Price by negotiation
There are homes that follow a formula, and then there are homes like 370B Devon Street West.
Tucked discreetly away from the road, this remarkable architecturally designed home is one of those properties you simply don't expect until you step inside. Then the view opens up, the scale reveals itself, and suddenly you understand just how much home is hidden here.
Designed by celebrated architect and original owner Gary Brown, the substantial 370sqm (more or less) residence has been carefully positioned to take full advantage of its elevated setting. Expansive glazing captures sweeping views across the city and out to sea, while neighbouring native trees provide privacy and frame some pretty spectacular sunsets over the port.
At the heart of the home is an impressive open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. A beautiful macrocarpa timber ceiling brings warmth overhead, floor-to-ceiling windows make the outlook part of everyday life, and the tiled living spaces flow out to an elevated deck made for long lunches, evening drinks and watching the sun disappear over the horizon.
The entry level also makes life remarkably easy. Here you'll find the double internal-access garage, guest powder room and a generous master suite complete with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. With central heating and cooling and lift access connecting every level, the home offers genuine long-term liveability too.
Head downstairs and the possibilities really start to open up.
Three further double bedrooms are joined by a bathroom with spa bath, separate toilet, expansive games/billiard room and a substantial home office. With its own external access, this entire level gives families options that are increasingly hard to find - teenagers can have their own domain, guests can stay without everyone living on top of each other, or working from home can actually mean having a proper workplace.
Go down another level and there's still more, with a large laundry, wine cellar and substantial workshop opening to a covered courtyard and another sheltered outdoor space.
The 501sqm (more or less) section is low maintenance, with established fruit trees and vegetable beds, while access through West End School to Bonithon Avenue puts the Coastal Walkway within an easy 800m stroll.
And location is another part of the appeal. You're approximately 1.5km from New Plymouth's CBD and around 1km from the hospital, with the city's restaurants, cafés, galleries, shops and parks all close at hand.
370B isn't a conventional home, and that's precisely the point.
It offers architecture without sacrificing practicality, space without the burden of a huge section, and enough separation to let everyone in the family find their own corner.
Come through the front door and see what's been waiting for you here.
Sweet Devon St West. Good homes never seemed so good.
