11 Buchanan Street, Devonport, North Shore

Handsome home & income in the heart of the village

Positioned in a prime, sought-after side street in the heart of the village, merely steps from the waterfront where you can hop on a fast ferry to the CBD. This much-admired two-level home with handsome street presence is bursting with original character features. Behind the main house are two stylish, self-contained studios set in secluded, landscaped gardens.

The ground floor of the house is all about living and entertaining family & friends. Three interconnecting rooms span from front to back, leading to a secluded outdoor area to enjoy long lazy lunches. Upstairs, morning sun streams into a spacious master bedroom. Two more light, airy bedrooms both benefit from north-facing windows. An enclosed balcony at the back, with city views and a sneak peek of the sea, is currently a sun-drenched home office, but it could be used as a fourth bedroom - it's a great spot for an afternoon snooze!

Built as a single dwelling in 1924, the studios offer an array of appealing options. Favourably consented for commercial accommodation, they operated as The Devonport Motel from the mid-1980s, successfully attracting tourists, business travellers and other visitors, and recently remodelled and remarketed as Devonport Boutique Motel. You can continue operating this established business for a healthy income boost or consider offering longer-term rentals. Alternatively, it's perfect for multi-generational living, or simply a space from which to work, removed from the main home. A bonus for many will be the large studio/workshop.

Devonport is world famous for its historical significance. There are safe sandy beaches plus a plethora of sporting, artistic and cultural activities, boutique shops, cafes, a supermarket, library and a theatre. From Buchanan Street you're only 5 minutes from it all, including the fast ferry to the CBD in just 12 minutes.

Here is your chance to own a unique property in a prime central position, where you can enjoy a lifestyle like no other.
