This iconic Devonport grand villa is a rare find - it is set on a 1200m² corner site that's been lovingly tended into a mini lifestyle block with expansive north-west facing gardens your children will adore, and enough vegetable beds and fruit trees to keep you out of the supermarket for weeks on end!

Click on the video tab on this page - watch the video, share it on-line, and e-mail me telling me what the Father "doesn't do". If you get the answer right, you will go into the draw to win $1000 as soon as the home has sold. It is a large family home (329m² more or less) and has recently been fully renovated inside and out and has been appointed with everything your family could need. The original footprint of the home is absolutely classic grand villa with rooms of grand proportions within, surrounded by wrap around balconies and stunning bay windows. You will love the grand villa hallway, the high ceilings and generous rooms. At the back of the home is a contemporary open-plan living and dining area with designer kitchen which flows out to a north-facing entertaining area to die for, complete with outdoor fireplace and spa. It's not surprising that the current owners report that their home has become the social hub of the very close knit local community! The home is set on two levels with five large bedrooms and three distinct living areas, with the top floor offering the perfect teenage retreat encompassing a double bedroom and rumps area, with shower room too. Your teenagers, will love you for giving them this space and you will love them for not being in yours!

Your children can run bare-foot to the local primary school, jump in the sea on the way home at the infamous Stanley Bay Wharf, and catch the bus at the front gate to many other Auckland schools. So, if you fancy the idea of a lifestyle block but you don't want to live in the middle of nowhere, this iconic Devonport villa homestead is just for you. Andâ?¦. if you currently live "over the bridge" (City Side), you will be surprised how little you have to pay in Devonport to secure this kind of home.
