Contemporary family living by the beach

Forget buying a bach, this contemporary Devonport home ticks all the boxes for care-free family living by the beach. It's all about the lifestyle here - picture walking just two minutes to Cheltenham beach for a swim or paddleboard, then back home to rinse off under your outdoor shower and enjoying a long soak in the spa pool afterwards, or pop into the local café on the way home for the very best coffee and croissants.

The spacious 1970's block and weatherboard home has been majorly re-built and expanded to showcase captivating modern style and a functional, flexible floorplan, with added essentials such as double glazing, sky lights and floor to ceiling bi-folds welcoming the light indoors.

Upstairs, the expansive, open plan living dining and kitchen space flows out to beautifully private, north-facing outdoor living. The covered patio becomes another room for all-weather entertaining, while platforms of flat lawn are enveloped with lush, established plantings. This area absorbs a crowd beautifully and has been a place where many special occasions have been celebrated by the current owners.

There are three generous bedrooms, two bathrooms and an office located on the main floor, including the spacious master suite that enjoys elevated Mount Victoria views, a walk-in robe and brand new ensuite.

Downstairs, the oversized fourth bedroom has its own ensuite and can double as accommodation for long term visitors or extended family, a rumpus or media room. Also down here are a large storage room, the laundry and internal double garaging. The property is protected by electric security gates and the entire 675sqm site is fully fenced, so is very safe for kids and pets.

Along with Cheltenham beach, the well-connected neighbourhood is also within easy walking distance from Narrow Neck beach, local shops, cafes and eateries, and the Waitemata Golf Club. Devonport village and ferry are also an easy bike or scooter ride away.
