16 Canongate, Dunedin Central, Dunedin City, Otago

Bold by design. An inner-city retreat with a remarkable perspective.

Striking dark Colorsteel cladding, clean architectural lines and a distinctive commercial-inspired aesthetic make an immediate impression. Elevated above central Dunedin with captivating city, harbour, and ocean views, this standalone, freehold townhouse-style home delivers modern living with timeless appeal.

Spread across three levels, the home combines polished concrete floors, generous proportions and a remarkably flexible floor plan. Industrial influences are beautifully balanced by inviting interiors, creating a private city retreat with personality and practicality in equal measure.

From the substantial double garage and excellent storage on the lower level, impressive concrete stairs lead to the main accommodation, where polished concrete floors make a beautiful statement.

A generous front lounge opens to a private tiled balcony, capturing elevated views across the city towards the harbour and ocean. An adjoining dining area offers wonderful versatility, equally suited to an additional sitting room or dedicated home office, while a further dining or sitting nook sits alongside the kitchen.

The timeless kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, generous bench space, an induction cooktop and excellent storage. A skylight introduces natural light, while a separate laundry and utility area provides additional space for appliances and storage.

Two generous bedrooms occupy this level, serviced by a spacious bathroom and separate toilet.

Upstairs, a second substantial lounge captures an even more elevated perspective across Dunedin, Otago Harbour and towards the ocean. Large windows frame the outlook, while sliding doors open to another private tiled balcony – a wonderful place to enjoy your morning coffee or watch the city lights appear in the evening.

Two further bedrooms, both with excellent wardrobe storage, complete the upper level, including a front bedroom with a generous walk-in-style wardrobe. A second spacious bathroom and separate toilet add convenience.

At the rear, a sheltered timber deck and pebbled courtyard provide a private setting for outdoor relaxation and entertaining. Steps lead to a further low-maintenance garden and utility area, complete with clothesline.

Modern comforts include two heat pumps, a new heat pump hot water system, fibre internet connectivity, and convenient keypad entry.

Positioned within easy reach of Dunedin's CBD, university, hospital, cafés and restaurants, this distinctive home offers an appealing combination of inner-city convenience and residential privacy.

The property has been thoroughly enjoyed by its current owners, providing a wonderful Dunedin base during the years their adult children worked as healthcare workers at the hospital. More recently, it has also proved popular as short-stay accommodation through an Airbnb-style arrangement.

Now surplus to their requirements, the vendors are ready to pass this much-loved property on to its next owners.

Whether you're seeking a substantial inner-city residence, a convenient Dunedin base or a property with potential for visitor accommodation, subject to the appropriate requirements, the flexibility here is particularly appealing.

Modern. Timeless. Unmistakably individual.
