Some properties are purchased. Others are discovered.
Positioned within one of Devonport's most tightly held coastal enclaves, 1/25A Lake Road represents a genuinely rare opportunity to secure a residence of architectural significance, enduring substance, and remarkable versatility. Believed to be one of only two European-inspired homes of its kind, this exceptional concrete residence occupies a category of its own; a home defined not by trends, but by authenticity, permanence and scarcity.
In our experience, homes of this nature transcend conventional real estate classifications. They are the properties buyers speak about years later. They are held, cherished and seldom relinquished. They offer not only a place to live, but a lifestyle, a legacy and increasingly, a strategic long-term investment opportunity.

Constructed in solid concrete during the 1990s, the residence embodies a timeless architectural language inspired by European loft living. Soaring stud heights, exposed timber beams, extensive glazing, bespoke joinery and honest materiality combine to create a home of extraordinary character and enduring relevance. Every space has been carefully considered. Every level tells its own story.
The home's greatest strength lies in its remarkable flexibility.
Spanning three independently functioning levels, the residence has been designed to evolve alongside changing lifestyles and ownership requirements. Whether accommodating extended family, executive guests, home-based business operations, passive income generation, or simply providing exceptional separation between living environments, the configuration is both rare and highly desirable.
The ground level presents a particularly compelling opportunity. With independent access, light business zoning and complete separation from the principal residence, it offers extraordinary versatility. Currently configured as a fully self-contained environment incorporating two bedrooms, open-plan living, a full kitchen and bathroom facilities, the space lends itself to professional practice, consulting rooms, boutique creative studios, gallery space, executive accommodation or premium rental income.
For astute investors and long-term buyers, the economics are equally compelling. Supported by a current rental appraisal of approximately $2,200 to $2,400 per week, the property presents a unique opportunity to secure a blue-chip coastal asset capable of generating meaningful income while benefiting from long-term capital appreciation within one of Auckland's most tightly held residential markets.
The middle level forms the social and architectural heart of the residence. Defined by generous proportions, warm materiality and a sense of understated sophistication, it offers expansive living centred around a wood burning fireplace. Natural light pours through extensive glazing while elevated outlooks across the Waitemata Golf Course provide a constantly changing backdrop of greenery and openness.
Above, the upper level unfolds as a private retreat; a penthouse-style sanctuary that can function independently or seamlessly integrate with the principal living spaces below. Offering exceptional flexibility, privacy and tranquillity, it is a space equally suited to luxurious accommodation, creative pursuits or executive living.
Beyond the residence itself lies one of Auckland's most desirable lifestyle locations. Devonport Village, ferry connections to the CBD, boutique cafes, waterfront walks, premium schooling, beaches, reserves and the iconic slopes of Mount Victoria are all moments away. It is a location where lifestyle and convenience exist in perfect balance.
What ultimately distinguishes this property is not simply its architecture, configuration or location. It is its rarity.
In a market where many homes can be renovated, extended or recreated, opportunities such as this have become increasingly difficult to replicate. The combination of concrete construction, architectural individuality, income-generating flexibility, light business zoning, elevated golf course outlook and tightly held coastal positioning creates a proposition that is genuinely unique.
Properties can be built. Opportunities like this are created only through time.
