5 Allenby Avenue, Devonport, North Shore

Timeless treasure awaiting its next chapter

Standing proudly since 1913 and lovingly held by the same family for more than 40 years, this grand transitional villa presents an exceptionally rare opportunity to secure a piece of Devonport's rich heritage.

Offered to the market as a deceased estate, this 170sqm character-filled home is ready for its next custodian to undertake a careful and sympathetic restoration, unlocking the full potential of this remarkable property.

The upper level offers three bedrooms, two spacious living areas, a family bathroom, and a kitchen that flows effortlessly onto a covered deck overlooking the mature, established gardens on a full 655sqm site.
Downstairs, a self-contained one-bedroom granny flat provides flexible accommodation for extended family or guests and is complemented by generous under-house storage.

Throughout the home, exquisite original leadlight windows filter the sunlight into a kaleidoscope of soft, dappled colours, creating a warm, ever-changing ambience while showcasing the craftsmanship and character that only a home of this era can offer.

Perfectly positioned opposite Allenby Reserve and the Waitemata Golf Club, and just a short stroll from the golden sands of Cheltenham Beach, this exceptional location offers the very best of the Devonport lifestyle. Devonport Village, with its boutique cafes, restaurants and charming shops, is only moments away, while the nearby ferry provides a quick and convenient commute to Auckland's CBD. Combining lifestyle, convenience and timeless appeal, the location is every bit as special as the home itself.

Properties of this age, scale, and provenance are increasingly rare. Bring your vision, restore its timeless elegance, and create a legacy home for generations to come.
