Character, views and some of the big jobs already taken care of. Elevated and enjoying sweeping urban views, this four-bedroom villa brings together impressive original detail with the updates that make everyday living easy.
Inside, the character is hard to miss. Impressive timber panelling, beautiful sash windows, hallway arches, wooden floors and high ceilings with ornate detailing give the home plenty of personality, while moody tones throughout add a slightly funky edge. The open-plan kitchen and dining area is the natural hub of the home, with a modernised kitchen creating an easy space for family life and opening directly to the outdoors.
Four bedrooms provide plenty of flexibility, complemented by a modern central family bathroom. And when it comes to the big-ticket items, the coloursteel roof and wiring upgrades are already done, giving you a solid head start without taking away from the character that makes this home so appealing.
Outside, the wrap-around deck makes the most of the elevated position and sweeping outlook, with an additional elevated garden deck providing the perfect spot to wind down in the afternoon. The terraced garden adds interest and usable outdoor space, while a glasshouse will have the green thumbs happy and storage sheds take care of the practicalities.
The location is wonderfully convenient, with easy access to the shops and amenities of Kaikorai Valley, handy schooling options and a quick drive to the CBD, Otago University and Dunedin Hospital.
For buyers looking for a villa with genuine character, a bit of personality and plenty of the hard work already done, this is one worth taking a closer look at.
