An absolute landmark property (once known as Pentlands) dating back to 1893 and one of the very original Devonport villas. Set on a generous 971sqm site with a gigantic garden in the heart of the village, it has served many different purposes over its life, with the very recent renovation cleverly reconfiguring the extensive floor plan to offer two homes in one - a generous four-bedroom family villa along with a newly created, totally separate 3-bedroom luxury apartment. This new incarnation provides enough space for a big family to live very comfortably in the main villa, with the huge bonus of being able to have extended family living independently close by (but not with you!), or alternatively, you may rent it out to significantly supplement your mortgage.

Heritage features and gracious proportions have been reinvigorated with captivating contemporary style, achieving the perfect balance of old and new. The four super-sized bedrooms all have built in wardrobes and the north-facing lounge is a quiet place to relax, while the office is the ideal work from home spot. Spectacular and ever-changing views over the village to the City beyond are showcased from the dining, casual living and chef's kitchen, which flows out to west facing elevated verandas.

The spacious luxury apartment downstairs has its own entrance and is finished to a very high standard. Three bedrooms, also with built-in wardrobes, are serviced by two bathrooms and there is a large separate lounge and designer kitchen. It garners rental income from upwards of $1000 per week.

The gigantic garden is flat, private and there's plenty of space to pop in a pool or even set up a cricket pitch. All this plus an abundance of storage, a double garage and plenty of off-street parking.

Centrally located in the heart of historical Devonport, with the beach at the end of the street and the ferry that can whisk you into Auckland City makes this a Kiwi Dream commuter's haven.
