15 Jubilee Avenue, Devonport, North Shore

Timeless villa elegance

Premier Cheltenham Setting - Privately positioned in one of Cheltenham's most coveted streets, this beautifully preserved 1905 heritage villa is a captivating blend of classic charm and modern comfort with exceptional lifestyle appeal.

From the moment you arrive, the home's street presence is enchanting. A manicured, era-appropriate garden frames the façade, while wide steps lead to a gracious wrap-around verandah, flanked by two striking bay windows that immediately hint at the elegance within.

Inside, a long and generously proportioned central hallway sets a wonderful tone - high stud ceilings, original kauri tongue-and-groove floors, and painted ceilings adorned with antique chandeliers create a sense of grandeur that is both impressive and warmly welcoming.

At the front of the home, a charming sitting room opens directly to the verandah and flows through to a larger lounge - ideal for refined entertaining or relaxed evenings by the fire. Toward the rear, the recently updated kitchen has been thoughtfully designed to deliver modern functionality while remaining perfectly in harmony with the villa's heritage character. This space connects seamlessly to its own casual sitting room and a conservatory-style dining area, overlooking the utterly charming rear garden with a large lawn and room for pool if desired.

Four generously sized bedrooms, each with its own individual charm, are positioned along the hallway. The master suite is particularly appealing, featuring a full wall of wardrobes and a stylish, contemporary ensuite. The family bathroom has been tastefully updated with a freestanding bath and walk-in shower, creating a luxurious yet timeless feel. Throughout the home, excellent storage is provided with ample floor-to-ceiling cabinetry.

Set on a full site with wonderful all-day sun, the garden is both private and versatile. In addition to a double garage, the original turn-of-the-century cottage now houses a delightful and self-contained space offering a bedroom, small living area, and bathroom. This independent retreat is ideal for guests, older children, extended family, or a delightful work-from-home studio.

Outdoor living is equally compelling, with a covered verandah off the kitchen overlooking the garden and a superb paved entertaining area complete with an outdoor fire - perfect for year-round gatherings.

Jubilee Avenue is one of Devonport's most tightly held addresses, positioned just one street back from the waterfront on the lower slopes of North Head. From here, you are moments from swimming and boat launching at Torpedo Bay, a children's playground and expansive park at the end of the street, and an easy, level walk to Cheltenham Beach. Stroll along the Parade to Devonport Village with its cafés, boutiques, and ferry services to the CBD, and enjoy access to an excellent selection of highly regarded primary and secondary schools.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a truly elegant villa in an exceptional coastal village setting - where character, comfort, and lifestyle combine beautifully.
