14 Forbes Street, Balaclava, Dunedin, Otago

Welcome to 14 Forbes Street, a solid character home in a location that's both handy and elevated, giving you fantastic city and sea views. Inside you'll find three genuine bedrooms - two with built-in storage and a spacious third, making it ideal for families or those needing a work-from-home setup. The separate lounge carries a lovely character feel with its decorative ceiling, while a dedicated dining room links to the kitchen. The kitchen is well laid out, with plenty of storage, good bench space, and a dishwasher.

The bathroom is practical and well-kept, with tiled walls, shower, and vanity. A separate laundry adds to the home's functionality. Step outside to the rear deck, purpose-built to capture the impressive outlook across the city and out to sea. The low-maintenance section still provides space for kids and pets to enjoy.

To complete the picture, you'll appreciate the freestanding garage (built in 2006), which also includes a handy storage room at the back - ideal as a workshop, hobby room, or even an office space. Beside the garage is a carport, erected at the same time, giving you excellent options for covered parking. Add in further off-street parking and the reassurance of a roof that has been replaced in recent years, and the appeal only grows.

This is an affordable entry into the popular suburb of Balaclava - close to schools, shops, and just minutes from town. 14 Forbes Street is ready for its next chapter - will you be the one to write it?
