A Throwback Worth Celebrating
Long before coastal cool became a trend, City Beach homes were built with character, elevation and a certain unmistakable charm - and this enchanting 4 bedroom 3 bathroom family original has all three in spades.
Sprawling across three floors, its generous proportions, retro personality and intriguing split-level design deliver something refreshingly different from the cookie-cutter crowd. Better yet, the block's magnificent heightened positioned lifts your gaze towards the Indian Ocean, serving up beautiful blue-water views and a daily reminder of exactly where you live.
The entry verandah overlooks tiered front gardens and is your first vantage point on the way to capturing a sublime sea vista, with a gated and paved front courtyard benefitting from side access to a shimmering below-ground swimming pool at the rear, as well as its own slice of the exquisite seascape on offer.
A raked verandah at the back of the house overlooks the pool and barbecue nook with gas provisions, whilst a relaxing poolside gazebo deck has lots of room around it for entertaining - plus enjoys an ocean view of its own. Gated steps lead down to a private backyard-lawn area and a paved sitting courtyard from which to take in those sensual sea breezes.

The latter is graced by high raked ceilings, split-system air-conditioning, wood-burner fireplace, built-in study nook (with desk, shelves and storage) and flows out to the poolside verandah.
Downstairs, a lockable under-stair storeroom and a powered walk-in linen press provide the storage options, whilst the remote-controlled double lock-up garage is generous in its proportions - and plays host to high ceilings, ample power points, an internal shopper's entry door and a large powered side storeroom behind a sliding door.

A powder room sits next door, whilst the third bedroom comprises of desk, mirror, three doors of built-in robes and a splendid backyard aspect.

Upstairs, a commodious open-plan living and dining area is well-equipped with a split-system air-conditioning unit, gas bayonet for heating and electric security window roller shutters. The sea view is simply an added bonus.
The open-plan kitchen and meals area only inches away is also large and plays host to another split-system unit, gas bayonet, fold-out Robinhood ironing board, ample power points and verandah access, where cafe shade blinds complement your path to the pool.
