This is not simply an older home that has been extended. It is a property that has evolved across generations, retaining the warmth and craftsmanship of its 1931 origins while gaining the scale, infrastructure and functionality required for modern coastal living. The Red Pine joinery and Jarrah floors tell the story of the original bungalow, while the Western Red Cedar, hardwood floors and expansive later living areas demonstrate the care taken to extend rather than erase its character.
With approximately 251sqm of living, 76sqm of verandahs and 108sqm of garage and carport accommodation, the scale is impressive. Combined with approximately 44,000 litres of rainwater, solar, three-phase power, extensive heating and cooling, substantial shedding and a generous 1,421sqm Coast Road allotment, this is a Moonta Bay property with genuine substance.

A rare opportunity to secure a piece of Moonta Bay history, beautifully evolved for the generations ahead.
