What wonderful history we have for you here at 38 Ewen Alison Ave.This unique home was barged over from Auckland’s waterfront in the early 20th century. It was the first home on the avenue. How special is that!This beautiful character villa sits in a well elevated position surrounded by mature gardens and opposite the popular Melrose Reserve. The home is distinct in that it has wrap-around verandahs on three sides of the property - more like a Queenslander home, I hear you say!A welcoming hallway draws you inside where you’ll find golden kauri floors and a choice of up to five bedrooms or additional living areas. Head up the stairs to your own private retreat. This room was designed to be an artist studio but with the addition of a bathroom, it’s a perfect guest bedroom.There’s a stunning designer kitchen and open plan family living, perfectly positioned for capturing all day sun. This area is the real heart of the home where family and friends have enjoyed many happy times. French doors open from this area and flow out to a large deck which is the perfect space for those relaxing family lunches or evening gatherings, while watching the children play in the north-west facing garden.Use your imagination for developing the under house space, maybe you’ve always wanted a workshop, and not forgetting the carport and off-street parking.This beautiful home is located close to the village and the ferry, parks, schools and everything our wonderful Devonport community has to offer. We look forward to showing you through this home, please call today to arrange your private viewing.
