Perfectly positioned just metres from the coastline, this magnificent c1930 Federation bluestone residence occupies an unusually large and valuable 937sqm (approx.) allotment, offering a rare combination of timeless character, generous proportions, privacy and an exceptional beachside lifestyle.
For almost a century, this beautiful home has been the setting for family life, celebrations and countless memories. Lovingly modernised while retaining its original charm, the residence showcases beautiful timber floorboards, high ceilings, ornate cornices, fireplaces and traditional mantels, complemented by the modern comforts expected of a contemporary family home.
The substantial proportions and versatile floorplan provide an abundance of space for growing and multigenerational families, with room for everyone to come together as well as quiet spaces to retreat. Multiple living areas, five bedrooms and a theatre room provide exceptional flexibility, while the dedicated office/studio offers an ideal work-from-home environment and additional spaces can readily adapt to creative pursuits, hobbies, fitness or relaxation.
At the heart of the home is a spacious kitchen and adjoining dining area, while the multiple indoor and outdoor living zones make entertaining effortless. Whether it's a relaxed family weekend, a poolside celebration, pizza night with friends or a long summer lunch beneath the pavilion, this home has been designed for connection and enjoyment.
Outside, the property truly comes alive.
Majestic palm trees frame the sparkling swimming pool and create dreamy silhouettes across the garden as the sun sets, with a pair of beautiful rainbow lorikeets adding their own touch of colour. The impressive pitched-roof pavilion is an entertainer's dream, complete with an outdoor kitchen, barbecue, pizza oven and café blinds, creating a spectacular space for gatherings throughout the year.
An integrated Bose sound system extends throughout the rear entertaining areas, while the basketball ring and dedicated gym or yoga retreat provide plenty of options for active family living.
And beyond the gates, the coastline is practically on your doorstep.
Hear the waves and smell the ocean from home. Wander to the end of the street for a leisurely swim, walk barefoot along the sand at sunset or cast a fishing line from the historic jetty. Great coffee, restaurants and local shopping are all within an easy stroll, while the deck provides the perfect vantage point to watch the New Year's Eve fireworks light up the sky.
The property also offers exceptional practical credentials, with secure multiple-vehicle accommodation, dual driveway access, automatic gates and substantial lock-up storage - ideal for cars, boats, boards, bikes and all the extras that come with a coastal lifestyle. Direct access from the carport into the home office further enhances the work-from-home convenience.
The generous landholding also provides exciting scope for the future. Extend, personalise or reconfigure the existing spaces to suit your family's changing needs, or explore the potential for a self-contained retreat, granny flat or short-term accommodation, subject to the necessary approvals.
