Exceptional Central Village - SOLD

Located in the heart of Devonport, the original birthplace for Arthur Mofflin to build his workers cottage back in 1875 -78. Apart from the immediate street appeal of this artisans dwelling, the secret on offer behind closed doors, is the beautiful North facing sunny private garden with Gazebo sitting on 556m2 of freehold land (more or less). A rare find, offering an outstanding location steeped in history, extended and modernized over the years including a new kitchen in 2019, new roof and exterior repaint in 2015, HRV system plus recently upgraded insulation. Or if you love a touch of history, the original coal range stands in stark contrast to the sparkling new kitchen and the 43 page Heritage Report makes for fascinating reading.
Described by Heritage New Zealand as the suburbs best surviving example of this style of workers cottage with a Heritage Category 2 status, this home has been extended down the Southern boundary circa 1987 to include the master bedroom and ensuite with French doors leading to the garden. The garage was added in 1985. Although there is the garage and a further off street car park, my guess is those vehicles will become virtually redundant as you discover the benefits of Devonport's lifestyle on offer right on your doorstep!
If you are seeking a one level 4 bedroom home with 2 bathrooms, 2 living areas, matched with entertaining flow to the peaceful paved courtyard, statue water feature and established flowering garden, all just a stone's throw away to the quaint seaside Devonport Village and Ferry Terminal, then do not risk missing out! This outstanding home is priced for sale, so no 4-week marketing campaign, no open homes (viewing by appointment) with flexible settlement terms to suit.
