Sitting beautifully within the curve of Refuge Cove, this deep waterfront position enjoys an uninterrupted 180-degree outlook and a natural safe haven for boats when southerlies sweep across Pittwater...
A secluded Refuge Cove beach lies just a short swim from your door, with swimming, boating, kayaking, fishing and pontoon-jumping all part of everyday life. It is a lifestyle genuinely hard to surpass, and an exceptional opportunity for the creatively inclined.
The property holds a Northern Beaches Council-approved DA, valid for five years, for an architect-designed home by Tobias Partners. The design steps gently down the easily walkable block in two connected forms, with an internal lift providing effortless accessibility.
Under Council's proposed new FSR controls, a site of this size would be capped at approximately 413.70 sqm of floor area (0.35:1). However, the approved DA already carries an equivalent FSR of 0.521:1, or approximately 615.56 sqm - some 48.8% more than any future approval could achieve. Importantly, that scale is already locked in, regardless of what planning changes may lie ahead.
Key Features:
4 generously sized bedrooms, with the master boasting a walk-in robe & ensuite, plus a separate study & ample storage.
Spacious living and dining areas flowing seamlessly to outdoor entertaining and a large in-ground pool.
Substantial off-street parking, comfortably accommodating up to six cars and adding further everyday practicality.
Excellent boating facilities, including a substantial boathouse full of character and ready for its own renovation chapter, together with a slipway, provision for a jetty and pontoon, plus a rare non-operational inclinator, ready for an upgrade - a significant advantage over a new application.
Expansive 1,182 sqm block (up to 1,314 sqm including waterfront title boundaries), extending from street to waterfront with no shared driveway.
What's Close By
Close to Avalon and Newport Villages, The Newport and The Clareville, plus an array of restaurants, cafés, pilates studios, gyms, outdoor play parks, a brewery, a pub, cocktail bars, unique village shopping & an original cinema.
Moments from Taylor's Point Wharf & Baths, Clareville Beach and the best of Pittwater, with Avalon, Bilgola and Newport Beaches all within five minutes.
Nearby schools include Maria Regina Catholic Primary School, Bilgola Plateau Public School, Avalon Public School and Barrenjoey High School, with St Luke's Grammar School, Bayview approximately 15 minutes away. Clareville is conveniently serviced by school buses to many of Sydney's leading independent secondary schools.
True deep waterfront opportunities of this calibre are increasingly rare on Pittwater. Whether enjoyed as it stands today or brought to life through the approved Tobias Partners vision, 232 Hudson Parade offers an exceptional combination of deep-water position, architectural potential and planning certainty - secured ahead of Council's proposed planning changes. Opportunities of this rarity are seldom seen - and rarely repeated.
