Nestled in the prestigious suburb of Sunshine, Dunedin, Brinkburn is a distinguished residence of grand proportions and historical significance.

A sweeping staircase ascends to four generous bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a stunning sunroom featuring the signature arched windows that define Brinkburn’s timeless character. The master suite boasts a spacious dressing room and an large bathroom complete with an original clawfoot bath.

With polished timber floors, intricate leadlight windows, rimu joinery, and ornate timber ceilings, this home is a masterpiece of preserved heritage with added contemporary features including diesel-fired central heating and the addition of some double glazing. Several outbuildings include a single garage with work bench, a purpose-built bike shed, and lean-to shed. A wood storage room and a generous laundry area can be accessed from the kitchen.
