2 Roebuck Rise, Broad Bay, Dunedin City, Otago

Welcome to 2 Roebuck Rise, Broad Bay, where life feels a little slower, a little calmer, and wonderfully connected. Positioned right behind Broad Bay Primary School, this is true community living. Children can walk to school, neighbours know each other, and the harbour and hills become part of your everyday backdrop. Originally built circa 1935 and significantly updated and expanded in the 1990s, this substantial 285sqm home blends character and practicality across three flexible levels. Set on a generous 1,329sqm section, there is space here to grow, adapt and truly settle in. Step inside and you immediately feel the warmth, timber floors underfoot, moody tones, and beautiful wood detailing that honour the home’s era while still feeling fresh and inviting. The front lounge is light-filled and peaceful, with large picture windows capturing elevated views and drawing the outdoors in. Recently repainted in calming hues, this space feels restful and refined. A woodburner creates cosy ambience through the cooler months, complemented by heat pumps for year-round comfort. New honeycomb blinds and quality drapes complete the room beautifully, and doors allow the lounge to be closed off if you’d like a second living space or a quiet retreat. The kitchen and dining area flow openly together, generous in scale and designed for real family living. There’s extensive bench space, quality appliances, and a lovely sage green palette that pairs perfectly with the warm timber. From here, step out to a private patio area, ideal for summer dinners, morning coffee and listening to the birds in the surrounding gardens. Also on this level is the extra-large master bedroom, offering great storage and lovely views, along with a guest bedroom, tiled family bathroom, separate laundry and a practical mudroom, perfect after beach walks or busy school days. Upstairs, two further bedrooms enjoy elevated vantage points and peaceful outlooks, one with its own ensuite, creating flexibility for teenagers, guests or extended family. The separation across three levels makes this home incredibly adaptable for families at every stage. Downstairs adds even more versatility, with a large office or hobbies room and a second workshop, ideal for working from home, creative pursuits or simply extra space to spread out. Outside, the 1,329sqm section feels like a private sanctuary. Established native plantings provide privacy and attract incredible birdlife, while fruit trees and a sun-drenched front lawn offer space to relax and unwind. It’s peaceful, sheltered and wonderfully alive. With ceiling and floor insulation, heat pumps, a woodburner, a single garage with storage and an attached carport, the home balances character with comfort. But what truly sets it apart is the lifestyle, the warmth of the Broad Bay community, the ease of having the school just behind you, and the relaxed rhythm of bay living. 2 Roebuck Rise is a home with history, heart and remarkable flexibility, in a place pe
