Dating back to the late 1800s, 120 Vauxhall Road is a remarkable piece of Devonport's history. Built from solid heart kauri and once owned by the Mayor of Devonport, this character-filled residence stands as a reminder of a bygone era, when craftsmanship was enduring and Devonport was establishing itself as one of Auckland's most desirable seaside communities.
Held by the same family for more than 55 years, this extraordinary property is now ready for its next chapter.
Occupying an exceptional 1,978sqm (more or less) freehold landholding stretching all the way to the water's edge, the scale, position and possibilities on offer are increasingly rare. Elevated to capture sweeping harbour views towards Rangitoto, the property enjoys a wonderful sense of space, privacy and connection to the coastline.
The original heart kauri residence offers enormous scope to restore, renovate and breathe new life into a home rich in character. Equally, the substantial waterfront landholding invites buyers to explore the possibilities for the future, creating something truly special in one of Devonport's most tightly held locations.
Our vendors are genuine in their intention to sell. Having enjoyed more than five decades of family ownership, they understand today's market and are realistic in their expectations. For buyers who appreciate the scarcity of significant waterfront landholdings, this represents an exciting opportunity to secure something that simply cannot be replicated.
And then there is the lifestyle.
Cheltenham Beach, coastal walks, the charm of Devonport Village and its wonderful selection of cafés and restaurants are all close by. With the ferry providing an easy connection to Auckland's CBD, this is coastal living at its finest, combining a relaxed village atmosphere with the convenience of the city.
Properties of this scale, history and waterfront position seldom become available. With landholdings of this significance becoming increasingly difficult to secure, the opportunity to purchase today and create something exceptional for tomorrow is one worthy of serious consideration.
After more than 55 years, the time has come for a new owner to take the reins.
A remarkable history. An irreplaceable landholding. A rare opportunity to create the next chapter.
