Two Living Options, One Exceptional Address

A planned move means our owners are ready to sell, presenting a genuine opportunity to secure this extensively renovated Kelvin Heights property in a tightly held location. A LIM report is available to support a smooth and confident purchase.

The home has undergone a comprehensive transformation, built with quality and longevity in mind. The upper level has been completely reimagined into a stunning, modern open-plan living space centred around the lake views. The designer kitchen flows seamlessly to a generous wrap-around balcony - perfect for entertaining, or simply taking in the ever-changing alpine outlook.

Positioned on an elevated site, the home captures commanding outlooks of Lake Whakatipu, stretching past Walter Peak and across to Kelvin Grove. Iconic landmarks including the Skyline Gondola, Ben Lomond, and Cecil and Walter Peaks form a spectacular backdrop, while all-day sun enhances the sense of warmth and space.

Accommodation is highly versatile, with the property offering legal home and income status. Upstairs features two double bedrooms, each with fully tiled ensuites and built-in storage. The lower level is thoughtfully designed as a fully self-contained flat - two bedrooms, two tiled bathrooms, living space, kitchen, and private outdoor area with its own entrance - or can be opened up to create a substantial four-bedroom, four-bathroom home. Ideal for extended family, income, or guest accommodation.

The renovation extends well beyond aesthetics, with new cladding, a new roof, full insulation, soundproofing, and new wiring and plumbing throughout. Comfort is assured with ducted heating and cooling on the upper level, plus a heat pump and electric heating below. The home also features 21 solar panels with battery storage, a modern security system, and beautifully established gardens with fruit trees.

Additional practicality includes internal-access, carpeted double garaging, a dedicated laundry, guest toilet, generous storage, a separate outbuilding for workshop or home office use, and extensive off-street parking with room for a boat or motor home!

Located just moments from Jardine Park, the lakefront, walking and biking trails, and the golf course - this is Kelvin Heights living at its best: sun-soaked, elevated, and lifestyle-rich.

The renovation is done, homes offering this level of flexibility are rare, and the decision is yours. For further information or to arrange a private viewing, contact Kate.

Deadline: 2pm Wednesday 12th August 2026 (Unless Sold Prior)
