2 Coombe Hay Terrace, Careys Bay, Dunedin City, Otago

Tucked away on a quiet street overlooking Careys Bay, this charming home exudes character, with original features enhanced by modern touches, and stunning views across the bay and harbour.

Step through the red front door with its beautiful leadlight window into a tiled entrance way that sets the tone for the rest of this unique home. Three very generous double bedrooms open out from the hallway, all with built-in storage options, and two with harbour views.

A sunny living room with heat pump opens through to a good-sized kitchen/dining area featuring warm wooden detailing and ample storage. A side door allows access out to a flat outdoor area, while a modern tiled wall bathroom, separate toilet with tiled floor, and large laundry with concrete tub open out on the other side.

Another side door provides access out to a brick path that meanders from an off-street parking area to a rustic greenhouse in which vegetables flourish during the summer, past a covered spa area and round the side of the house towards the front deck and those sparkling water views.

An easy-care garden featuring many native plants provides a haven for native birds - the quiet of this area is broken only by their song. The section is fully-fenced, and safe for children, cats and dogs.

The current owners have lived here for 20 years and worked hard to create a home that their children (and now grandchildren) have enjoyed living in. Now it's time for another young family to move in and enjoy everything this property has to offer, including great neighbours!

Within easy walking distance to the historic Careys Bay Hotel, and less than five minutes' drive to the cafes, shops and galleries of Port Chalmers.
