Positioned gracefully on the slopes of North Head, commanding breathtaking vistas that stretch across Devonport, the Waitemata harbour and beyond, stands this remarkable rebuilt residence inspired by renowned architect Michael O’Sullivan. Keeping the classic character bungalow design at the front, this stunning transformation has earnt it recognition as the recipient of several design and colour awards.
Nestled into the mountainside, this home spans across multiple levels interconnected via a light-filled staircase, each level boasting its own unique design and charm. The bungalow section of the house features a master suite with commanding views of Devonport, an ensuite, office, additional bedroom and a separate lounge, perfect for cosy nights by the fireplace.
The primary living level with its inviting outdoor deck and open plan lounge, dining and kitchen area radiates warmth and homeliness.

Ascending to the third level reveals two more bedrooms and the top level unveils a magnificent cantilevered open plan space offering uninterrupted water views- an ideal setting for entertaining guests.
The fusion of natural materials pay homage to the character and heritage of the former bungalow. Volcanic block walls, cork tiles, natural stone and vibrantly dyed wool carpets imbue the home with a sense of uniqueness and bold design.
Adding to the allure is the glorious pool and spa, sitting atop their own level providing panoramic views. Whether basking in the sunlight during the day or marvelling the city lights by night, this space promises relaxation.
Completing the picture is a private wine cellar, home theatre and three car garage. Situated on one of Devonport’s most coveted streets, a leisurely stroll to the beach and convenient access to North Head via the back gate, render this home truly exceptional.
