2A Edna Street, Ocean View, Dunedin

A sacred space, beautifully reimagined

Set on a generous 754sqm section, once a place of worship and now worshipped as a much-loved family home, 2A Edna Street is a truly special property. Formerly Saint Andrews Catholic Church, this remarkable building was completely and thoughtfully transformed in 2014 through a genuine labour of love by the current owner. What was gained was not only additional space and modern functionality, but a home filled with warmth, cherished memories, and a sense of family magic that is felt from the moment you enter.

Step through the pronounced front door into a breathtaking open-plan kitchen, living, and dining space where soaring ceilings, high feature windows, and two sets of stacker doors flood the home with sunshine and natural light. This is a space that feels both grand and welcoming. The large, modern kitchen is superbly appointed with a walk-in pantry, generous preparation space, and a breakfast bar ideal for casual dining.

Comfort has been carefully considered, with the central living zone heated by a striking Tarras Woodsman wood burner, supported by two heat pumps, one located in the hallway, and substantial insulation throughout the home.

As part of the renovation, a thoughtfully designed additional wing was added, providing three double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master suite is positioned at the end of this wing and enjoys a peaceful, private setting with a walk-in wardrobe, a well-appointed ensuite featuring a large shower, vanity, and toilet, and direct access onto the deck with a lovely garden outlook. This is a tranquil retreat within the home. The hallway leading to the remaining two bedrooms is bathed in natural light, enhanced by sliding doors and large picture windows that connect beautifully to the outdoors.

Further practical features include a separate laundry, a fabulous walk-in storage cupboard, and an incredibly functional family bathroom complete with bath, shower, and vanity.

Outside, the fully fenced section is ideal for children and growing families. A large double garage with an automatic door offers excellent storage and workshop potential, while a container positioned at the rear of the property provides versatile additional storage for a wide range of needs. Off-street parking is very generous.

Other key features include full double glazing, exceptional storage throughout with large wardrobes in all bedrooms, fabulous sunshine, and a level of care and maintenance that is immediately evident. Positioned within a relaxed ocean-view community close to beautiful beaches, this is a location known for its friendly neighbours, village-like atmosphere, and strong sense of community.

The vendor has created a home she has felt truly blessed to enjoy, a place filled with love, laughter, and treasured family memories. Now ready to pass this exceptional property on to new custodians, this is a rare opportunity to own something genuinely special and continue the story of a home that has been created and cared for with heart.
