Coastal Rhapsody, A Bright And Breezy Family Beach House With Ocean Views And Teen Retreat
With their shared passion for design and a love of relaxed coastal living, owners Smyth & Smyth have transformed their classic Californian bungalow into a beachy bohemian dream. Just one street back from the ocean, between Lurline Bay and Maroubra Beach, the double-fronted beach house rests on a sprawling 550sqm approx block with a lush garden and views to the ocean. Catering to the needs of a large family, the four-bedroom home features outdoor spaces for lounging or entertaining and a separate teen retreat with a private garden entry. Natural light, fresh air and lots of greenery bring a close connection with nature and the outdoors while effortlessly relaxed interiors reveal an eclectic blend of mid-century design and beach house style. Perfect as is, it's the potential to add a level taking advantage of northerly views to Bondi that will really capture your imagination. With Mahon Pool just around the corner, it's a short walk along the coast to the golden sands and rolling surf of Maroubra Beach.
