413 Devon Street West, Lynmouth, New Plymouth, Taranaki

Views, sun, privacy and space abound in this elevated home. Brimming with fond memories, the current owners have cherished the captivating vista for the past 60 years.

Sitting on a ridge line, the property enjoys privacy with one of the better outlooks in the city from its pedestal position. From the glistening Tasman Sea to the rocky peak of Paritutu and the Sugar Loaf Islands, you even have a grandstand seat to Port Taranaki’s bustling activity. What’s even more alluring is that the expansive views are highly unlikely to be built out.

The appeal of the outlook is complemented by the improvements to the classic 1930s weatherboard house over the years. Featuring an open-plan interior, the lounge and two of the three bedrooms have windows which extend to the floor to maximise the sea views, while the kitchen/dining space even enjoys an outlook of the child-friendly yard. Aluminium joinery, heat pump, gas heating along with a large idyllic conservatory at the front of the house which provides a sun-infused second living area.

Well-established grounds add even more charisma to this special property, including rhododendron and hibiscus, lime and delicious Black Hamburg grapes.

The outlook and privacy here add up to potential plus for a new owner with possibilities to modernise the property to their own taste, or perhaps for someone captivated by the site to start again and build their dream haven. With such solid bones and its incredible position, both options are on the table, whether it’s now or a longer-term goal.
