Just one street back from the Esplanade; this appealing three-bedroom home on 560 sqm is bursting with potential and offers a rare and exciting opportunity to create your dream beachside paradise.

Move in and enjoy the neat and tidy accommodation; gorgeous forties features and recent value-adding upgrades including new wiring and instantaneous gas hot water.

Striking Deco ceilings and polished timber floors are winning highlights of the master bedroom and spacious living area, which also boasts a sunny triple aspect and wood-burning stove to keep you toasty warm all winter long.

With plenty of room for day-to-day living and entertaining; dine here or in the adjoining eat-in kitchen, recently updated with attractive cream storage, new bench tops and a brand new stove.

The off-white ceramic floor tiles that flow through to the central hallway are a practical and stylish choice for beachside living.

Three well-proportioned bedrooms include a large, attached, carpeted studio, offering versatile options as a rumpus, teen retreat or separate office from which to run a home-based business.

The dual-aspect master bedroom is also extremely spacious. Here a spectacular Deco ceiling supplies the wow factor and there is plenty of built-in storage.

More storage is provided in the central hallway leading to a second bedroom under the main roof and the interconnecting wet areas, comprising a full bathroom, separate toilet and good-sized laundry.

Enjoy quiet and private relaxation in the lawned backyard where a high rendered wall on the southern side creates a Mediterranean backdrop for al fresco dining beneath a large sun sail. A prepared veggie patch and large iron shed are welcome extras in this secluded area that is also secure for children and pets.

The home, which also boasts new security shutters, is set well back from the street providing a deep front garden with plenty of off-street parking in the long driveway leading to a single carport.

Brilliantly close to the beach, public transport and Westfield Shopping Complex, this gem of a property will dazzle in the hands of the creative renovator and is a must for early inspection.
