Amid the rush of modern life, this enchanting coastal cottage offers the rare luxury of stillness. Just 100 metres from the golden sands of Mermaid Beach, it has been lovingly restored to blend timeless character with contemporary elegance.
The kind of place that welcomes sandy feet across warm hardwood floors, it's bathed in natural light that dances through the open-plan kitchen, dining and living spaces, where sea breezes drift through in summer and a crackling fireplace beckons in winter.
Mornings begin with a swim, surf or sunrise stroll along the shore, and evenings unfold beneath a lush green arbour, with dinner and drinks under the glow of festoon lights. A truly magical sanctuary where nostalgia meets luxe coastal living.
Three bright and breezy bedrooms offer carefree comfort, while front and back lawns offer a place to get grounded, with the grass beneath your feet and fruit trees and veggie gardens to harvest. The backyard is a thoughtfully curated oasis, brimming with life and flavour. Mature citrus trees, peach, avocado, fig, Tahitian guava and mulberry create a lush, fruitful retreat that feels a world away from the city. A true sanctuary for the senses, this garden also boasts a chef-worthy herb patch - a culinary dream for those who love to cook, entertain, and create.
Plus, take advantage of the proximity to Nobby and Mermaid Beach cafes, restaurants, and bars, including The Oxley, a boutique retail and dining precinct that locals adore. So, whether you're searching for a soul-soothing weekender close to iconic Hedges Avenue or a laid-back beach house that offers a nostalgic glimpse back in time, this is where you can exhale. Rediscover life's simple pleasures. Arrange your inspection today.
