34 Bennett Road, Ocean View, Dunedin City

Sitting on an elevated 2688sqm section with privacy and magnificent Pacific Ocean views, this modern four bedroom, two bathroom, two living area home is the ultimate seaside retreat. With panoramic views over the small seaside town of Ocean View, this property is perfectly appointed for those who value their privacy with a distinct lack of neighbours, and their views and beach walks. With new carpets throughout and new hard-flooring in the kitchen-dining area, plus all other areas including tiles in the bathrooms, all the flooring is new. A fresh coat of paint to most areas in the home, new window dressings and the addition of LED lighting, this home is ready and waiting for a couple or family to start living and making memories by the sea. The modern kitchen, blessed with that amazing view, also has access to the expansive outdoor area with deck leading to a lawn - a great place for kids and pets with summer approaching fast. That alluring Ocean View Beach is only a few minutes away on foot, so don your wetsuit and grab the surf board - weekends have never looked so good. Extra features abound including the double garage with internal access, heat pump plus log burner, two living spaces and plenty of storage. The level of presentation in this four bedroom home - three up and one down - is sure to impress and your visit at one of the scheduled open homes will introduce you to a whole new lifestyle. Please note that this property has two titles, 8 and 4A Edna Street which are 2075sqm and 613sqm respectively. Offers are invited for this property and possession is flexible as my vendors are relocating to Central Otago once this property is sold. Please be quick to view.

My vendors comments when asked about their time at The Sands: "Simply an amazing tenure here and that sums it up - we are very sad to be leaving." Comments I can indeed relate to considering I live just a few houses along and am also a fan of this unique seaside strip of land that neighbours the sea and sand. Every day seems like a holiday when the sea is so close and the crashing of the waves ushers you to sleep at night. What makes this location even more special is Taylor's Creek which ponds before meandering out to sea, just below this intriguing property. Fed from the hills behind, it provides a haven for the ducks and other birdlife. All this is observed from both the section, developed to the water's edge over the reserve strip, and from the upper storey living area where the views stretch to the horizon, Brighton beach and out to Green Island. Also on this level is the kitchen, open plan to the living, opening to a balcony with glass balustrade to ensure uninterrupted views while seated. This balcony has a 'stairway to heaven' access from the garden below. The three ground floor bedrooms are all capable of double beds and the master has an ensuite. The Rimu lined main bathroom has a separate shower, bath and access to a separate toilet, which in turn can be accessed from the laundry. The front door opens via French doors to the west garden and the veranda is a tranquil spot for an afternoon cuppa. This front door opens internally to the second living area which the owners refer to affectionately as the 'snug' - a good place for the second TV. The double garage is very generous and has oodles of workshop space - it definitely qualifies as a modern 'man cave'. The Sands now awaits a new family. If you need to get back in touch with nature, break those shackles of work at day's end and retreat to a place that your family will simply love, you need to visit me at the scheduled open homes. Go for a walk on the beach afterwards and get used to what would be an everyday pleasure.

If your priority list in housing includes magnificent panoramic ocean views, directly north facing with all day sun, a sizeable home and one on a decent sized section, then 34 Bennett Road is a must-see. The established section provides that popular screening from the road and the meandering sealed drive down to the home provides plenty of off-street parking. The easy-care section at 1619m2 has mature oak, pohutukawa and silver birch trees, and large flat areas including a vegetable garden and plenty of space for the kids to play. Subdivision potential may exist but we will let you check that out for yourselves. The rear of the section rises up at the seaward side of the section to meet the floor level of the lounge, and visitors can either come up the internal stairwell from the garage or via either side of the home and arrive at the sliders on to the huge deck. The magnificent open plan kitchen-dining-living area is a sun trap and with the added benefits of double glazing, a Masport wood burner and new woollen carpets underfoot, this home is winter ready! The 180-degree views from Saddle Hill and down across Ocean View Beach are simply enthralling and an undeniable feature of this perfectly positioned home. Apart from the island out the window, the kitchen has an island also, plus a five burner gas hob, European dual oven and the Samsung fridge can even stay, but for those who like a view while baking, this is another plus for the family cook. The dining and living areas open to the expansive Kwila deck (which faces north and the ocean) via large sliders and this deck is also shared by the master bedroom. The master has an ensuite and is bathed in morning sun. This level also has another three bedrooms, one of which could easily be an office. The main bathroom is also handy to these three rooms. The lower level accommodates a fifth bedroom or second living area with bathroom and is indeed a great place for the teenager, visiting friends, a gym or larger home office. Other features of this large family home include LED lighting, heat pump, bathroom underfloor heating, new paintwork internally, high pressure Rheem hot water cylinder, large internal access garage with space for work bench/firewood, frequent bellbird, fantail, pigeon and tui visits, off-street parking for at least four vehicles, just a few minutes' walk to the beach via a public right of way, close by to schooling at Brighton, and buses direct to high schools in the city. This is one of Dunedin's standout seaside properties just 15 minutes to the city. The vendors are now Waimate-based and your opportunity to buy 34 Bennett Road is very much now! Please view at one of the scheduled open homes or by private appointment. The next move is yours...
