Summer Street, Devonport, Auckland

This super spacious Summer Street villa set on a large 706sqm site is a dream for family life, thanks to its very generous proportions, functional floorplan and elegant balance of old and new. The circa 1910 home’s distinctive double entrance and landscaped gardens provide beautiful street appeal, while the expansive private backyard and flat lawns are a delightful surprise tucked away at the rear.

Many classic features have been retained in the single level home’s stylish transformation, including the wide entrance hall’s intricate alcoves, stained glass and native timber floors, which have been sanded back for a blonded finish. Lots of light and sun flood into all the rooms and a high stud height significantly enhances the sense of space throughout.  Add to this the central heating and cooling that will keep you comfortable year-round.  

The gallery-style hallway offers four large bedrooms and two bathrooms, which includes the master with walk-in robe, ensuite and access to the side veranda. The large separate lounge provides an essential second living space, while the voluminous family living, dining and kitchen area is open plan. The high-quality entertainer’s kitchen enjoys views of majestic Mount Victoria and is flooded with light from the two large skylights set right above. 

The inside flows out to the deck and patio with outdoor fire, as well as the level back garden incorporating three raised vege beds and plenty of space for kids and pets to play safely. There is also room for a pool out here, should you wish to explore putting one in. 

Summer Street is a seriously sought-after street in this family-friendly neighbourhood – a quiet avenue just one over from the Stanley Bay School and within easy walking distance to local parks, the tennis club, white sandy beaches and the Devonport village and ferry.
