129 Duke Street, Gladstone, Invercargill, Southland

Built in 1928 and extensively updated since, this beautiful generous home combines the elegance of character with modern comfort. The house sits proudly on Duke Street in the heart of Gladstone with just a short stroll to Queen's Park. It’s a family home that each owner has clearly cherished – right through to the surrounding, established gardens that are full of bird life. This property is the full package!

There is a wonderful sense of privacy, space, and shelter behind the long hedge and, as you move through the home, that same feeling continues. There are multiple living spaces, each offering their own function to suit busy family life and the quiet moments. Overall, this house flows logically from one room to the next.

The large, combined kitchen and dining room together with a formal sitting room and a snug are brilliant. All the joy of modern, highly functional kitchen/dining with the convenience of two separate living areas - perfect for the family to share or have their own space and all the time those garden views abound!

And you will love the north facing sunroom — relax while taking in the peaceful views of the garden through the leadlight arches. Don’t imagine morning coffee on the rocking chair, come and experience it!

The master bedroom is conveniently located downstairs. An adjacent family bathroom and separate laundry add to the ease of living, making the layout ideal for families or those wanting flexibility. Overall, the house has an abundance of storage everywhere you turn.

The grand hallway and staircase draw you upstairs, where you’ll find three further bedrooms and a second bathroom, creating a perfect separation between living and sleeping spaces. Throughout the home, storage is exceptional, and beautiful original details remain, with the western timber window frames thoughtfully double glazed, preserving character while adding warmth.

Outside, there’s a separate double garage, off street parking, additional storage, along with space for the trampoline.

One of the special aspects for the current owners has been the prime location. Being so close to Queens Park has been a treat, while taking advantage of the tennis courts and bowling green over the road, and exceptional education offerings only this central location can unlock.

We love this exceptionally beautiful family home and know you will too.
