Tucked into one of Sapphire Beach's most peaceful pockets, 12 Emerald Avenue is a home with genuine character, warmth and soul - a beautifully established coastal residence where the quality is felt the moment you walk through the door.
Set on 638.6m², this substantial multi-level home has been thoughtfully renewed over many years. Timber detailing, high ceilings, natural light and considered improvements create an exceptional sense of comfort, warmth and integrity throughout.
The upper level is completely self-contained, offering four bedrooms, two bathrooms and generous open-plan living, dining and entertaining areas, thoughtfully arranged to create a seamless and inviting sense of space.
At the heart of the home, the beautifully renovated kitchen features stone
bench tops, a marble mosaic splash back, a Forest Oak timber island, quality appliances, excellent storage and a servery connecting effortlessly with the covered rear entertaining deck.
The expansive living area flows onto a generous front deck, where ocean views, sea breezes and the sound of the coast become part of everyday life. A wood fire adds warmth in winter, while high ceilings and abundant natural light keep the home airy and relaxed throughout the year.
And then there are the views.
As the day begins and ends, the outlook across the ocean towards the islands takes on an almost surreal quality. Sunrises arrive softly over the water, while evenings can deliver those rare sunsets that seem almost too perfectly composed - the kind that make you stop, sit down and simply watch until the light disappears.
Privately positioned, the main bedroom enjoys its own ocean outlook, complemented by an ensuite and walk-in robe, while the remaining bedrooms are serviced by a beautifully renovated main bathroom.
The lower levels reveal an entirely different dimension to the home, with two separate, beautifully appointed self-contained studio spaces, each approximately 50m². Independently configured with a bedroom, bathroom, living area and kitchenette, they offer exceptional flexibility for extended
family, guests, creative pursuits or additional accommodation, with the added opportunity to generate income through holiday letting. Alternatively, one studio could be reimagined as a media room or family retreat, providing further living space to suit your needs.
Completing the lower level is a substantial double garage, covered access, laundry and additional storage, while landscaped gardens, established entertaining areas, extensive decking and a 20,000-litre water tank further enhance the home's practicality and appeal.
A home of genuine substance and versatility, where considered renovations, generous proportions and a flexible multi-level design come together to create an exceptional coastal lifestyle, with the added benefit of independent accommodation and income potential.
A lifestyle defined by the coast
All of this, just moments from the natural beauty and relaxed coastal atmosphere that make Sapphire Beach such a sought-after place to call home.
Sapphire Beach is one of the prettiest stretches of coastline on the Mid North Coast, with the beach literally footsteps away. Clear blue water, long beach walks, coastal trails, spectacular headland vistas and the Solitary Islands Marine Park all become part of everyday life. Surf, swim, dive, explore or simply settle into the sand and watch the day unfold.
For the keen fisherman, this is particularly special. The coastline directly in front of Sapphire Beach is a popular fishing destination - a place to teach the kids, spend an afternoon with your partner or head out solo and bring home dinner.
White Bluff, the South Solitary Island viewing platform, nearby nature reserves and the wider Coffs Coast are all close by, while Moonee Beach provides shopping, cafés and everyday conveniences. Coffs Harbour's major retail, dining, transport and medical facilities are also within easy reach.
