Sitting on an elevated, generous 1,027sqm section, this much-admired two-bedroom character cottage, with a fully self-contained one-bedroom second dwelling tucked away behind, is the perfect blend of heritage charm, coastal lifestyle, and flexible living; a winning combination. The golden sands of Narrow Neck Beach are moments away, and there’s something very soothing about the sound of waves on the shore. With Wakatere Boating Club and Waitemata Golf Club practically on your doorstep, there’s a relaxed way of life waiting for you here in Devonport's warm and welcoming community.
The main residence underwent a partial renovation a little over 10 years ago, retaining many original character features – including a cosy inglenook fireplace. Peace of mind and year-round comfort have been considered with the house having been re-piled, re-roofed, and insulated in the ceiling, underfloor, and some of the walls, with ducted central heating/cooling added. A spacious, light-filled living room stretches from the front of the home to the back, with windows on three sides capturing all day sun and a view of Rangitoto Island across the water.
Privately positioned behind the picturesque cottage at the front of the property is a self-contained second dwelling. Re-roofed at the same time as the cottage, it has otherwise remained untouched for many years - a blank canvas for future upgrades, or a value adding project, and an opportunity to incorporate into the main home, accommodate extended family, guests, teenagers, or generate an income.
Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic seaside sanctuary, or a project with serious upside, this property offers the foundation to create something truly special. Keep the character, renovate, update, or reimagine to unlock the full potential of this incredibly special heritage home - it's waiting for you to write its next chapter.
