Dowling Street, City Centre, Otago

Upon acquiring this apartment in 2022, nestled within a historic hotel dating back to the 1880s, the current owner envisioned transforming it into a tastefully decorated sanctuary seamlessly marrying character, quality and style.  Preserving the essence of its Victorian and industrial architectural heritage was paramount, all while fostering a cosy ambience right in the heart of the city.  Teaming up with an interior designer, these aspirations were splendidly realised.  The refurbishment included heating installation, new carpet, flooring and tiling throughout, a complete repaint, new lighting integrated with Philips Hue system, and a completely new designer bathroom and kitchen with F & P appliances.  Nothing was left unchanged!

The stunning kitchen exudes an air of elegance, openness and warmth yet entirely practical and functional with extensive storage, enhanced in part by the innovative mirrored glass splashback.  It has a Quartz benchtop, and the small breakfast bar offers a spot for casual dining.  The adjoining living area boasts ample space, allowing for the creation of distinct zones to suit various needs and preferences.

Arches are a recurring motif found throughout the home, extending into the generously sized bedrooms.  Each bedroom is equipped with a built-in wardrobe, and additional storage was created in a separate walk-in cupboard.

Step into the bathroom, where a striking vanity and shower catches the eye, with Italian quality tapware.  Additionally, cleverly integrated within is a cupboard designed for laundry, maximising space efficiency while maintaining a sleek aesthetic.  There is a separate toilet with a handbasin.

As you open the large double doors to step outside, you're greeted by the realisation that Princes Street is mere steps away, with the vibrant energy of the Octagon close at hand as well as the hospital and university within walking distance - truly immersing you in the excitement of inner-city living.

Please note, an adjacent leased secure carpark is available.
