We're searching for new guardians to continue the story of this much-loved Devonport character home - and the native microforest that's grown alongside it for over 40 years. Set on a generous freehold section, this isn't just a property; it's a living legacy, ready for someone who values its history, wants to continue the story and sees its future potential! Wander through the garden and you'll understand what makes this home special - birdsong fills the air, dappled sunlight filters through mature trees, and there's a sense of calm that's hard to find so close to the city. It's a quiet, safe pocket of Devonport, where nature and neighbourhood meet. Surrounded by friendly people, leafy streets, and a leisurely stroll to the village cafes, shops, and ferries to Auckland's CBD. Inside, the home offers three bedrooms, an office, and a large garage - a solid base for those with vision. It's packed with character and charm, yet ready for a refresh from builders, renovators, or DIY enthusiasts who can see the beauty behind the basics. Whether you're restoring, extending, or reinventing, the canvas is yours to create something truly special. You'll be in zone for some of the North Shore's best schools and spoilt for choice when it comes to beaches - whether it's a morning dip, a paddleboard at sunset, or a family picnic on the sand. There's no need for a pool when nature's finest is right around the corner. Opportunities like this don't come often - a freehold character home, generous garden, and outstanding location, all within reach of the village and ferry. For those ready to roll up their sleeves and imagine what's possible, this is your invitation to become part of one of the most sought-after neighbourhoods on the North Shore.
