Cushioned amongst glorious gardens and with a number of relaxed alfresco areas to enjoy, this double-brick cottage close to the centre of town strikes just the right notes for a charmed beach life.

Designed to capture cool breezes that float across from the ocean in summer, the sunny open-plan living and dining connects fluidly with a large undercover deck that overlooks the front garden. This will become the all-weather spot for a cup of tea and a catch up when friends pop round.

At the side of the house, an in-ground saltwater pool and adjoining lawn area to dry off after a dip provides yet another place to relax. From here, wander to the back of the house where an enclosed decked area surrounded by palms will be a favourite play area for the kids, while you keep an eye on them from the kitchen.

In great condition, the spacious kitchen has lots of cabinet space, gas cooking and stone benchtops. And the well-maintained bathroom features a bath and separate standing shower.

Grouped together and tucked away from the living zone, the bedrooms are so peaceful that through the open windows at night, youll be able to hear the gentle crash of the ocean, which is less than a five minute stroll from here.
Rounding up the package is a lock-up garage, but its the location that really sweetens the deal. Avalon village is an easy 10-minute walk away, and theres a coffee shop just on the corner.

With undeniable appeal, this gorgeous beach house is just the ticket for small and growing families.
