20 Kerr Street, Karitane, Dunedin

Set near the end of a well-loved cul-de-sac, 20 Kerr Street is a home that has been cherished by the same family as a holiday retreat for over 20 years. Fully fenced and privately positioned, there’s something quietly special as you make your way down the drive — a sense of arrival that immediately feels relaxed and welcoming.

Interior
The home has naturally grown as the family has grown, with a conservatory extension enhancing the main living area and creating a light-filled, comfortable space to gather. The kitchen truly is the heart of the home, open to the dining area and centred around a cosy wood burner with wetback — a space designed for connection, warmth, and everyday living. A good-sized family bathroom services the home, while two of the main bedrooms enjoy direct flow to the sun-drenched decks via ranch sliders, making the most of both light and outlook.
Exterior
Outdoor living is a real highlight here. The extended decking offers excellent privacy and is perfectly positioned to capture the sun, creating an inviting place to relax or entertain. Set on a classic Kiwi quarter-acre section, the grounds provide space to enjoy without feeling overwhelming, all framed by expansive views across the rolling hills that stretch for miles.

Features
For those who value flexibility, this property delivers in spades. Boat lovers will appreciate the high-pitched boat port, while the newest addition — a high-stud, fully insulated garage (including an insulated garage door) — significantly extends the usability of this space year-round. Beyond this, an additional bathroom and a step-down studio with its own private deck open up a world of options, whether for extended family, guests, work-from-home, or a self-contained retreat. This is a home that adapts easily to different stages of life.

Location
Karitane offers a truly special lifestyle — whether you’re seeking a peaceful holiday escape or a place to call home full-time. With a strong sense of community, local schooling, and the beach close by, it’s a village that welcomes all ages and stages. Waikouaiti is just up the road, providing easy access to shops and everyday amenities.

Whether you’re looking for a much-loved holiday retreat, a flexible family home, or a property that can evolve with you over time, 20 Kerr Street offers something genuinely special — space, privacy, and lifestyle in one of Karitane’s most settled and sought-after pockets.
