Gerringong's golden beaches and year-round holiday vibe have long attracted holidaymakers to its streets. But with slices of that coastal nostalgia becoming rare, this unique property offers a mix of original and modern.
Meet 65 Jupiter Street – a home of two halves, with an exciting secret. Situated at the quiet end of town and just a short walk from the ocean, cafes and schools, it already has plenty going for it.
Out front, in the shade of banksia and tea tree, the original cottage contains a single bedroom, bathroom and open plan lounge/kitchen. This charming space is completely habitable as is, but the existing approved DA will transform it into 3 bedrooms and a main bathroom.
To get a taste for what modern might look like, simply step through to the back half of the home. Here, the current owners have spared no expense in creating the ultimate 'sanctuary among the trees', starting with a vast airconditioned living space filled with natural light. From the stunning terrazzo floors and skirting to the custom-sourced Italian FENIX kitchen island and benches, nothing here is 'off the rack'.
If you love cooking or entertaining, the 900mm SMEG oven, gas cooking, integrated dishwasher, Japanese tiles and quality fixtures will make preparing everything from a bite to a banquet a real pleasure. The kitchen is the centrepiece of this new addition – overlooking the soaring 4m-high living space, complete with side sconce lighting, timber fire place and giant arched window framing the mulberry tree beyond. It's here that you can also step out to an enclosed outdoor deck – flanked by the spotted gum cladding and Aneete sashless windows.
Venture further to find the master bedroom, with stunning curved wall and feature ceiling fan, while the walk-in wardrobe and custom-tiled ensuite maintain the same incredible attention to detail. There's also space for a laundry, stepping out to a yard with a separate shed – the ideal space for an artist's studio or gym.
This is a property that needs to be seen to appreciate the modern space already built and the potential to continue this vision throughout – with ample scope to add your own touches along the way. With an established garden teeming with everything from tree ferns to fragrant lemon myrtle, lilly pillys and Japanese maple, this is not your typical modern build. The groundwork has been laid for a truly unique 4-bedroom home. Take a voyage to Jupiter and fall in love for yourself.
