Sitting high on the hill in one of Margate's most desirable pockets, this beautifully updated character cottage captures the essence of coastal living.
From the moment you arrive, the elevated position sets the tone for a lifestyle defined by ocean breezes, and an effortless connection to Moreton Bay.
Step inside, and you'll find a home where thoughtful updates blend seamlessly with timeless character.
The heart of the residence lies in the open-plan living and dining area, where polished timber floors and crisp interiors create a sense of calm. The lounge is air conditioned for year-round comfort, while large glass sliders invite you to step out to the expansive east-facing deck, where ocean views form the perfect backdrop to your morning coffee or evening entertaining.
With privacy louvres to one side, this outdoor retreat feels both private and open, making it a true extension of the home.
The kitchen, designed with both functionality and sophistication in mind, features Miele appliances, a gas cooktop, and an abundance of storage and preparation space. It's a hub made for family gatherings and entertaining friends.
The master bedroom extends effortlessly onto the deck through sliding doors, while two additional bedrooms provide ample room for family or guests. Each bedroom is finished with ceiling fans for comfort, while a renovated bathroom, and soft timber tones throughout enhance the home's welcoming feel.
The lower level presents a versatile blank canvas-previously used for storage and workspace, but ready for the new owner's vision.
The terraced backyard, accessed via two street frontages from Sampson Street, provides secure fencing, leafy gardens, and space for children or pets to play. With its prized position just off Oxley Avenue, this address ensures easy access to the foreshore, local shops, and main arterials.
