20 Strathmore Crescent, Roslyn, Dunedin

Do you remember the 60s? Truly a classic!

On the market for the first time in decades this prominent Dunedin home elevated proudly above the city is sure to create huge interest. Built to the highest standards in the 1960s the home hides a truly retro experience with essentially the entire decor, fitments and furnishings original from that wonderful era. Purchasers will be arguably of two types-those that treasure such a rarity and will preserve what is there and those that will wish to secure the property to modernise. Regardless the site is prime with a low maintenance 519 sqm section bathed in sun and with some of the best views one would want. It is within walking distance to the Roslyn Village and the Octagon; great schools are a stone's throw away as is Moana Pool. The split level 140sqm home is built of concrete with a solid concrete foundation and piles. There is rimu flooring throughout and the roof is concrete tiled with copper spouting. A feature is the blue-stone chimney for the open fire in the lounge. The living area comprises the formal lounge which has two huge windows that give unimpeded panoramic views of the city, harbour and peninsula right round to Mt Cargill. A smaller day living area then leads in to the kitchen dining room. Everywhere there is colour and design from a bygone era. To the rear a large laundry even has a fixed wooden ironing board.
On a slightly lower level the three bedrooms each with their own expressive decor greet you and the bathroom and separate toilet are a burst of colour and pristine originality. There is internal access down to a single basement garage which has two utility rooms and another toilet. A rare hint of today is found here in the form of an auto roller door.
For an extremely special property astute buyers are encouraged to inspect. GV $470,000
