A home where heritage and history blends with modern, comfortable city living, offering a perfect lock-and-leave setup with no lawns to mow and minimal garden upkeep.
Admire the striking street frontage on arrival, then enter via the generous foyer where native timbers and the soaring ceiling height set the tone for this breathtaking property. The New York loft style vast open plan living area offers an excellent entertaining space complete with a stage, a huge billiard table, a roaring fire and a beautiful kitchen warmed with tones of wood and copper.
There are four double bedrooms (master with walk in robe), two tiled bathrooms with underfloor heating and a separate laundry.
The double brick construction, extensive floor and ceiling insulation, and commercial wool carpets all work to retain heat pumped out by the powerful Yunca Wegj woodburner. A ceiling fan circulates the warm air, and solar hot water keeps your energy bill down.
The City Rise location is a short walk to Moana Pool, schools, and the restaurants and bars of the Octagon. Living this close to the CBD makes it a perfect short term accommodation option or city base, and there is the option to purchase furnished, should you wish.
The Russell Street Sunday School was first established in 1875, and earlier structures were replaced by the existing building in 1936, which was converted to a home and office by architect Ian Butcher in the 1990s. More recently an extensive renovation has made this into a comfortable, low maintenance inner city home.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to purchase a unique piece of Dunedin's history, character protected but without heritage restrictions.
