Overview

A Classic Robin Boyd Beach Shack in the Heart of Cowes Offers closing Thursday, 30 July, at 12:00 pm

A rare opportunity to secure a classic beach shack with architectural significance, 53 McKenzie Road, Cowes is a charming three-bedroom, two-bathroom home designed by influential Australian architect Robin Boyd as part of the iconic "Peninsula Home" concept. Originally created in the 1950s as an affordable, architect-designed coastal getaway, these homes are known for their simple linear plans, strong connection to the landscape and generous floor-to-ceiling windows - all elements that still shine through in this much-loved home. The true showstopper is the open-plan living area: spacious, light-filled and beautifully connected to the outdoors, with expansive floor-to-ceiling windows designed to capture the northern sun. Timber flooring adds warmth and character, while the wood fire creates the perfect cosy atmosphere for relaxed coastal living. The original kitchen adds a wonderful retro charm, offering a nostalgic nod to the home's mid-century roots. The property includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms, making the home ideal as a permanent residence, holiday retreat or future renovation project for those looking to preserve and enhance its architectural character. Positioned in a fantastic Cowes location, the property is only 500m from the dog-friendly bay beach and just a 10-minute walk to Thompson Avenue, where you can enjoy local shops, cafes and restaurants. Full of history, charm and potential this is a rare opportunity to secure an architectural gem on Phillip Island.
