1/47 Church Street, Devonport, North Shore

Unique industrial chic

***THIS PROPERTY IS NOW SOLD***

Prepare to fall in love - as the current owner did almost 20 years ago - with this rare architecturally designed apartment within Devonport's historic former power station. Built in 1915 and listed as a Category 2 Historic Place with Heritage NZ, it was converted into three unique units in the 1980s. A high vaulted ceiling and big windows add to the sense of space, bare bricks and exposed beams abound. The spacious street level studio with separate access could generate an income. For wannabe globe-trotters it's a solid, secure lock-and-leave. Be inspired, envision the possibilities, and unleash the potential at this iconic New York loft-style abode.

The generous 270sqm floor area spanning three levels includes three bedrooms and open plan living. Wide bi-fold doors take you outside to the sheltered sanctuary of a north-facing deck, framed by the exterior walls of the original building, where you can relax, unwind, and entertain. Soak up the sun by day and stargaze at night.

Run your own business on the ground floor, or offer it as a rental space - maybe an artist's studio? Create a comfortable guest suite/Airbnb accommodation (subject to consents), or your teenager would be rapt to have this as their retreat. The property is totally out of the ordinary, and so very versatile.

Devonport is an ideal blend of coastal charm and urban convenience with cafes, boutique shops, amenities, and all manner of activities available virtually on your doorstep. A 12-minute ferry service ensures effortless navigation to the city and beyond.
