At Home On The Water

There are not many places in Auckland where you can arrive by sea and land your own SeaLegs on your own exclusive ramp. There are not many places where you can walk across the beach just below high-tide and get straight on the ferry to commute to and from the city. And you won't find a detached waterfront apartment quite like this one anywhere else in Devonport. You're almost on the beach itself, with stunning views across the harbour from the light, open-plan living room and kitchen. You can breakfast with the sun dappling through Pohutakawa leaves in the morning and watch the boats go by all day at the weekend. It's quiet here and sheltered from the prevailing south-west wind. You've got two double bedrooms upstairs and a third, downstairs. Downstairs even has its own separate entrance, which would make it an amazing office from which to work from home, if you can tear yourself away from those views again, across the harbour, that is. Along with the property comes two garages and the access from there right down to the water is owned by you. It's been recently renovated and an elegant steel handrail installed to accompany the new steps. You enter the property through the newly installed timber gate that leads to a superb decked area outside the front door. In fact, this place offers so much usable, relaxing space, you'll hardly ever want to leave. But when you really have to go inland, you've got a tennis club, a park and the delights of Devonport village on your dry land doorstep. Move in now and you'll be nicely set up to watch Team New Zealand defending America's Cup 36 in 2021.
