This original Devonport villa was extensively renovated and transformed to complement today's modern lifestyle, and now offers five bedrooms and four bathrooms across two levels. It's also enhanced with a new heated swimming pool complex and the benefit of a separate, self-contained, one-bedroom unit on-site.
The 837m2 freehold property is located at 1 Mozeley Avenue, just a short walk from the Waitemata Golf Club. It's also within a pleasant stroll of the Devonport village and CBD ferry, in zone for excellent local schools and close to the area's coveted beaches.
Thick, well-established hedges provide an excellent sense of privacy from the road and the elevated position still allows plenty of light and sun to stream in. Although it added vast amounts of additional space and a floorplan better suited to today's lifestyle, the major renovation project remained steadfastly true to the home's heritage character. Stained glass, sash windows, high batten ceilings and polished timber floors enhance the character and classic ambiance, and sets of French doors in almost every room open out to the wrap-around veranda.
In typical villa style, a series of rooms are located off the long entrance hall. Two cosy, separate rooms each have an original fireplace and can be utilised as an office/ library/ TV snug or lounge, while the two bedrooms across the hall each have their own ensuite. The main bathroom is finished to the same standard as the others and has a freestanding, clawfoot bath. Full height doors open into the open-plan kitchen, lounge and dining space at the rear, where a sense of seamless continuity has been expertly achieved in this new area, with the same ceilings and wood floors utilised. Designed for enthusiastic cooks, the spacious kitchen has plenty of storage and an island, as well as an impressive Rangemaster Noir oven.
Large sets of bifold doors create an excellent connection with the alfresco living and sunny pool complex, and can be opened up completely during summer. An outdoor fireplace is perfect for evening entertaining and the polished concrete floors of the adjacent room are ideal for a home gym or pool room. Easy-care turf lawn and landscaped gardens frame the site and provide space for kids to play.
There are three more bedrooms located upstairs, as well as a landing area that would be the perfect study/ computer nook. They each capture different elevated views, including snapshots of North Head, Mount Victoria and Rangitoto Island. The master suite has a bay window, walk-in wardrobe and ensuite.
Behind the double garage and workshop, the one-bedroom unit has been crafted in the same style as the main home and has a heat pump. It can be rented out to garner additional income, or used as accommodation for extended family or guests.
Immaculately-presented and with nothing to do but move in and enjoy, this spacious villa is perfect for large families who love Devonport.
