This gracious homestead, lovingly referred to as their grand dame by the current owners, celebrates an enticing combination of heritage elegance, grand proportions and an abundance of space, plus is located just a three-minute stroll from the Devonport village and ferry into Auckland CBD. To top this the current owners are on the move to Europe and would love to have another loving family own this beautiful home for well less than its CV of $5,330,000. An opportunity not to be missed.

Its coveted position, overlooking the village and harbour, also showcases classically Devonport views – out over the treetops and roof tops to the busy Auckland harbour beyond.

Those with a passion for richly detailed period design will love the swathe of intricate, elegant original features on display here, both inside and out, which have been enhanced with luxurious modern essentials. Inspired consideration of space has also created ample room for extended family, long-term guests or teenagers to live independently.

A deep wraparound entrance veranda opens into the voluminous entrance hall, where the traditional villa footprint sees four bedrooms and three bathrooms located off it. This includes the romantic master retreat with ensuite off to one side, and another equally luxurious bedroom suite that has a sitting area, outdoor access, ensuite and walk-in robe.

Cosey winter evenings are a dream in the separate lounge, which has a window seat and gas fire. Walls of bifold windows in the kitchen and large, open-plan living and dining room showcase the expansive and ever-changing outlook. Indoor outdoor flow is seamlessly achieved with the generous new deck and private spa pool area.

With its own private entrance, the ground floor offers another two bedrooms and bathrooms, plus open plan living/dining and kitchenette. This area is flooded with natural light and is still immersed in the views. There is also a double internal-access garage with generous storage, as well as off-street parking for multiple cars on the driveway.

The landscaped grounds are protected by electric security gates, ensuring privacy and a safe space for kids and pets to play, and there is even room for a pool.
