Quaint, unpretentious, and full of potential, this gorgeous beachfront home allows its multi-million-dollar views and oceanfront setting to do the talking. A genuine old-fashioned beach cottage, which originally served as the community store and post office, it emanates charm, character, and an ambience of idyllic, slowed down living. An eclectic, liveable layout maximises the ocean aspect and includes a patio with a front row seat to the horizon, open plan living/dining/kitchen, two ocean-facing bedrooms, and a separate study or second lounge with polished timber floors and original timber slatted windows. The private rear patio is a wonderful place to relax overlooking the established, easy-care gardens with fruit trees, plenty of shade, and a large garden shed. A paved pathway leads to a studio at the rear of the property, which serves as a peaceful guest retreat and has potential for conversion as Airbnb accommodation (STCA).
Located in a neighbourhood with a strong sense of community, the cottage is walking distance from the local café and beachfront restaurant. Encompassing the essence of carefree beachfront living against a soundtrack of waves and cooling sea breezes, this captivating property offers the promise of endless possibilities.
