What a perfect place to raise a young family with the distant sound of the waves as you step outside, and the popular Seven Mile Beach approximately three minutes walk down the street! First time on the market, this home is incredibly deceptive. Set on over 1,200sqm of level land, the beautiful, private backyard will be the space everyone will be drawn to, whether you're kicking a ball with children, relaxing on the deck enjoying breakfast in the sun, or just spending time playing with your family pets who will love the space in this enclosed rear yard. Access from here into the enormous double garage is a huge plus if you love tinkering in between. The garage is large enough to accommodate several vehicles and also incorporate a large workshop and/or studio.
The floorplan of this surprising home is great for families with the main bedroom, walk through robe and ensuite close to the other two generous sized bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes. The main bathroom has a separate shower, vanity and bath with an adjoining separate toilet alongside. Many of the original features including the slate tiles in the entrance, the brick fireplace surround and timber mantle in the lounge, and the blackwood kitchen, are reminiscent of its 1980's era. The sunken lounge with wood heater is a place you could imagine bunkering down in on a cold night with the fire ablaze, snuggled up feeling warm and cosy inside. The spacious kitchen has ample cupboards and overlooks the sun-filled family room. While the kitchen is not contemporary, it is certainly functional and fulfills the daily requirements of a busy family schedule. This could be a future renovation project in years to come. A more formal dining room links the kitchen to the sunken lounge, but could easily be used as a study, depending on your family needs.
The home's northerly aspect attracts all day sun into the family, kitchen and dining rooms, with sliding doors opening out onto the low-profile deck and paved courtyard, ideal for entertaining with friends/family and for children and pets to play safely. This makes it practical and easy for everyday living and that great indoor/outdoor lifestyle this beachside location attracts.
Due to the size of the land, there is the possibility of being able to add an auxiliary building or convert the huge garage to teenager/parental accommodation (STCA).
Less than 350 metres from Lewis Park Playground, there are many tracks to explore in the area and activities from bike riding, paddling or swimming in the bay to enjoy. Alternatively, you can easily "chillax" around home in the privacy of your own backyard or inside!
Within an easy walk to the corner shop and take-away, close to the bus route and around 20 minutes drive to the City with a selection of schooling and daycare facilities en-route, you will love the convenience of this home while being able to sit back and enjoy the soothing sounds of the waves on the beach at night. What a special and truly surprising place to call home after the beach beckons you!
