Buy smart with this solar-heated home in a premium location.
Unassumingly positioned along a quiet street this 120 sqm dwelling hides a magical feature: solar powered underfloor heating and hot water! The moment you step inside the front door and feel the warmth you will know this is the one.
French doors in the combined kitchen and dining area flood the room with light and open to a fabulously sunny deck taking in rural hill views to the north.
A separate lounge with woodburner, which also heats through to the kitchen/dining room, is a comfortable hideaway.
Glowing with pride, original Rimu joinery remains throughout, while ornate ceilings add a pleasing touch of yesteryear glamour.
The master bedroom is spacious and opens to a north-facing sunroom which has the potential to be developed into an ensuite.
Installed by a previous owner, a high-end German-made solar system heats water on roof panels which feeds into a cylinder and then through super-insulated underfloor pipes. These pipes radiate heat through the floor in three zones which can be controlled separately at the touch of a button. With ceilings and walls also insulated, this may be the most energy efficient home you'll ever find; important for a healthy and happy life as well as the household budget!
The 379 sqm section consisting of two small lawn areas and rock-retained garden beds featuring mature rhododendrons is a pleasure to maintain.
This is a friendly neighbourhood of owner-occupiers, with community spirit enhanced by the annual Christmas gathering. This property is in-zone for Maori Hill School and just around the corner from John McGlashan College: two of Dunedin's best schools. The playground over the road is a great overflow zone for the kids.
The current owners have purchased elsewhere so make the smart move and put 16 Cairnhill street at the top of your inspection list.
LIM and electrical reports available.
