This grand and characterful home with its wide street frontage, cherished by the current owners for 35 years, is a commanding presence in this prime beachside location. With a distinct charm that is sure to appeal to those drawn to the distinguishing qualities of period homes, the residence features stunning art deco ceiling panels, decorative cornice, sash windows, picture rails and high ceilings throughout.

The impressive formal dining room with electric fireplace is complemented by a charming formal lounge with open fireplace, providing the perfect setting to retire and unwind. For everyday living, you will enjoy the open plan family room that opens to the partially covered patio, allowing for seamless entertaining whatever the weather.

A comprehensive upper floor extension delivers an overall extensive floorplan with multiple living areas and front and rear balconies, catering for both formal/informal and indoor/outdoor entertaining.
