Priceless in Port Chalmers
Rarely are we presented with a home that offers so much quality, opportunity, character, and charm and, as an added bonus, a slice of Port Chalmers and Dunedin history.
Designed by Mason & Wales and built-in 1907 by Dr. William Borrie as a family home and practice, this magnificent home is now awaiting new owners to continue the stewardship of this slice of history. Intrigue and wonder await at every turn. The original doctors' surgery now forms the perfect office, complete with the original door through to what was once the waiting room. Across the hallway and you're provided with a choice of living spaces from the cosy lounge, to the grand dining room.
A wide entrance and hallway provide the link to these rooms and boast one of the home's finest features, the original kauri staircase that weaves its way to the upper level. Here you'll find five spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms, the original of which still features pressed tin walls.
Period features abound such as leadlight windows, ornate kauri fireplaces, pressed tin ceilings, rimu floors, and built-in bookcases. A wraparound sun veranda and upper balcony provide wide views back to the city and over Port Chalmers, A special feature is the self-contained downstairs rumpus/studio on the basement level, and gardeners will revel in the landscaped country garden.
There is much to admire, and those who appreciate the timeless character a home of this quality offers will not be disappointed.
With a heavy heart my owners have secured their next home and now seek the next custodians for 27 Currie Street. This home will be sold and the time has come to make your own history in Port Chalmers.
