44 Aberdeen Road, St Clair, Dunedin

Architectural mid century gem with coastal views

Designed by celebrated architect Ted McCoy in 1957 and built in 1958, this striking mid-century home is a rare architectural treasure. Elevated for privacy, sun, and exceptional coastal views, it offers a unique opportunity to secure a timeless retreat in sought-after St Clair, just minutes from the beach, cafés, and popular Esplanade.

Set on a 505 sqm established allotment, the home's signature split-level layout, generous windows maximising sunlight and views, and thoughtful detailing reflect the hallmarks of modernist design.
