Cute-as Cottage with huge garden

If you dream of living in a character Devonport home but you still want a big garden for your kids to run wild, you will know just how hard it is to find one that you can actually afford to buy in this very sought-after family friendly area, where villas on big sites normally come with big price tags taking them out of reach for young families…. the good news is that your search may be over.

This cute-as classic 1910 cottage villa is set on a generous site of some 2/3 share of 964sqm with exclusive use rights, affording it a huge dream-come-true garden for families with young kids who love to run wild in nature.

The cottage has been cleverly expanded and stylishly refreshed with young families in mind. The well-connected, light-filled spaces work perfectly for life with kids. The traditional front entrance, with its charming veranda and cottage gardens, opens into the foyer, with one bedroom and the generous family lounge located off either side. Original heritage features have been elevated with crisp white paint and new carpets inside, and the large skylight illuminates the central kitchen and dining zone at the hub of the home. The sun floods in here in the morning, then into the lounge in the afternoon. Two more bedrooms are serviced by two bathrooms, and the inside flows out to the generous covered deck for all-season entertaining. Extensive storage throughout the home is a major bonus, with all bedrooms enjoying good wardrobing.

A single garage has covered access through to the house and the separate laundry is practical for family life. The extra building outside makes an ideal home office, or breakout room. The tool and garden sheds each offer extra storage and workspace.

This sought-after neighbourhood is incredibly popular with families and enjoys a friendly vibe. Kids can walk or bike to Belmont Primary, Belmont Intermediate and Takapuna Grammar School, while the Devonport village and ferry is just a short drive away.
