They don’t make them like this any more, which helps explain the price achieved for this stunning Arts and Crafts house in Huia Street, Devonport.

The fully renovated property, designed by architect Lloyd Bates in 1929, sold for $3.3 million during lockdown Level 4, which is $650,000 above the $2.65 million CV.
