There's something incredibly special about homes like this - the kind that instantly make you slow down, exhale, and imagine a different pace of life. Perfectly positioned within one of Bongaree's most peaceful and tightly held pockets, 12 Wattle Avenue captures the warmth, character and nostalgia of classic coastal living, just approximately 150 metres from the waterfront and the Bongaree Recreational Precinct, and set on a generous 977m² block.
Hidden amongst established gardens beneath the canopy of a striking Poinciana tree, the home feels private, welcoming and deeply loved from the very first arrival. The setting alone evokes a sense of old world Bongaree charm - quiet streets, sea breezes drifting through the trees and afternoons spent wandering to the water's edge.
Inside, the home unfolds with a surprising sense of scale. Wide hallways, multiple living spaces and a formal dining room create a feeling of generosity rarely found in homes of this era, while the original character has been beautifully preserved throughout. Warm timber cabinetry, soft vintage details and cosy carpeted interiors give the home a comforting soul - the kind of atmosphere that simply cannot be recreated in newer homes.
The kitchen remains wonderfully functional and filled with character, complemented by durable epoxy flooring and timber accents that continue throughout the residence. Each of the three bedrooms include built-in wardrobes, while ceiling fans, excellent storage and a generous laundry ensure the home remains exceptionally practical for everyday living. Beautifully maintained throughout, the home can absolutely be enjoyed as is, while thoughtful cosmetic updates that honour and nod to its original era could transform it into something truly exceptional.
Step outside and the feeling continues. The vintage-style pergola patio invites long lunches, quiet mornings and relaxed evenings surrounded by established greenery and coastal air. Side access, a large rear double garage, oversized carport accommodation and additional storage provide incredible flexibility for boats, caravans, hobbies or extra vehicles - a rare offering this close to the water.
