Tucked away in a setting of all day sun and enveloping privacy, this large late-1800s villa on Magnetic Street offers the kind of character and seclusion increasingly hard to find - privacy here isn't an afterthought, it's the first thing you feel. Fully fenced and beautifully screened from the world, a private approach shields the villa from the street, without offering a glimpse of what's inside until you're through the gate.

Enter straight into the heart of the home - a lovely kitchen with large north-facing bifold doors opening out onto the sheltered courtyard. It's a kitchen full of character, with designer cabinetry, generous workspace, a new Westinghouse double oven, and a feature pot rack.

It flows through to a colourful dining and living area, warmed by an open fireplace and heat pump, with large windows filling the room with sun. An entry off this living area links through to a sunroom/conservatory, opening out to a second courtyard with raised garden beds. A wide passage off the kitchen leads through to the rest of the home - a study/library with inbuilt bookcase, a large bedroom, bathroom with combined laundry, a further single bedroom, and a third large bedroom enjoying morning sun and sea views. Opposite, a second living area with wood burner takes in views over Back Beach , bush reserve and the harbour - an everyday outlook that never gets old, full of activity and birdlife.

This is a home that's comfortable, colourful and full of character today - with real scope to refresh and make it truly your own. Set in the heart of Port Chalmers, this villa offers the best of both worlds - a close-knit, characterful village community, cafes and galleries nearby, and Dunedin's city centre just a short drive away.

See you at the Open Homes or viewing by appointment.
