The Feel:
Held by one family for over 70 years, this much-loved Hitchcock Avenue residence blends the charm of its 1950s origins with the space and comfort of thoughtful extensions. Brimming with character, the single-level layout flows easily between light-filled living zones and a modern kitchen, while French doors open to lush established gardens and decks that create a sense of privacy and sanctuary. Warm timber textures, crisp white finishes, and generous glazing create a timeless coastal aesthetic, while dual living rooms and private bedroom wings provide flexibility for family life, work-from-home, or holiday accommodation. Just footsteps from the heart of the village and the river shores, it’s a property that celebrates heritage while offering a flexible future.

The Owner Loves....
“We’ve always loved how this home can welcome a crowd yet still feel calm and private. Over the years it has been the backdrop to many family gatherings, and it continues to hold that same warmth and ease. The location means you can wander to the beach, river, or village in minutes, and the gardens and decks make it easy to enjoy every season outside.”
