Shining with north sun, sparkling with fresh polish, Wakefield C. 1885 offers an invaluable opportunity for gracious period living at this Golden beachside address. Iron-laced and bay-windowed less than 10 doors to the beach-crossing, this three bedroom Victorian beauty unfolds in free-flowing with a formal lounge spilling into sun-filled casual living, while French-doors open northwards to a covered patio and easy-care paved gardens beyond. Timeless by design with a sparkling Miele appliance and Calacatta marble kitchen (with integrated dishwasher) echoing the bay-windowed facade, this classic beauty retains its original spirit with a period-inspired bathroom with marble-topped vanity (this time, Carrera), and a handy separate WC. Styled with a separate laundry with immense farmhouse-sink, this centrally heated and split-system air-conditioned home features vintage fireplaces (2 gas-fitted for everyday use), and privacy-enhancing plantation-shutters all against a backdrop of lofty 3m ceilings, pretty picture rails, and rich Baltic pine and Australian hardwood floors. Set in carefree lawn-free grounds beyond a sympathetically-styled double carport, there’s all-day sun to entertain in, and a fruitful feature-lit landscape of old orchard trees to provide shade. With 2200L water-storage to keep the garden lush and an 18-panel solar-energy system to keep power bills down, this well-appointed home even has a choice of secure sheds to store the board, bikes and boat-bits! Set on the sweep of this iconic Golden Triangle address, just 200m to the pedestrian crossing to Half Moon Bay, this sun-filled single-level beauty is just a few blocks to Black Rock's vibrant village shopping with the yacht club and lifesaving club just down the hill and a Golden lifestyle right here.
