Imagine waking up to birdsong each morning while overlooking a truly magical garden which adjoins the foreshore. Then, in the evening, looking up to the starry night sky while listening to the soothing sounds of the waves rolling in and out.
This charming cottage has been loved by the original owner, and this is the first time it is being offered to the market. It has many special features, including timber French doors and beautiful parquetry flooring, which add an element of warmth to the home.
There are covered front and back verandahs, with the back verandah sure to be a favourite spot, with direct ocean views and a gorgeous garden oasis.
Other features include a country-style timber kitchen that looks out to the sea and tropical gardens, as well as an open-plan dining/living room which takes full advantage of the views and breezes all year round.
There are established lawns, vegetable gardens and fruit trees including bananas, limes, mandarins, cumquats, vanilla beans, and mulberries.
This is a quaint and cosy home you will certainly feel a sense of peace and tranquility from the moment you enter the front door.
The property really is deserving of the phrase "Home Sweet Home" and is now ready to welcome its new owner who will enjoy a lifestyle to be treasured for many years to come.
If you seek a slower pace of life in a close-knit community while living by the ocean, this could be exactly what you are looking for. Or this could be ideal as a weekend retreat.
Seller's Reflection…
Within days of driving past the block of land that is now home for me at No 29 Augusta Drive, my partner and I became the owners.
The quick decision came about by the positive emotions we felt as we stood looking east to the sea and west to the beautiful mountains. The land covered with paper bark trees welcomed us.
Prior to building, we came mostly on a Sunday to sit, picnic and plan. Within the home that was built, the timber features give a welcoming warmth. The French doors open wide from four rooms enabling the breezes to enter and cool the area.
The south easterlies are viewed and enter through the kitchen windows. Looking out to the colourful tropical garden, fruit trees and vegetables have their own section of the land and reward the household with bananas, limes, mandarins, cumquats, vanilla and mulberries.
Sun rises and sun sets viewed from the verandah are varied and inform the household of what is to come, weather wise. By treading lightly in all that was planned and implemented, the positive and welcoming feeling of the first day remains and is my wish that this to be handed on.
