Waterfront serenity, where every day feels like a gentle escape 2 Short Street, New Brighton, is a rare coastal sanctuary where life slows down and every day feels like a holiday. Perfectly positioned between the ocean and river, this elevated family home captures the dreamy essence of Northern Rivers living, where surf, sand, and still water become part of your daily rhythm. Mornings begin with golden light spilling across the water, a barefoot walk to the beach, or an early surf as the world gently wakes. Afternoons drift easily between long lunches on the deck, salty swims, and paddleboarding or kayaking as the river softens into glass. As evening arrives, the sky turns warm and pastel, inviting you to sit back and simply watch the day fade. Inside, the home feels light, airy, and deeply welcoming. High ceilings and polished timber floors create a sense of calm space, while elevated windows invite in ocean breezes and natural light throughout the day. Upstairs offers three generous bedrooms and two bathrooms, thoughtfully arranged for comfort and ease. Downstairs, a flexible lower-level space opens possibilities for creative pursuits, working from home, or extended family stays. Wraparound verandahs draw you outward at every turn, offering peaceful river glimpses and a seamless connection between indoors and out. It's the kind of home where breezes move freely, and time feels unhurried. Practical touches are beautifully considered, supporting the rhythm of coastal life. A double garage, study, workshop, and abundant storage make room for everything from surfboards to kayaks and weekend adventure gear, while the outdoor shower becomes a daily ritual after the beach. A substantial 13.26kW solar system (recently installed in 2021) enhances sustainable, low-impact living across the generous 743m² block. Tucked within a friendly, community-rich pocket, everything you need is close at hand-a local café, general store, post office, and golf course-yet the feeling is one of complete escape. Byron Bay is just around 15 minutes away, and Gold Coast Airport is approximately 30 minutes away, placing world-class beaches, dining, and travel within easy reach while still preserving a sense of quiet seclusion. This is more than a home-it's a coastal dream made real, where every day feels softly held by the ocean, the river, and the light.
