Tainui, Otago
About this property
Purchased elsewhere. Exceptionally motivated. Auction day is the day to get this property sold. If you know the Dunedin market, you'll know exactly the type of home buyers gravitate towards — brick, double glazed, sunny, warm, private and beautifully updated. Add a hugely popular Tainui location and you have a combination that is hard to beat. Privately positioned back from the street, this home creates an almost unexpected sense of escape. It's peaceful, sheltered and feels a world away from the hustle and bustle — yet the CBD is only moments away. Inside, the home delivers three generous double bedrooms, with the master featuring a built-in robe, alongside a separate laundry and a beautifully updated bathroom with underfloor heating. The living areas are warm and inviting, with a fire and two heat pumps providing plenty of options for year-round comfort. The improvements are substantial and practical — new carpet in 2023, upgraded electrics, new shower, Insulmax wall insulation, HRV system, double ceiling insulation, underfloor insulation and a moisture barrier. Aluminium double glazing completes the package. There are also thoughtful additions that make everyday living even better, including a whole-house water filtration system, designed to remove chlorine and other impurities from the water — an especially appealing feature for those with sensitive skin. Then there's the feature that will have summer buyers circling — fantastic indoor-outdoor flow to a large, sunbathed deck, added in 2023. It's the perfect spot for family gatherings, entertaining or simply enjoying the privacy this property provides. Level access to the home adds another layer of practicality, with both a ramp and stairs providing easy access to the deck and living areas. Outside, there's off-street parking for up to six vehicles, while substantial storage underneath the home adds another layer of practicality. And the location? Tainui at its best. Close to schools, sports grounds, clubs, parks, the golf course and some of Dunedin's favourite beaches, while still offering incredibly fast access to the CBD. The vendors have already purchased elsewhere, and their instructions are clear — they want a result. That makes this one of those opportunities where the circumstances align perfectly for buyers. A highly desirable property type, in a highly desirable suburb, with motivated vendors and a genuine auction campaign. Warmth. Sun. Privacy. Practicality. Location. And a motivated vendor. Auction day could be your day.
