A substantial contemporary family home with a beautiful story at its heart. Built in 1982 for a hardworking Croatian immigrant family who became well known in Devonport through their much-loved fish and chip shop, fondly remembered by many locals, including my younger self. Thoughtfully designed for comfort, proportion and everyday family living, the original villa on the site was relocated so a respected local builder could construct this home, with
character features such as a bay window and witch’s hat roofline giving a nod to surrounding villas.
Inside, rooms are generously sized yet balanced, creating a wonderful sense of space without feeling oversized. Sunlight moves through the home, filling the front bay window, then the very spacious kitchen with a great layout and room for all the cooks, before reaching the rear deck later in the day. Quality rimu doors, frames and skirtings add warmth, while the layout ensures a quiet, comfortable living environment.
Versatile living has always been key, with a second lounge easily serving as a fourth bedroom. Built for comfort, with a warm-in-winter, cool-in-summer design that makes daily living effortless. The home flows beautifully from all living areas to the north-facing deck and out to the garden, which is fully fenced and has room for a pool if desired, enhancing its appeal for family life. Excellent storage, a generous double garage with internal access and
a workshop complete this package.
Chosen for its easy walk to the village and the ferry, the location remains one of its greatest strengths. Local primary schools are a short walk away, and a dairy and cafe across the road add convenience. Modern family properties like this are rare in central Devonport – don’t miss this opportunity.
