180 Victoria Road, St Clair, Dunedin

A family beach retreat with heart and soul

Wow - what a home!

A stones throw from the Esplanade, this immaculately presented 1920s character home offers the perfect balance of timeless charm and modern family living, all in the heart of sought-after St Clair. Stylish interiors, a considered colour palette, and beautifully maintained features inside and out ensure immediate appeal from the moment you arrive. In the back of the house and yard it opens up and has that wow factor.

Interior Features
Step inside to a welcoming central hallway, where stained glass and warm character detailing set the tone. The lower level offers two well-appointed double bedrooms with built-in cabinetry, a front office (or single bedroom), and a beautifully tiled family bathroom with a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and a laundry cleverly concealed behind modern joinery.

The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area is the heart of the home- northwest-facing for great sun and flow, complete with high character ceilings, bifold doors to the deck, and a timeless kitchen with views over the spa and garden. Stylish yet functional, the home is enhanced by a cohesive colour scheme, quality finishes, and thoughtful design throughout. Comfort is ensured year-round with three heat pumps, gas hot water, full double glazing, and quality insulation. Thoughtfully designed, there is plenty of storage throughout.

Upstairs, two generous bedrooms offer flexibility, one with a walk-in robe, and the other with lovely afternoon sun and garden outlooks, perfect as a second living zone or teenager's retreat. A third smaller bedroom or office and a second bathroom complete the upper level, both bathrooms featuring modern fittings and underfloor heating.

Exterior Features
Framed by lush landscaping and full fencing, the outdoor living here is superb. A kwila deck flows seamlessly from the living area and wraps around a sunken spa, an entertainer's paradise or private family haven. A paved front patio, herb-framed pathways, fruit trees, natives, and a flat lawn create a backyard oasis with space for both relaxing and play. A large workshop/storage shed adds excellent functionality, and off-street parking sits securely behind the bespoke electric gate.
