36 River Street, New Brighton NSW 2483

For many years New Brighton has been one of the hidden gems of the North Coast. Largely unchanged for decades, it is a rare pocket of original cottages in an idyllic setting between the river and the ocean. The owners of this 1920's fisherman's cottage commissioned leading architect Paul Uhlmann and he has transformed it into a stylish designer home. The white timber walls, high ceilings and tallow-wood floors will bring back memories of family holidays and happy times by the beach. An open plan kitchen and living room with bi-fold glass doors opens up to a large verandah, perfect for entertaining. This sunny, eastern deck has ocean glimpses and features cedar shutters which allow full enclosure for privacy and protection from the weather. The kitchen window opens right up to a deck with views of the hills beyond the river. The bedrooms are all generous in size with plenty of room in two for a study or home office. The bathrooms are also large, with stunning use of mosaic tiles and louvered views of the lush gardens. Two street frontages allow front and rear access and make for an easy walk to the beach. A stroll away is the general store and Post Office, with the Yum Yum Cafe next door and the popular Tuesday Farmers market at the local oval. Nothing has been overlooked in this stylish and unique property. Inspections are sure to impress.
