If a family home with a fabulous aspect is on your wish list, take a look at this deceptively large villa.

Escape winter blues in front of the open fire. Savour summers eating al fresco on the elevated deck. Relish watching the sun rise over Rangitoto Island and set beyond the Harbour Bridge.

Brimming with original features including ornate ceilings and polished wooden floors. Comfortable to live in as is, you can take your time to upgrade, add value and make this your own. Four double bedrooms, en-suite and family bathrooms, a spacious kitchen, multiple living indoors and out, a two-car garage and ample storage will all appeal. A self-contained area below offers space for guests or extended family.

Located in a popular, quiet side street, the charm of Devonport Village with its boutique shops, cafes and safe beaches is conveniently close by - an easy 20 minutes on foot. A profusion of leisure amenities are available here, and excellent school options make this the suburb of choice for many. Commute to the CBD? Stanley Bay ferry is a mere 500m from the doorstep.

Motivated vendor keen to sell - this will be a great buy!
