71 Devich Road Mangawhai, Kaipara District

New to the market is a charming character property set back from the road with beautifully landscaped plantings and grounds. This 80-year-old belle, although relocated from Glendowie to the site, looks right at home here in the countryside, and even has a glimpse of the ocean and Mangawhai Dune. The 1940's generous 157 sqm dwelling has a Queenslander-style wrap-around verandah deck taking advantage of the elevated position and sun. The home was renovated and remodelled with the generous master bedroom now sited in a former formal lounge, resulting in 4 bedrooms; and a well-appointed large open plan farmhouse kitchen, dining, and lounge created from former separate rooms. The master bedroom has two twin French doors that open out onto the verandah deck, and two double door wardrobes. The bathroom of the home is centrally located. Appealing features of the home's era include native timber floors; some high stud and raked ceilings; a sash window bay in the lounge; and a spacious front door entry.

A real bonus is the 36 sqm cottage sited adjacent to the dwelling. Currently utilised as an art studio and guest accommodation with a bathroom and kitchenette, this is a handy plus for a purchaser.

For the man of the home, there is a high stud, double garage of 46.5 sqm plus a second triple bay garage of 60.9 sqm with dual roller doors. Enjoy the expansive backyard, complete with a charming cabana and fully fenced for privacy. For that beer or G&T on sundown, there is a Cabana (named The Folly) to relax and ponder the day past. The landscaped garden offers plenty of space for children and pets to play, while the surrounding nature provides a serene backdrop. A substantial home orchard and raised vegetable gardens complement this wonderful lifestyle offering.

A great family home perfect for kids and pets to enjoy country air and space, but be only minutes from Mangawhai Village, Mangawhai Beach School, Domain, and shops. Be quick as this as this lifestyle property has a lot on offer!
