A landmark Dunedin Central residence of genuine historic significance, this grand heritage home “Bankton” was built for Rev Dr Thomas Burns in the late 1860s and offers an exceptional inner-city living opportunity. Set on an established, private and sunny section, the substantial home delivers five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a rare level of scale so close to the University, Hospital and CBD. Blossom-lined paths with buxus border hedging lead to the formal entrance foyer, where timber panelling, beautiful hardwood floors and the balcony above immediately establish the calibre of the home. Formal dining flows to the lounge, with both rooms connected by a sunroom, while across the hall the billiards room opens through to the family dining and kitchen. This informal family living space connects directly to the courtyard, flat lawn and delightful established garden. A laundry with external access completes the ground floor. On the mezzanine level is the modern tiled family bathroom, while the second level provides a generous master suite with built-in wardrobe storage, stunning views towards the St Clair beach coastline, a tiled ensuite with bath and walk-in shower, and access to the upper balcony with harbour views. Two special double bedrooms connect via the upper sunroom, with the green room enjoying its own private sunroom capturing late afternoon sun, while a further two additional bedrooms complete the accommodation. With exquisite character details throughout including timber panelling and floors, stained glass leadlight windows, internal arches, ornate ceilings, and open fireplaces. Fitted with a diesel central radiator heating system, extensive rewiring and complete with double carport and off street parking. This admired city home is ready for its next custodian.
