MCKENZIE COTTAGE - Devonport
MCKENZIE COTTAGE - Devonport
Step inside 17 Albert Road and its hard to imagine this comfortable, stylish, three bedroom home established itself in New Zealand's pioneering history. First inhabited in the 1850's by Richard Dunne, the original part of the build, believed to be New Zealand's smallest surviving pioneer's cottage, remained largely unchanged and within the same family until 1991. Exquisite and quaint in equal measures, it was in the late 1990's in the safe hands of a local craftsman and builder that McKenzie cottage was meticulously restored and extended.
Today, along with three bedrooms, the home boasts two bathrooms, open plan living and kitchen, a delightful sunny, north facing deck, single lockup garage and generations of charm.
Located opposite Mount Victoria and just a short walk to the Village, the ferry, waterfront, restaurants, theatre and shops, McKenzie cottage is an obvious choice for those that appreciate quality and of course a touch of history. A wonderful home for small families, professionals, couples or those looking to downsize and unlike its rustic beginnings, today Mckenzie Cottage would also work exceptionally well as a home and income or artists retreat.
Plenty of options for a very special piece of New Zealand's past and present.
We look forward to seeing you through the open homes.
