If you've always loved the timeless charm of Dunedin's villas and bungalows but have been reluctant to take on the maintenance and uncertainty that often comes with an older home, then 135A Shetland Street deserves to be at the very top of your inspection list.
One of an exclusive enclave of just four beautifully crafted residences, this exceptional brand-new home captures the elegance and street appeal of a classic heritage home while delivering the warmth, efficiency and peace of mind that only modern construction can provide.
From the moment you arrive, you'll be captivated by its gorgeous street presence. A classic white picket fence, elegant wrought iron gate, beautifully landscaped front garden and welcoming front veranda create instant charm and a home you'll be proud to call your own.
Designed with flexibility in mind, the home offers a versatile floor plan comprising three bedrooms, two beautifully appointed bathrooms, a large double garage and off-street parking for a further three vehicles.
The heart of the home is a light-filled open-plan living and dining area that flows effortlessly to a private north-west facing courtyard, creating the perfect setting for entertaining or simply relaxing in the afternoon sunshine. A timeless farmhouse-inspired kitchen, handcrafted by Steadfast Joinery, combines elegant design with everyday practicality and is sure to impress.
Quality is evident throughout, from the luxurious wool carpet underfoot to the beautiful French doors opening from both the living area and the master bedroom, adding warmth, character and seamless indoor-outdoor living.
On the ground floor you'll find two bedrooms, including the primary suite complete with a Jack-and-Jill style ensuite, along with a separate laundry thoughtfully tucked away for everyday convenience.
Upstairs offers outstanding flexibility. Whether used as a luxurious master retreat, guest accommodation, work-from-home space or second living area, this private level enjoys its own bathroom, excellent storage and a peaceful sitting area where you can enjoy glimpses of the harbour and views towards Signal Hill.
As an added bonus, purchasers will also have the opportunity to purchase a beautifully curated McKenzie & Willis furniture package, specifically selected to complement the home's timeless design, creating an effortless turnkey opportunity.
Positioned on an easy-care, flat section in one of Wakari's most desirable streets, you'll enjoy a wonderful lifestyle just minutes from Māori Hill Village, excellent cafés, supermarkets and some of Dunedin's most respected schools, including Columba College, John McGlashan College and Balmacewen Intermediate. Ross Creek Reserve, Flagstaff and numerous walking and cycling tracks are also close by, offering the perfect balance of city convenience and outdoor recreation.
Whether you're looking to downsize without compromise, upgrade to the comfort of a brand-new home, secure a lock-and-leave lifestyle, or invest in a property consented for Airbnb accommodation, this home offers outstanding flexibility to suit a wide range of buyers.
With motivated vendors committed to meeting the market, this is a rare opportunity to secure an exceptional new home before or on auction day.
We look forward to welcoming you through.
