TWILIGHT OPEN HOME - WEDNESDAY 5:30-6:30PM. Located between two of Devonport's most popular beaches, this double bay villa offers an amazing opportunity for one very lucky buyer. With spacious rooms and soaring ceiling heights this home has many original features and a wonderful history. The story goes that the huge lounge room was once used as a 'dance floor' for visiting troops during the war and to this day has the original polished kauri floor still in place.
There are three generous bedrooms, all with wardrobes and two living rooms. If you required a fourth bedroom the front lounge room could easily accommodate a queen size bed. The main bedroom includes a small dressing room and en-suite that were originally part of the front verandah. There are two additional bathrooms, and a small area which is used as a utility room and has space for the sewing machine and ironing board.
The kitchen is located at the rear of the house with doors opening out to a covered back deck that traps the afternoon sun and provides a wonderful place to entertain no matter the weather. Although largely original this area would respond well to a makeover, with the basics of a scullery and good indoor-outdoor flow making this achievable.
This is a large 710 m2 (more or less) site and as the home is positioned further back from the street front, you have the benefit of a large front lawn which has been used over the years for many a game of cricket and a great place for the kids when learning to ride a bike. The section is flat and can be fully fenced. There is a carport positioned at the front and a garage down the driveway to the side.
This home is the epitome of Devonport, a lovely big boned villa with scope to improve over time or just enjoy as this family has for the past 38 years. The location is so handy to the local schools and Cheltenham shops, where you are spoilt for choice with great cafes. Waitemata golf club is so close you can walk there with your trundler.
