Space, pool and garaging for three. All on one level.
Set on a 730sqm corner block in one of Coogee's most elevated pockets, this is a home made for the way coastal families actually live: room for everyone, a pool for summer and gardens that asks very little of you.
Life here runs to the coast, and the coast is close. Coogee Beach is barely moments away, with its jetty, summer pontoons and year-round swimming enclosure, a surf club and a café for the coffee after a morning swim. Head a little north and the Omeo shipwreck snorkel trail and Port Coogee Marina turn an ordinary Saturday into a day out, while Coogee Common and its kitchen garden take care of the long lunch. Woodman Point's beaches and trails sit to the south, Manning Park's stairs and lookout to the north.
Built at a time when workmanship was elite, and with an array of modern materials and finishes incorporated since, the home offers 340sqm of total area, planned for a family that wants space from each other as much as time together. Double timber doors open to a front lounge and study that close off from the rest of the house: a proper work-from-home zone, or simply the quiet end.
Beyond, the kitchen is the centre of the home, with an expansive island bench, gas cooking, and a striking vaulted ceiling with exposed timber. Meals, dining and a second living room sit around it, finished with blackbutt timber floors, plantation shutters and split-system air conditioning. There is plenty to like.
The master suite takes the front of the home with two walk-in robes and a full height tiled ensuite. Placed far away, are three further bedrooms run along the hallway with built-in robes, and adjoin the main bathroom, separate WC and an updated laundry. Outside is where the weekends go. The living and meals areas open to a wide wrap around veranda and alfresco beside the pool and spa, with a second raised patio and timber deck at the far end. The gardens are deliberately simple: the front lawn is the only grass you will ever have mowed.
Garaging is a real strength. An extra-height double garage fronts Careening Way, while a separate single garage, operating as an optional workshop has its own gated access from Cyprus Court. That is room under cover for three cars, or two cars and a serious workshop.
And if you ever needed more, this home does not lack potential. While you may capture the odd ocean glimpse as you walk around the property, the potential ocean views if a second storey was added, could be simply captivating.
A single-level home with this much room, this close to the beach, on a 730sqm corner block with 'clear and present' potential. Whatever the headlines are saying, that does not come up often in Coogee.
