In 1986, the current owners commissioned James Hackshaw, one of the founding ‘Group' architects, to design this three plus bedroom home, nestled into what is almost the very end of Aramoana Ave, Devonport, with water views through the Pohutukawa trees. Special, unique, rare - this is a home infused with the architecture made so popular by the mid-century movement.

Set over three levels, the brief to the architect when creating this bespoke home was to capture the views and the essence of living in such a quiet haven, almost as if living amongst the trees. The characteristics of this design era are evident, emphasised through the home's form and flow with the clever built-in shelving and storage, well-placed doors and windows that frame the views, capture the light, and display the stunning sunsets, and most importantly, bring the outdoors in. More recently, the home was further enhanced by architect Justin Marler, who ensured his renovation tweaked some of those earlier design features along with giving the kitchen a facelift.

Of the three original bedrooms (master with ensuite downstairs), there is an additional studio room (this could potentially be used as a fourth bedroom), and an upstairs' office with stunning views and sunsets (a possible fifth bedroom) - all with good separation - plus there is internal access garaging. The sunny deck at the front of the house acts as the perfect platform to watch the world go by, and the garden is abundant with fruit bearing trees. There's even a little-known playground across the road at Holloway Reserve, complete with swings and a picnic table.

The only owners this home has ever known are reluctant but genuine sellers. This is a distinctive and rare find that will appeal to buyers who think outside the box and enjoy different.
