Some homes impress with their position. Others with their size, character or versatility. Willowbank House brings all of these together in a home that is anything but ordinary.
Commanding an elevated corner position in one of Gerringong's established pockets, this substantial residence captures ocean views in one direction and the dramatic escarpment in the other, while keeping the village, coastline, cafés and beaches wonderfully close.
From the moment you step inside, there is a sense of space that continues to unfold. Generous living and entertaining areas are complemented by five bedrooms and five bathrooms, creating a home with the scale to comfortably accommodate family and guests without ever feeling crowded.
One of its greatest strengths is its flexibility. Fully self-contained accommodation, complete with its own kitchen, living area, bedroom and ensuite, creates genuine separation for extended family, visiting friends or older children, while also presenting an appealing opportunity for those looking to generate additional income or explore its potential as a separate investment.
Throughout the interiors, warmth and individuality take the place of the predictable. Timber flooring, stained glass detailing and traditional influences give the home a wonderful sense of character, while two internal fireplaces bring warmth and atmosphere to the living spaces. Large windows and elevated outlooks connect the interiors beautifully with the surrounding landscape.
Outside, established gardens filled with camellias, roses and weeping cherry trees create a private and colourful backdrop, with verandahs and balconies offering places to sit, entertain and take in the outlook throughout the seasons.
Entertaining has been equally well considered. A covered alfresco area with adjustable louvres extends the living outdoors, while a custom circular spa-pool, outdoor shower and dedicated outdoor fireplace and barbecue area create a setting made for long summer afternoons, relaxed lunches and evenings spent around the fire.
Behind the home's character is an impressive level of practicality, with solar power, whole-home water filtration, automated garden irrigation, reverse-cycle air conditioning, a multi-camera security system, double garaging and additional off-street parking all adding to the ease of everyday living.
Set across approximately 660sqm and offering around 285sqm of internal living, Willowbank House presents something increasingly difficult to find in Gerringong - a genuinely substantial home with room for everyone, without the upkeep of an oversized parcel of land.
Private yet connected, character-filled yet highly functional, this is a home that can change and adapt with the people who live within it.
For those seeking space, flexibility and individuality in one of the South Coast's most loved coastal villages, Willowbank House is a home that deserves to be experienced.
