Highgate, Maori Hill, Dunedin City

A Landmark Māori Hill Property - Restore, Renovate or Redevelop. Positioned proudly on the corner of Highgate and Spylaw Street, this much-admired residence has long been the figment of many people's imagination! Steeped in history and believed to have been a Baptist church before its conversion into a private residence, this picture-postcard property now presents a rare opportunity to secure a blue-chip address with big potential.There is no denying this dear old home has seen better days. Yet beneath the years lies a wealth of character waiting to be rediscovered. Original leadlight windows, beautiful timber floors, period fireplaces, original ceilings and the stunning staircase remain, providing the perfect foundation for someone with vision to restore this old lady to her former glory.Whether you choose to undertake an immediate renovation or transform the home over time, opportunities like this in Māori Hill are becoming increasingly rare.Offering a large and flexible floor plan, the home features four or five bedrooms, 2 or 3 living areas and two bathrooms, providing the space to create a truly exceptional home.Outside, the superb flat corner site opens the door to even more possibilities. Renovate, extend or investigate the future development potential of the site (subject to DCC consents). In a location of this calibre, the chance to add significant value is compelling.The location speaks for itself. Enjoy an easy walk to John McGlashan College, Māori Hill Primary School, No.7 Balmac and Balmacewen Golf Course, while public and private hospitals, the University of Otago and the CBD are all just a five-minute drive away.This is not a property for buyers searching for perfection. It is for renovators, builders, trades-people, developers, and visionaries. Those who recognise that premium locations deserve premium homes.Properties with this history, this potential and this address seldom become available.Deadline Sale - closes Tuesday 14th July at 1pm - prior offers considered.
