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.
Sitting in an elevated position on a generous 1,027sqm section, this much-admired two-bedroom 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 within 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 main home is the original dwelling - a rare concave paneled ceiling speaks to its early origins. Re-roofed with insulation at the same time as the cottage, it has otherwise remained untouched for some years - a blank canvas for future upgrades, or a value adding project, and an opportunity to accommodate extended family, guests, teenagers, a work-from-home space, 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.
