This utterly endearing residence beautifully blends period features with inclusions to meet modern demands. Runner-up for the 2003 HIA award for best renovations and additions, it retains all the character of its California bungalow heritage.
Leadlight windows continue to grace the facade. Vaulted ceilings soar above polished timber floors, and picture rails still extend along walls in the three huge bedrooms. Double glass doors that lead to the front verandah indicate that one of the bedrooms may have once been used as a formal lounge and could be again if desired. In the master, a gas log fire cleverly replaces the grate beneath the original mantle. An ensuite adds opulence and French doors here, as well as in the living area, directly access a central courtyard where a sheltered sundeck sits alongside a pretty garden.
Awash with natural light, an elegant open plan living zone is flanked by this inviting alfresco area as well as one at the rear. Heating and cooling is ducted throughout the interior for constant comfort.
Stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher and double wall oven are housed amongst an abundance of cupboards in the kitchen. A vintage industrial timber bench infuses country charm, plus supplies picturesque and practical storage.
Beyond the covered rear deck, what seems to be a quaint cottage is actually a two car garage. Equipped with several windows, a sink, lengthy bench and extensive shelving, it doubles as an excellent studio / workshop. An outdoor shower in the back garden comes in handy after trips to nearby beaches too.
Just a few doors from sporting facilities and a very short stroll to the shopping precinct, this superior address is only around 400 metres to the seashore. Long established in an enchanting historic fishing village, this gorgeous property is certainly is the sort to steal hearts!
