A Sanctuary in the Heart of Roslyn

Some homes simply have a feeling about them. A warmth, a calmness and an undeniable sense of belonging from the moment you step through the front door. 26 City Road is one of those rare homes.

Lovingly adored and meticulously maintained by its current owners, this beautiful 1910s character residence offers a peaceful sanctuary in the heart of one of Dunedin's most sought-after suburbs. Privately positioned down a driveway, it feels wonderfully secluded, yet is only moments from everything that makes Roslyn such a special place to call home.

As you enter, beautiful polished timber floors immediately set the tone before your eye is naturally drawn down the hallway to the first glimpse of the stunning city and harbour views beyond. It is a home that feels welcoming, calming and instantly familiar.

The main level has been thoughtfully designed for everyday family living. Two double bedrooms are complemented by a beautifully renovated bathroom featuring a stunning clawfoot bath, large shower and tasteful pops of colour.

At the heart of the home is a timeless country-style kitchen. Beautiful timber benchtops, elegant green cabinetry and a generous island bench create a space where family and friends will naturally gather. With excellent storage, room for a study nook and breathtaking views across the city and harbour, it is a kitchen you'll never want to leave.

Flowing effortlessly from the kitchen is the dining area, complete with a charming window seat, the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee, relax with a good book or simply admire the outlook across the gardens and harbour beyond.

The adjoining lounge is equally inviting, with high ceilings, polished timber floors and large windows framing the surrounding ferns and established gardens. A new wood burner creates wonderful ambience through winter, while a heat pump, ceiling and underfloor insulation, togther with extensive double glazing throughout the home, ensure year- round comfort.

Upstairs offers exceptional flexibility with a generous bedroom, ensuite bathroom, excellent storage and a peaceful sitting area enjoying harbour glimpses and views towards Signal Hill. New wool carpet on the staircase provides a warm and welcoming approach to this private retreat.

Downstairs, a fourth bedroom or second living room opens directly to the gardens, making it an ideal teenage retreat, guest accommodation, work-from-home space or additional family room. A large laundry, generous storage and excellent practicality complete this level.

Outside is where this home truly earns the title of sanctuary. Beautiful cottage-inspired gardens, blossom trees, established hedging and easy-care lawn areas create a peaceful setting that feels far removed from city life. A separate gardener's toilet adds further practicality, bringing the home's total to three toilets.

Off-street parking for two vehicles is provided, although you may find yourself leaving the car at home. Roslyn Village, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets and local amenities are all within easy walking distance, while the CBD is only minutes away. Excellent schooling, including Columba College, Otago Boys' High School, Otago Girls' High School, Māori Hill School and Wakari School, further enhances this exceptional location.

Offering a flexible floor plan, timeless character, beautiful modern updates and a setting that truly feels like a retreat, this is a home that will effortlessly adapt through every stage of life.

Our relocating vendors are naturally sad to be leaving a home that has given them so much joy, but they know it is ready for another family to fall in love with.

Could that family be yours?
