Morning coffee overlooking the ocean, a swim before breakfast and leisurely walks along the foreshore — this inviting character home brings the bayside lifestyle into everyday living. Set just back from Margate Beach on 544m², it captures extensive ocean views across to Moreton Island while enjoying the privacy and shelter of its position away from the beachfront. Direct pedestrian access through the rear gate connects you to Margate Parade and the waterfront.
Upstairs, banks of windows fill the open-plan living area with natural light, framing Norfolk pines and the ocean beyond. Curl up on the window seat with a favourite book, or unwind on the covered front balcony, where morning coffee comes with a spectacular sunrise over the bay. Enjoy the sea breeze, the soft changing colours of afternoon skies and the magic of watching the moon rise over the horizon.
Timber floors and white VJ-style walls bring warmth and character to the generous living and dining spaces, complemented by updated light fittings chosen to suit the home’s character. At its heart, the custom-designed MKN chef’s kitchen combines thoughtful functionality with an open layout and a wide benchtop that keeps you connected with family and guests as you cook. Stone surfaces, deep drawers and a dedicated spice cupboard complement Bosch appliances, including a 90cm pyrolytic oven, 90cm five-zone induction cooktop and stainless steel microwave with grill.
Retractable flyscreens in the kitchen and living area welcome coastal breezes, while sliding doors open onto the deck for relaxed outdoor entertaining. Two large bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a bathroom complete the upper level.
Downstairs offers further ocean views and lovely, spacious multipurpose rooms, with ceiling heights just shy of 2.4m. Extensive cupboard storage and a second bathroom add practicality, while French doors connect the large multipurpose room to a beautiful wrap-around timber deck. Security screens to the downstairs windows and doors provide added peace of mind. Ideal for a home office, creative retreat or extra space to unwind, this level offers wonderful flexibility, with potential to explore multigenerational living or short-term accommodation (STCA).
Fully landscaped grounds create a private garden oasis, with fragrant planting, raised vegetable beds, magnolias, grevilleas and frangipani trees. The rear pedestrian gate makes swims, paddleboarding and foreshore walks an easy part of your daily routine, while the outdoor hot-water shower is perfect for rinsing off after the beach.
Generous storage includes built-in wardrobes, downstairs cupboards, roof storage with an integrated access ladder, three sheds and under-deck space. Multiple split-system air conditioners, ceiling fans and a double carport provide everyday comfort and convenience, while a 6.6kW solar system paired with a 13.5kWh Tesla battery helps keep electricity costs at bay.
Combining coastal character, extensive ocean views and direct waterfront access with a private, sheltered setting, this is a home that invites you to slow down and enjoy life by the bay.
