Cheltenham is a tightly-held and highly sought-after family-friendly neighbourhood, with an all-year-round holiday vibe. Ocean swimmers, coastal walkers and families alike rate this white sandy beach as one of Auckland's best. Historical Devonport village with its shops, restaurants and cafes is an easy stroll from home, as is the ferry which takes you into the heart of Auckland City in just 10 minutes.

Jones Architects masterminded the seamless transition from old to new, with finishing touches by interior designers Cheltenham Road. Captivating original features have been retained and restored at the front of the home, with the expansive new addition at the rear celebrating a stylish and spacious family haven.

The four generous bedrooms and main bathroom are located off the wide entrance hall, with the master boasting a walk-in wardrobe and luxurious ensuite. Dark timber floors flow into the open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, with second lounge area, while the chef's kitchen has a large granite waterfall island.

A wall of glass sliders opens out to the Louvretec-covered deck, for all-year round al fresco living, flowing to north-facing lawns framed with tropical landscaping, and space for a pool.

The garden cottage has a kitchenette and its own bathroom. It's adjacent to the oversized double garage, and has additional off-street parking.

Opportunities to buy an exquisitely renovated home so close to the beach in Cheltenham are very rare.
