1/20 King Edward Parade, Devonport

Proudly positioned and celebrating a coveted waterfront position, this contemporary home enjoys all the benefits of a modern build, right at the heart of Auckland's most iconic heritage suburb. Along with the four bedroom main home, the completely separate two bedroom townhouse at the rear is also included for sale, which is on its own title and offers excellent rental income or accommodation for extended family. The current owner has lived on the property for the past 33 years and in 2008, removed the old house and constructed a brand new home that maximised the sun and showcased the dazzling views to their best advantage. It was architecturally-designed in the Cape Cod style, and boasts the advantage of an internally-accessed double garage. The quality modern construction and masterful design means that it is an extremely private and quiet sanctuary inside. Heated marble floors and white Santa Fe shutters enhance the relaxed elegance on the ground floor, which offers three bedrooms, a large separate laundry, bathroom and powder room. The two end bedrooms open out to the sunny swimming pool complex. A marble staircase arrives up to the second level, where a concrete floor ensures superior acoustic protection and is covered with rich Tasmanian Ash timber. This vast, open-plan space is divided into different zones, with the lounge and dining at the front of the room enjoying a gas fireplace on either side flowing out to the deck. The entire top floor is dedicated to the master retreat, with the best views of the house. The light filled suite has its own luxurious bathroom with freestanding bath, two sinks and generous walk in wardrobe. With its own dedicated off-street carpark, the rear two bedroom townhouse presents the ideal scenario for those who seek separate accommodation, or astute buyers who wish to fund their mortgage with rental income.
