There are places you visit, and then there are places that stay with you. Hat Head is one of them.
Tucked between the pristine coastline, sparkling creek and surrounding national park, this much-loved Mid North Coast village feels wonderfully removed from the rush of everyday life. With just a handful of streets and quiet back lanes, the beach, creek, surf club and bowling club are all part of the neighbourhood a place where you can leave the car at home, walk to the water and enjoy life at a completely different pace.
And right in the heart of this remarkable little village is 3 Straight Street.
Offered for sale by the current family, this is a home filled with decades of memories. Now, reluctantly, the time has come for another family to make it their own.
Set on a substantial 844m² block with both street and rear-lane access, the solid brick and tile home occupies a wonderfully convenient position, just minutes on foot from the beach, Hat Head Surf Life Saving Club and bowling club.
The single-level home offers three bedrooms and generous, light-filled living spaces, with an easy-flowing floorplan perfectly suited to relaxed coastal living.
Recent improvements have freshened the interior while retaining the warmth and character of the home. The expansive open-plan living and dining area connects with the kitchen to create a genuine family hub, while multiple windows and doors draw in plenty of natural light.
This is the sort of home where you can arrive, unpack and immediately start enjoying Hat Head. Comfortable as it stands, yet with plenty of scope for a future owner to add their own style over time, it would make an outstanding permanent residence, coastal escape or holiday home.
And Then There's the Shed...
For anyone who knows Hat Head, this could be the feature that sets the property apart.
Positioned at the rear of the block with direct rear-lane access is a huge brick shed/workshop, constructed on a substantial concrete slab with impressive clearance and an abundance of usable space.
Boat, caravan, four-wheel drive, surfboards, fishing gear, workshop, storage there is room for the lot.
In a coastal village where boats, fishing, surfing and weekends on the water are part of everyday life, having this amount of secure space with independent rear access is an exceptional advantage.
And for buyers looking further ahead, the size and substantial construction of the building may present interesting possibilities for additional recreational or accommodation use, subject of course to council approval and the relevant planning requirements.
Outside, the generous block provides established lawns, fenced yard areas and plenty of space for children, pets and family gatherings. There is even an outdoor barbecue area ready for long summer afternoons after a morning at the beach.
This is Hat Head living.
Walk down the road and you are at one of the Mid North Coast's magnificent beaches. Head in another direction and you have the creek. Launch the boat, go fishing, grab the boards, walk to the club, or simply enjoy a village where the natural environment remains the main attraction.
Properties combining a large block, rear-lane access, substantial shedding and such close proximity to the beach are tightly held in Hat Head and 3 Straight Street demonstrates exactly why.
