Tucked away up a private drive and commanding uninterrupted, panoramic views of the Otago Harbour, this exceptional property presents a rare opportunity at the $799,000 level, an opportunity that will undoubtably generate strong buyer interest and is expected to be highly sought-after.
Offering a three-bedroom, two-bathroom main home plus a fully self-contained two-bedroom apartment, this residence delivers outstanding versatility, abundant space, and true lifestyle appeal. The ability to live upstairs or down while renting the other level provides a valuable and reliable income stream, an increasingly desirable feature in today's market and a key reason to act quickly.
Set on a 7480sqm (+/-) , the property strikes the perfect balance between semi-rural privacy and city convenience. Dunedin City is just a short drive away, or an easy cycle along the shared harbour walkway, making this one of the most accessible lifestyle opportunities available.
Lower Level - Income Potential or Extended Living
The downstairs accommodation, with both internal and external access, offers remarkable flexibility. Featuring two bedrooms, a bathroom, laundry, and open-plan living with a full kitchen, this area is ideal for extended family, guests, or permanent rental income. It can even be purchased furnished for an effortless handover which is perfect for investors or immediate rental use.
Upper Level - Light, Views, and Effortless Living
Upstairs, sun-filled living spaces capture breath taking harbour views stretching toward Macandrew and Company Bays. Double glazing, three bedrooms (including master with ensuite), an office, family bathroom, and a spacious open-plan kitchen/living area create a warm and inviting environment. The living spaces flow seamlessly to a sunny deck, a large covered entertaining and spa room, and a sheltered patio, ensuring year-round enjoyment. There is also a stair lift from the driveway to ensure accessibility to this level for those with limited mobility.
Garaging and Parking
A large double basement garage with internal access, an additional standalone garage, carport, and generous off-street parking provide ample room for vehicles, including a campervan or boat, ideal for those who love to make the most of the harbour lifestyle.
Your Harbour-Side Lifestyle Awaits
With expansive views, exceptional space, flexible living options, and the ability to generate ongoing income, all less than 10 minutes from the city, 36 Burkes Drive represents outstanding buying at this level. Properties with this combination of views, proximity, and versatility seldom last.
I encourage early viewing, homes offering so much at $799,000 are rare, and buyer demand is expected to be high.
