8 Short Street, Waitati, Dunedin City

Welcome to 8 Short Street, Waitati - A breathtaking waterfront location, situated right on the edge of picturesque Blueskin Bay. Nestled on an expansive 1,963 square metre section, this exceptional property offers a rare combination of privacy, luxury, and natural beauty - a true sanctuary just a short 15-20 minute drive from the city.

Thoughtfully redesigned, and extensively renovated, the home blends contemporary style with timeless comfort and with the help of a major extension, has been transformed into a spacious and sunlit luxury retreat.

On the lower level, expansive open plan living and dining areas are kept comfortable all year round by a discrete ceiling mounted air conditioning / heap pump and a large wood burner, perfect for cozy evenings. A designer kitchen takes centre stage with a large island bench and a clever rain-sensitive skylight that closes automatically if the weather changes unexpectedly. A generous walk-in utility room adds practicality to the layout, with additional bench space and pantry storage as well as a laundry area with external access. Two double bedrooms, one opening directly to the outdoors, and a stylish bathroom with under floor heating, complete the lower level.

On the upper level you will find a spacious landing that serves as an ideal office, creative space, or simply another vantage point to relax and enjoy the captivating vista. Two additional double bedrooms also enjoy the stunning views across the bay, with the master featuring a walk-in wardrobe. A second bathroom with luxurious bath, walk in shower and under floor heating finishes off this upper level in style.

Back downstairs, large trifold and stacker doors open out to a spectacular deck and mature garden, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow that's perfect for entertaining. The swim-spa is great for both fitness and leisure and is complemented by a nearby outdoor shower.

A separate studio with loft and infrared sauna provides a versatile space, while the double garage, also with loft space, adds even more room for storage or creative pursuits.

Meandering paths wind through lush, bush-clad gardens - a secret oasis featuring abundant birdlife and glimpses of the bay at nearly every turn, and with the water's edge just steps from your garden, you can launch your kayak or paddleboard straight into the water whenever the mood strikes.

To experience the magic of 8 Short Street for yourself, pop along to an open home or get in touch today to arrange a private viewing. There is limited parking available just across the railway line.
