11 Stanley Point Road, Devonport, North Shore City, Auckland

This is one of Devonport’s very best homes, and with our Vendors on the move down south, they are highly motivated to sell. The opportunity to be its next custodians is one you would be crazy to miss. Watch the video now to hear this home's story.

With magnificent Auckland harbour views and a right of way down to the beach, this extraordinary Arts and Crafts residence has been masterfully restored, refurbished and expanded over time. The 1424sqm estate savours a prime position on peaceful and prestigious Stanley Point and is enveloped within mature grounds and private gardens landscaped to reflect the elegance of the landmark home. A direct north south aspect also ensures there is an al fresco space to enjoy during all seasons.

‘Anderleigh’ was built in the early 1920s by prominent Art and Crafts architect Gerald Jones for Alex Harvey – a titan of New Zealand industry. Today, the solid structure and many original features have been retained and enhanced with contemporary luxuries, as well as a floorplan more conducive to modern living and entertaining.

Impressive interiors incorporate American Oak, Italian marble, tongue and groove ceilings, lead-lights and Oamaru stone fireplaces (two gas and one open). Gallery-style walls also present extensive space for displaying artworks. The kitchen and sunroom are the social hub of the home, with the kitchen boasting a hand-built La Cornue oven, a scullery and large island with integrated appliances and topped with a slab of Oregon timber taken from one of the original house walls.

A series of formal and informal living and dining spaces each enjoy dazzling and ever-changing harbour views and flow out to the inground pool complex and sheltered private terrace. Below this area an intimate spa pool sits beneath a gazebo, along with a glasshouse and vege gardens. A right of way path leads straight down to the water’s edge of the bay below - this property is one of only a handful that are blessed with direct beach access.

All bedrooms are located upstairs. The guest room has an ensuite, while the two large additional bedrooms are serviced by the main bathroom. The master sanctuary captures inspirational harbour views and the sounds of birds and boats, plus has two walk-in robes and a bathroom.

The separate Summer House overlooks the front English country garden. Comprising a bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette, it comfortably houses long term visitors, extended family or lucky teens. Along with two garages (one single, one tandem), there is secure off-street parking for several vehicles.
