For more than 42 years, the original owners of 15 Bridge Avenue have lovingly built, lived in and cared for this remarkable home. When a family chooses to remain somewhere for over four decades, it speaks volumes - about the home itself, the lifestyle it offers, and the sense of belonging it provides.
This is not just bricks and mortar. It is a home you feel the moment you step inside.
Perched proudly above the peaceful waters of Slaters Creek and framed by established, picture-perfect gardens, the home radiates warmth, charm and timeless character. Mature trees, lush greenery and the gentle sounds of birdlife create a private sanctuary that feels worlds away from the everyday.
Inside, the home's split-level design has been thoughtfully created to embrace both space and connection. As you enter the home, three generously sized bedrooms are positioned on the upper level, each with built-in robes. One enjoys its own private ensuite, while the remaining two are serviced by the well-appointed family bathroom, making this level ideal for children, guests or extended family.
Downstairs, the home opens into a beautiful living environment that has served as the heart of the home for decades. The expansive kitchen, living and dining area is filled with natural light, enhanced by the soaring raked ceilings that create a wonderful sense of openness and architectural charm. At its centre, a wood-fired heater brings both warmth and ambience - the perfect gathering place for winter evenings, family meals and relaxed conversation.
From here, the home transitions seamlessly outdoors onto the generous timber deck. Elevated above the gardens and overlooking Slaters Creek, it's a space designed for quiet mornings and long summer evenings. The outlook is calming, with leafy surrounds and glimpses of the water beyond.
Also positioned on this level is the master suite - a peaceful retreat that feels wonderfully private. Complete with its own sitting room, ensuite and beautiful timber French doors opening directly onto the deck, it offers the perfect place to start the day with a cup of tea while watching the morning light dance across the water and gardens.
The magic of this property, however, extends well beyond the home itself.
Follow the garden path down to the water's edge and you'll discover one of the property's most special features - a timber pier nestled beside the creek. Over the years, this space has been used for entertaining, relaxing and simply enjoying nature. Sitting here, surrounded by water, birdlife and the gentle movement of the creek, you truly feel as though you are floating within the landscape. It is peaceful, rare and incredibly special.
Offering four generous bedrooms and three bathrooms, this is a home designed for living - for growing families, for gathering with friends and for creating memories that last a lifetime.
For almost half a century, 15 Bridge Avenue has been the backdrop to one family's story - a place of laughter, milestones, celebrations and quiet everyday moments.
Now, with hearts full of memories, the owners are ready to pass the baton to the next family who will love this home just as deeply as they have.
Being located on the water's edge is rare for several important reasons - particularly in established areas like Oak Flats and around Slaters Creek.
Waterfront land is naturally limited. Creeks, lakes and waterways only have a small number of properties that directly border them, and once homes are built on those parcels, very few new opportunities are created.
Homes on the water tend to be tightly held for long periods of time. Once people experience the lifestyle - the views, the serenity, the birdlife and the sense of space - they rarely want to leave. That's why many waterfront homes, like this one, remain in the same family for decades.
Waterfront living offers something you simply can't replicate elsewhere. The outlook constantly changes with the light, the tides and the seasons. Bi
