Upsize when you Downsize in Style

Set within the private hillside of Vauxhall, this distinctive mid-century modern residence is like a tree house with stunning views. The elevated position provides sweeping outlooks across the harbour and city. Extended in 1998 by renowned Dunedin architect, Ted McCoy, the home has been intelligently reworked to create generous modern living zones, excellent natural light and strong connections to its surroundings.

This home sits within a tranquil setting offering privacy, native birdsong and direct proximity to Arthur's Walk and the Peninsula Cycleway. Inside, expansive windows - many extending to floor level and constructed with laminated safety glass - draw in sunlight and frame ever-changing views, creating a bright and uplifting atmosphere throughout the living areas. The northly-facing aspect and abundant natural light contribute to making this a warm and comfortable home.

There are two separate living areas: one functioning as a quiet retreat and the other a spacious open-plan living and dining area that forms the social centre of the home. This open-plan space connects effortlessly to a large, protected deck, ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the harbour outlook and in shelter and sun. The kitchen is practical and well laid out, featuring ample cabinetry, pantry storage, dishwasher, electric oven, and a gas cooktop. Comfort is assured year-round with two heat pumps servicing the main living areas. Accommodation includes three well-proportioned bedrooms, anchored by a notably large main bedroom with full-height glazing. This home could be perfect for downsizers who need room for hobbies, those looking to work from home or needing space for guests.

Vehicles are very well provided for via a double garage and a single carport with separate entrance. The double garage includes power and was originally positioned with future adaptability in mind, offering scope for additional use or development subject to council approval. Having been held and cared for over multiple decades, this property now presents an increasingly rare opportunity to secure a private, architecturally enhanced, view-oriented home in one of Dunedin's most established suburbs. This is a property that offers privacy, position and outlook while still being just minutes' drive to town.
