This classic 620sqm home has enough rooms to keep your children busy playing hide and seek for days.
Built in 1932 brick family home set on a generous section in St Clair, Dunedin, is marketed by Ray White agent Madelon White.
Owners Lyn and Malcolm Farry, who have lived in the house for 36 years, said they never took their spectacular home for granted.
The house has six bedrooms, multiple entertainment areas, a formal dining room and a separate building for games room and bar – which was perfect for Farry’s family with eight children.

“It’s been a wonderful place to live in. We are reluctant to sell but hope some family will enjoy it as much as we have,” Lyn says.
The house has a fireplace in the entry hallway, a billiard table and a cosy TV room.
Lyn describes architecture as incredible with “art and craft” design where carved doors, plastered ceiling and polished floors are her favourite features.
The family have significantly redecorated the house and renovated the kitchen, however they have always followed its original character.
“We had never tried to change it into a contemporary home. This is a treasure and we worked hard to keep it that way.”
Thick brick walls and a big front yard make the house “calm and peaceful” despite its central location on the busy road of St Clair, Lyn says.
The 1939sqm section also has a seven-car garage and an established garden.
The freehold coastal property is a ten-minute drive away from Dunedin Central, has two schools less than a kilometre away and is next to public transport stations.
