Just 350 Metres from the Esplanade
Built in 1985 in the Australian Colonial Homestead style, this lovely home is full of character.
If you love the shabby chic/Hamptons/beach cottage style, you would have a great time redecorating with lots of white paint and soft cottons.
A picket fence and bull-nose veranda create street appeal, while features such as wainscoting on some internal walls adds to the charm.
And just like grandma’s house, the back yard has an abundance of fruit trees, a vegetable plot and some roses.
The home is very secure, with grilles on all windows and doors, perfect if you will be using it as a weekender.
With four bedrooms and two bathrooms, this make a great family home close to the beach and also close to schools.
The separate formal living area has a split system reverse cycle air conditioner.
The renovated kitchen is sympathetic to the traditional style, and it has a walk-in pantry.
It is open plan with the spacious dining area featuring a skylight and ceiling fan.
Allergy free floors throughout, in a combination of pine, laminate and vinyl.
Bedrooms 1 and 2 are both doubles and have walk-in robes and ceiling fans.
Bedroom 3 is currently used as a craft room and will also take a double bed. The fourth bedroom is set up as a home office with external doors.
A fabulous gabled veranda offers plenty of sheltered outdoor entertaining space.
There is a single garage with roller door and a great workshop with power.
With a block frontage of almost 23 metres, the second driveway offers a convenient parking space for a caravan or boat, or a trade vehicle.
It appears that at one time, before the home office / fourth bedroom was constructed, there would have been access to the back yard straight through the garage, or carport as it may have been.
This means that you could potentially return it to a three bedroom home with drive through access to a garage at the back, subject to Council consent.
This could be very useful if you have several vehicles to keep under cover, and remember, there is another driveway on the other side of the house.
If the cookie cutter new homes are not your style, this charming home could be just what you are looking for.
And if you want something with character to renovate, here it is!
