Set on an extremely rare and totally secluded 860 sqm block, with wide frontage, great elevation and brimming with possibilities, this wonderful, feel-good home not only captures cool ocean breezes and presents total seclusion, but presents endless opportunities to renovate, add-to or develop in a highly sought-after coastal location.
With original charm and character of its time and strong hardwood bones, this deceptively spacious and versatile cottage-style home is superbly positioned, in a tightly held pocket, that has the CBD, Town Beach, local swimming pool and numerous amenities within walking distance.
The cottage itself has had some updates, but is very much still in original condition. It has a warm welcoming feel, packed with unique features such as high ceilings, hardwood floors, mosaic tiling and ornate cornices. As you enter the home you are greeted by a deceptively large, light-filled floorplan. The versatile layout includes a huge lounge at the front of the home with incredible brick fire place, a formal dining room (possibly third bedroom) and adjoining kitchen. The kitchen has solid timber cabinetry, silky oak benchtops, features gas cooking and plenty of storage and bench space to work with.
To the rear of the kitchen, a cosy rumpus/study room provides a very practical second living space and as you head down the hallway to the other side of the home, there are two great-sized bedrooms and one family bathroom, which is in original but in well-maintained condition.
The real standout feature of this home is its incredible outdoor oasis. A large entertainers (or relaxers) sunroom at the rear of the home is big enough to host the largest of family get-togethers and it opens directly out to the magical back yard and gardens. Filled with native plants and an abundance of organic vegetable gardens, and numerous fresh fruit and nut trees including avocado, banana and macadamia to name just a few. This incredible space offers the option for kids, pets or avid gardeners to thrive in total privacy and peace. There is even plenty of space to add a pool, extend the home, add a granny flat or even develop to the back, without impacting the home itself.
In addition to a single garage, great bonus features of the property include extremely wide side access, an enormous double carport, which is high enough to store the largest of motorhomes or boats, plus a multitude of shed and storage options in the back yard.
In this highly sought after location, the option to knock down and create a luxury duplex development or simply add another dwelling on the block is also something that may also be considered.
This inviting, character home situated on an awesome 860 sqm, is an opportunity not to be missed and in this location, could be the coastal escape happy ever more you have been searching for. Contact the team at HEM property now to book your private inspection.
