Step Inside this Devonport Dream Home
Kiwi beachside living meets a European elegance is this breathtaking architecturally designed home in the heart of Auckland's Devonport. 

Beachside living meets true European elegance in this breathtaking architecturally designed home in the heart of Devonport, Auckland.

Don’t let the streetside facade of this spectacular home deceive you. While it’s undeniably charming from the get-go, it’s not until you step through the front doors that you’ll begin to discover what could be called one of Devonport’s best-kept secrets.

In recent years, the turn-of-the-century cottage has undergone a contemporary transformation under the acclaimed hands of Fearon Hay Architects.  Today the property fuses the best of modern elegance with the character of the home’s original elements – including timeless Kauri floors –  to create an unparalleled living experience.

The front door opens onto an expansive living area which features high stud, open fireplaces and custom wood shutters. It’s from here you can catch glimpses of the ocean view; Cheltenham Beach is just footsteps away.

With the beach almost at the front door, this home was designed with sun-drenched Kiwi summers in mind. A large, sun-lit filled European-style internal courtyard made for entertaining is at the heart of the home.

Over the summer months, the kitchen and courtyard become one as the full-height stacking steel and glass doors open to create seamless indoor and outdoor flow between the two spaces.

The flow between inside and out continues with the home’s four spacious bedrooms, each opening to the outdoors. The master bedroom and one other adjoin the courtyard, while the two remaining bedrooms are connected to the expertly landscaped back garden. Both of the home’s bathrooms are fitted out with luxurious European finishings and tapware.

The best part is that you no longer have to dream about this unique home – you could step foot inside it and call it your own.

The property is up for auction with Bayleys on 29 July. Click here to find out more or call Victoria Bidwell on +64 21 947 080.
