Long before coastal cool became a trend, City Beach homes were built with character, elevation and a certain unmistakable charm - and this enchanting 4 bedroom 3 bathroom family original has all three in spades.
Sprawling across three floors, its generous proportions, retro personality and intriguing split-level design deliver something refreshingly different from the cookie-cutter crowd. Better yet, the block's magnificent heightened positioned lifts your gaze towards the Indian Ocean, serving up beautiful blue-water views and a daily reminder of exactly where you live.
The entry verandah overlooks tiered front gardens and is your first vantage point on the way to capturing a sublime sea vista, with a gated and paved front courtyard benefitting from side access to a shimmering below-ground swimming pool at the rear, as well as its own slice of the exquisite seascape on offer.
A raked verandah at the back of the house overlooks the pool and barbecue nook with gas provisions, whilst a relaxing poolside gazebo deck has lots of room around it for entertaining - plus enjoys an ocean view of its own. Gated steps lead down to a private backyard-lawn area and a paved sitting courtyard from which to take in those sensual sea breezes.
Right by the home's entrance, a spacious and carpeted master-bedroom suite boasts sea glimpses, separate folding-door "his and hers" built-in wardrobes and a light, bright and original north-facing ensuite bathroom with twin-vanity basins, under-bench storage, a shower and double saloon-style doors into a two-way toilet - shared with a huge family room that can be shut off by a single foyer door. The latter is graced by high raked ceilings, split-system air-conditioning, a wood-burner fireplace, a built-in study nook (with a desk, shelves and storage) and flows out to the poolside verandah.
Downstairs, a lockable under-stair storeroom and a powered walk-in linen press provide the storage options, whilst the remote-controlled double lock-up garage is generous in its proportions - and plays host to high ceilings, ample power points, an internal shopper's entry door and a large powered side storeroom behind a sliding door.
All three spare bedrooms are carpeted for comfort, with the second bedroom also featuring a built-in double-door robe and its own intimate ensuite with a shower, vanity and under-bench storage. A powder room sits next door, whilst the third bedroom comprises of a desk, mirror, three doors of built-in robes and a splendid backyard aspect.
The fourth bedroom also looks out to the yard, whilst featuring its own desk and built-in double robe. The third/family bathroom is practical and has a bathtub, a showerhead, a vanity basin and under-bench storage. The separate laundry is functional and features a linen press and direct backyard access.
Upstairs, a commodious open-plan living and dining area is well-equipped with a split-system air-conditioning unit, a gas bayonet for heating and electric security window roller shutters. The sea view is simply an added bonus.
The open-plan kitchen and meals area only inches away is also large and plays host to another split-system unit, a gas bayonet, a fold-out Robinhood ironing board, ample power points and verandah access, where cafe shade blinds complement your path to the pool. The stylish kitchen itself features sleek granite-transformation bench tops and splashbacks, a breakfast bar, double sinks, a water-filter tap, a microwave recess, a huge appliance nook, a walk-in pantry, a stainless-steel range hood, a Westinghouse ceramic cooktop, a stainless-steel Bosch oven combination and a white Bosch dishwasher.
