Think of your wishlist for the perfect family home five minutes from the beach: generous modern kitchen, bathrooms renewed in stunning style, a home office, a playroom, serene master suite with extensive walk-in robes, a theatre room or games room with built-in bar, a separate workshop or mancave, and open-plan living flowing to the alfresco and entertaining by the pool. All of that is here, in a quiet street with virtually no through traffic, walking distance to shopping, cafes and primary school, and with beautiful natural wetland walking trails around the corner.
Framed by immaculate gardens, this lovely home has a solid traditional street presence in natural brick and iron, and inside it all feels open and light. The study is at the front, ideal for working from home, and a low wall surrounds a flexible space perfect for a playroom or activity area. The master bedroom is delightful, with leafy outlooks, a long walk-through robe and a large, finely appointed en-suite.
Double doors mark the entry to the open-plan, where the big family kitchen has everything you need, including masses of white cabinetry, walk-in pantry, and a wide angled island bench in engineered stone. Solid timber floors flow in the living space, and there's an additional room for entertaining and relaxation, with a bar complete with a sink built-in to a wine barrel. It all opens up to the alfresco by the solar-heated pool, plus a daybed for lounging in the gazebo. The brick workshop is a real bonus: for tackling projects, or just retreating from the world. It has power and plumbing, plus its own toilet, handily located by the pool.
The family bathroom has been renovated in style with a chic freestanding bath, and a separate toilet by the laundry. Three bedrooms nearby are all generous in size, with ceiling fans and built-in-robes. The double garage is oversized to fit large vehicles, and long side access is easily configured for parking a boat or caravan. All of those practicalities have been considered for functionality including solar power, reverse-cycle air-conditioning, security alarm and reticulation.
It's a really family friendly part of the world, with great parks and playgrounds, and where the neighbours look out for each other. And you can't beat being this close to the beach, with the ocean just five minutes away.
