Beautifully presented, superbly positioned and full of personality, 8 City Road is a gorgeous Roslyn retreat where character, comfort and future potential come together.
With its timeless villa façade, sophisticated interiors and stunning outlook across the city and harbour, this is a home with enormous versatility. Whether you are searching for a stylish professional pad, a couple’s retreat, an investment, Airbnb, or simply a fabulous Dunedin town base, there is plenty to love here.
Inside, the home offers two double bedrooms, including the master bedroom positioned at the front of the home with designated storage and wardrobe space. The good-sized living room benefits from a high stud height, enhancing the sense of space, while beautiful detailing and considered décor create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The adjoining kitchen and dining area is equally impressive, combining contemporary cabinetry with quality Gaggenau appliances, including a warming drawer, steamer, barbecue grill, electric hob and gas hob.
The recently renovated bathroom is fresh and beautifully finished, while downstairs, accessed externally, the updated laundry is an incredibly practical bonus. Beautifully lined in ply with timeless flooring and excellent storage, this space also incorporates the second toilet.
Comfort has been thoughtfully considered throughout. The vendors have installed central heating powered by a Bosch LPG boiler (enabled for future conversion to hydrogen) with balanced flue, six wall-mounted radiators with thermostatic heads and a heated towel rail with thermostatic control. A Wi-Fi thermostat and time clock allow for off-site operation and monitoring through the Heatmiser app, perfect for those using the property as a Dunedin base who would like to have the heating on before they arrive.
Further improvements include a new hot water cylinder, which is solar capable but presently runs off both power and the central heating boiler. There is double glazing to the front windows of the front bedroom and lounge, ceiling and underfloor insulation, Insulmax insulation to the external walls, fibre internet and beautiful Malcolm James curtains.
And then there are the views. Elevated above the city, the outlook stretches across Dunedin and the harbour, creating an ever-changing backdrop by day and a gorgeous display of city lights by night.
Perhaps one of the most exciting aspects of 8 City Road is what the future could hold. The vendors have obtained resource consent and QG3 approval for the construction of a fabulous new dwelling, with the consent expiring in 2028. This creates an exciting opportunity to enjoy the existing home, invest or land bank while considering the longer-term possibility of creating a dream home in this highly desirable location.
Stylish enough to simply move in and enjoy, yet offering an intriguing future dimension, 8 City Road is a very special Roslyn opportunity.
Deadline Sale: 14 October 2026, unless sold prior.
