There's a reason homes in this part of Curry Street rarely change hands. It's the kind of place where neighbours look out for each other, kids walk safely to school, and weekend life flows between the beach, the local cafés, and the front yard under the mulberry tree that everyone knows. It's not just a home here, it's a community.
This double-brick beauty captures that same spirit inside. Originally built in the 1940s and extended over time, it balances timeless character with all the right updates for modern family life. Leadlight glass, high ceilings, and diamond-pattern window grilles nod to its heritage, while multiple skylights fill the home with natural light and warmth.
Functionality has been carefully thought through at every turn, and the storage is exceptional. From the attic (with pull-down ladder) to the floor-to-ceiling custom robes and the generous walk-in robe in the master, there's a place for absolutely everything. There's even a mudroom cupboard by the front door that's big enough to hold all the shoes, beach chairs, and parasols, plus wine storage tucked away downstairs.
The split-level layout offers flexibility for families of all ages. The parents' retreat crowns the upper level, a quiet sanctuary with a custom walk-in robe, ensuite, and private verandah to catch the ocean breeze with your morning coffee. The main level connects everyday living with ease. A welcoming formal lounge flows into the formal dining room and family room with a spacious, updated island kitchen at the heart of the home.
Downstairs, a large rumpus room with its own entry opens up endless options. Use as guest accommodation, a home office with direct client access, or a hangout zone for teenagers wanting their own space. Both bathrooms are neat and functional as they are, with plenty of scope to update in your own time and style.
Outdoors, the long driveway and 3.5m x 4.8m carport make parking effortless or transform the space into an all-weather entertaining area where kids can ride scooters and play safely off the street.
Location is everything here. Less than a 10 minute walk to the sand and surf at Merewether Beach and the ocean baths, with The Junction precinct's shopping and dining precinct just a short stroll further. Kids can walk to Holy Family Primary or easily catch local buses, while the cafés and essentials on Llewellyn Street are just 750m away offering post office, chemist, vet, doctor's surgery, IGA and casual eateries where locals gather post-surf. You're also within easy reach of Gibbs Brothers Oval, Townsend Oval, and favourites like Modus, The Beach Hotel, and Mary Ellen for a relaxed dinner or drink.
Warm, character-filled, and incredibly practical, this home offers an exceptional lifestyle in a street that still has a genuine sense of community, the kind that's getting harder to find.
