2 Melrose Street

This is an exquisite 1900s villa that cleverly blends the character features reminiscent of its era with modern-day living. The first thing you are greeted with is the classic kwila hardwood return verandah. This is a great place to sit in the sun and have a morning coffee while taking in the spectacular harbour view. The ambience radiates as soon as you step inside, and you will be taken by the lightness, the long central hallway and the polished timber floors. The tasteful décor is a credit to the tireless work undertaken a few years ago which also included new electrics, plumbing, and GIB throughout. A comfortable temperature is achieved throughout the house with a ducted heatpump system, plus it is well insulated. Accommodation consists of three generous sized bedrooms, two of which have feature fireplaces and the master room has his and her wardrobes. They are serviced by a gorgeous bathroom where the claw foot bath is an eye-catching feature, and the double vanity will come in handy in the morning rush. A high spec kitchen will facilitate all your culinary creations, and the large dining/living area gives you the leeway to create different spaces, and makes entertaining a breeze. Many hours will be wasted away sitting on the window seat, relaxing and absorbing the view down the harbour, over the city and out to the ocean. The sunny substantial deck offers privacy and is a place where you will find yourself venturing out to. With the perfect backdrop of the city, it will be a hard place to draw yourself and your visitors away from. An easily maintained section means you will have time in the weekend to relax, rather than having to garden. There is a shed to store all those necessities. It is an easy walk to some of Dunedin's top schools, Moana Pool and town from this extremely well-located family home. The cafés and shops at Roslyn are also at your doorstep. There aren't many homes like this currently on the market and our advice is to inspect now while it's still available. Phone Shane or Julie.
