As well as celebrating a sensational location close to Devonport village, this renovated home also enjoys an enormous north-facing back garden oasis. The elevated home’s spacious, two-level floorplan is another bonus for family life, with lovely harbour views captured from the top floor parent’s retreat.

As well as enhancing the aesthetics, the major transformation has incorporated many modern must-haves, including full rewiring, extensive double glazing, full insulation and a heat pump. Polished Rimu flooring is complemented with a crisp white colour palette, while large windows illuminate the rooms with plenty of natural light and sun from all sides.

The open plan kitchen, dining and family living area flows out to a north-facing deck, which steps down to the enormous back garden. Expansive flat lawns are framed with mature trees. There is endless space for kids to play and explore out here, as well as room for a pool.

Back inside, the office/homework nook is equipped with high speed internet and flows into the elegant formal lounge or cosy evening retreat. Three double bedrooms are located along the entrance hall and are serviced by the family bathroom. Upstairs is dedicated to the master retreat and ensuite, with the sitting area filled with sea breezes and enjoying elevated glimpses of the sparkling harbour beyond.

The internal garage is equipped with a handy third bathroom, which is perfect for rinsing off after a dip at the beach or washing the dog. The fact that there is two additional off-street parks also provides options for turning this space into a kids zone or rumpus room.

This neighbourhood is immersed in Devonport village life, with local primary schools just a short walk away and convenient bus links to higher-level schools. Enjoy a morning coffee at a nearby cafe before strolling down the walkway or Huia Street to the village and the 12-minute ferry ride into the city centre.
