The grand kauri villa was crafted in the 1880s and is a showpiece of exquisite craftsmanship and heritage architecture with feature lead-lights, original kauri floorboards, high ceilings and sash windows. It has a spacious and flexible layout and is beautifully light and sunny with open plan living areas, and eight ensuited bedrooms two of which are garden rooms with their own entrance on the ground level. Alfresco entertaining decks overlook the peaceful and private, north-facing garden, which is regularly visited by native birds. The property has convenient vehicle entry from Buchanan Street around the corner, which accesses the parking area out here too.
Everything Devonport has to offer is just a few short steps from the front gate. The beach and playground are across the street, and the numerous cafes, restaurants, bars and shops line the main road. The Ferry is just a two-minute stroll away, for trips to the CBD for work and play.
