There is an immediate sense of warmth and ease at 3 Tarnkun Street – a beautifully considered coastal home where natural light, privacy and effortless indoor-outdoor living come together.
Tucked away in a peaceful no-through street, the setting feels wonderfully private, yet the beach is only a 10 minute walk through Alex Forest. It offers that increasingly rare combination of tranquillity and convenience, moments from the coastline while still feeling removed from the busyness of everyday life.
Designed around its prized northern orientation, the home is filled with natural light and cooling breezes throughout the day. Extensive louvre windows encourage airflow, while carefully positioned screening and automated blinds manage privacy and the changing sun. The result is a home that feels comfortable through every season, requiring very little heating in winter and only occasional air conditioning through summer.
The main living areas flow naturally to the sun-drenched rear deck, swimming pool and beautifully remodelled gardens, creating an inviting place to relax, entertain or simply enjoy the privacy of the surrounds. Adjustable louvres provide protection from the western sun while giving the outdoor area the feel of another living room that can be enjoyed throughout the year.
One of the property's greatest strengths is its flexibility.
A separate, fully connected studio provides genuine separation from the main residence and is currently used as guest accommodation. It would be equally suited to a substantial home office, private accommodation for visiting family or adult children, creative space or potentially an Airbnb or granny flat.
Depending on how the spaces are used, the property can comfortably adapt from three bedrooms and a study with separate guest quarters, through to four bedrooms with a dedicated office, or potentially five bedrooms and three bathrooms.
For professionals working partly or entirely from home, couples wanting room for family and friends to stay, or those considering a move from a larger property without wanting to compromise on space, the layout offers enormous versatility.
Behind the home's relaxed coastal feel is an exceptional level of technology and energy infrastructure.
An 18kW solar system, dual 10kW inverters and substantial 19.3kWh battery are complemented by smart EV charging and whole-home backup in the event of a grid failure. The owners report grid usage of less than 0.5kWh per day, while surplus solar is also used to charge their EV and export energy back to the grid.
Whole-house water filtration, large rainwater tanks, FTTP gigabit internet and upgraded data wiring further enhance the home's efficiency and everyday functionality.
Over the past four years, considerable thought has also gone into refining the property. The gardens have been completely remodelled and replanted, additional louvres and external screening have enhanced both privacy and climate control, and remote-operated blinds have been incorporated throughout.
A remote entry gate, remote garage access, video intercom and integrated wine fridge complete an impressive list of considered inclusions.
