55 Clarence Street, Devonport, North Shore

Traditional 1927 Masterpiece

Privately sited on 1,364sqm (more or less) in central Devonport, this impressive five bedroom family home enjoys a floor area of 358sqm, plus double garaging. Offering outstanding wide inner harbour and city views, including optional separate accommodation with two of the bedrooms downstairs in a fully self-contained granny flat, this property is an absolute must to view!

Representing period 1927 craftsmanship reminiscent of a bygone era, affectionately known as "The Chandlery", 55 Clarence Street honours traditional features seldom found, including paneled entrance hall, polished wood floors, with the majestic staircase leading to this home's masterpiece - a stunning 60sqm billiard room / home theatre / grand reception room, or super-sized office, (you choose!). Further showcasing the stunning views and armada of passing recreational boats or cruise ships, you will be spellbound. Adjoining is the fifth bedroom and ensuite.

The main level offers a gas fired formal living room, separate dining (flowing onto a sheltered 46sqm deck), open plan kitchen and family room, guest bathroom, two double bedrooms, ensuite and large walk-in wardrobe. Downstairs the large separate accommodation can be internally locked off if desired. With generous open plan living and a floor area of over 120sqm, this space offers teenagers or extended family the privacy of a fully equipped kitchen, dining and family room, plus two double bedrooms, laundry, bathroom and WIR.

The expansive flat garden boasts a centerpiece ship's masthead / flagpole leading to an eight-meter saltwater pool at the rear to maximise sun, surrounded by the recently renewed 100sqm ecofriendly Vitex deck.

This magnificent home, nestled down a private driveway with the supermarket, library and village shops on your doorstep, is close enough to sight the ferry departing from the CBD, walk down and board the 12-minute relaxing commute to Auckland City.
