Don't we all miss the feeling of the beach house of yesteryear? Whether it was time spent at your parents or grandparents house, enjoying the sunshine and all that came with being so close to the beach, or simply the feeling that you experienced when you walked through the front door of the home, admiring the building features of past decades.
There is something about the rich history of beach houses that appeal to the senses. They are homes of character, homes that could tell many stories, and, sadly, homes that we are now getting to enjoy much less often.
It almost seems as though this type of experience for us is a thing of the past, partly because the quintessential beach house is now the type of property that is so tightly held, that finding the right property to enjoy by the beach is all but impossible. That is, until now.
8 Harbour Street, right in the heart of beautiful Yamba, epitomises what it is that we have grown to love about a property by the beach.
The position here is unbeatable. Within seconds from your front door you can immediately place yourself in Yamba's main street, walk to the river and family-friendly beaches, or simply enjoy the walking tracks nearby. All of Yamba's spoils are not just close, but really close!
This isn't your average beach house either, it's one that is presented to perfection and offers an abundance of space. There is room here for the whole family, both inside and out.
The sleepout and high ceilings are just a couple of the first traditional features of this beach house that you see and can't help but love. Add to this three large bedrooms, two bathrooms, three living areas, air conditioning, and a large central kitchen, and you have a very homely residence for complete enjoyment.
Outdoor living is in abundance here, with your choice of a covered patio area, courtyard area with outdoor fire place, and a beautifully landscaped garden which is the perfect spot to simply sit and enjoy the sunshine.
As you take the opportunity to explore this home, it's easy to picture the family enjoying this traditional piece of paradise; be it a full morning of beach activities or fishing before returning home for lunch, followed by the kids grabbing ice cream at the shop just around the corner.
All of the fundamentals of the beach house dream are right here.
The site itself enjoys dual street frontage which not only makes parking at the rear a breeze, but also provides immense potential for the future. Sites like this are extremely rare!
Like many properties of this kind, 8 Harbour Street has been in the same family since the 1970's; proof that opportunities like this are almost impossible to find.
If it is a beach house with a heart that you are looking for, this could be your once in a generation opportunity to enjoy the beachside lifestyle that we have all come to love, and miss.
This one is simply too good to let pass you by. Auction day will be sale day, which means you have to be ready to bid!
