Auction Brought Forward

Having been held by just one owner for 35 years and more, this familiar feeling home started life as the classic family bach for happy holidays. The 777sqm (approx.) site now boasts a refined rendered brick and weatherboard, free flowing residence with guest annex above the garage nestled nicely in the back yard. Over years, the micro-climate garden has been lovingly tended and added to, with a vast range of fruit trees and raised garden beds collectively yielding something special all year round. This picture perfect resort-style spot with spa area is a popular go-to for young ones, grandies and tired post-surf bodies. Subjected to a significant reformation in 2006, the sunlit home has a tremendous open plan and extra height living area anchored by beach-friendly tiles and integrating both the dining and kitchen. The design unites this space with an oversize, raised raked-ceiling loggia embodying a skylight and schist fireplace - what a spot to gather or dine outdoors irrespective of weather. The kitchen beckons you to cook up a storm with its spacious scullery, social breakfast bar and ample cabinetry. Of all bedrooms in the main residence, one has access to an intimate deck and the garden while the master comprises of a walk-in robe and ensuite. Extra features include solar heated hot water and a substantial gas cooker for the chef. House guests, family extras or short term stays can be comfortably accommodated in the sizable loft with kitchenette, bathroom and bedroom, all easily accessed via even larger garaging. Further off-street parking, direct line of sight access up to the beach and a glorious greenhouse are all just bountiful bonuses - but the plum tree yields alone are the talk of the neighbourhood. Close to main routes in and out, not to mention a short stint to Bayfair, this happy home with more radiates vacation, location and inspiration in equal measure.
