This grand old villa has been cherished by the same family for the past three decades and is a fabulous family home. The character features are so abundant and villa lovers will simply adore this house. The home sits very comfortably on the corner site. The front door with its coloured glass panels opens to a wide hallway and welcomes you through to the heart of the home. On the way, there are three bedrooms, a living area and a bathroom, two of which have fireplaces. The kitchen epitomizes relaxed family living with a Rosieres Paul Bocuse cooking range and a brick chimney with a wood burner. The open plan living and dining area lead through to the bricked courtyard just perfect for summer entertaining. Off the living is a fourth bedroom and bathroom which could be easily closed off along with the front bedroom and living room to recreate the bed and breakfast situation that once existed here. Upstairs is the fifth bedroom with bathroom and living area plus plenty of storage under the eaves. A separate laundry and carport complete this wonderful home. Surrounded by some of the best homes that Devonport can offer and sitting between Devonport and Cheltenham beaches and close to the ferry for the CBD, restaurants, library and cinema, this home is very much the ultimate dream. 9 Tainui Road is a very special home and awaits a new family to love and cherish it.
