$680,000
This dreamy seaside cottage is the type of home people imagine escaping to, where billowy white sheers dance in the coastal breeze, the sound of gentle surf drifts through the windows, and life immediately feels slower, softer and simpler. Tucked into one of the area's most tightly held seaside pockets and located less than a minute's stroll from beautiful Kent Beach, this charming property offers the perfect blend of nostalgia, comfort and relaxed coastal living.
Thoughtfully refreshed over time while retaining its original character, the cottage sits on approximately 0.3151 hectares of level land surrounded by enchanting established gardens, winding brick paths, mature shade trees and ample room for vegetables and productive gardens. The old timber shed tells stories of years gone by, with history quite literally written across its walls, adding another layer of warmth and personality to this much loved home.
Inside, the blue and white country style kitchen has a welcoming, timeless feel, complete with a breakfast bar, pantry and lovely garden outlook. Beautiful timber floorboards flow through the open plan living and dining area, creating a warm and flexible space to gather with family and friends. Large windows and the adjoining deck take in the calming outlook across Esperance Bay and Kent Beach, the perfect spot to watch the weather roll in, enjoy summer sunsets or simply sit quietly with a coffee and a good book.
The beach itself becomes part of everyday life here. Enjoy long summer swims, beach walks at sunset, or an energising cool dip through winter to awaken the senses and reset after a busy week. It is a lifestyle that feels grounded, peaceful and wonderfully connected to nature.
The main bedroom is generous in size and includes a built in robe, while the second bedroom flows from the open plan living space. A cosy media room offers the perfect setting for movie nights and, with the home's flexible layout, there is scope to create a third bedroom if desired.
The family bathroom is full of charm, featuring a cast iron bath and walk in shower, while a separate powder room adds practicality. Both the front and rear undercover porches invite you to slow down and relax, ideal for rocking chairs, afternoon conversations and lazy summer evenings. A functional laundry is positioned just off the rear porch.
Comfort is assured year round with a reverse cycle air conditioner, a new freestanding wood heater, insulation in the ceiling and selected walls, along with quality drapes and flowing sheers that perfectly suit the home's dreamy coastal feel. The property was rewired circa 1983, and many original features and materials throughout the home have been carefully restored and preserved.
Beyond the property itself, the welcoming seaside community is another part of the appeal. The nearby township of Dover offers essential shopping and services, along with a friendly atmosphere where new friendships are easily made through local community groups, over a meal at the RSL, or while enjoying a drink or round of golf at the local golf club.
Whether you are searching for a peaceful permanent residence, a family getaway, or the kind of seaside cottage people dream about owning one day, this beautiful property is sure to capture your heart. Kim absolutely adores this cottage and feels certain you will too.
