plan dining and living area, where beautiful arched detailing and original character features create a warm and welcoming heart to the home.

This is a home that works just as hard as it looks good. The solar panels, two heat pumps, and double garage make it genuinely practical for everyday living, while the character features and generous proportions give it a warmth that modern builds simply can't replicate. The master suite with its own French doors and patio is a particularly lovely touch — the kind of detail you notice and appreciate every single day.
If you've been searching for a home that combines genuine character, modern comforts, and serious space — all on a substantial section — this is the one worth getting excited about.
