Lashings of Charm, Unlimited Potential, Architectural Bones
Calling aficionados of the early 80's architecture and renovators – you are
going to fall in love with this charming architecturally designed and solidly
built 510m2 double storey residence, exuding the wonderful warmth and
character of its era, as well as providing clear potential to reimagine and
value-add on this huge 1200m2 double block backing onto national park.
What an opportunity!
Greeted at entry by a floor to ceiling 7-metre glass void setting the tone
for what is quite the step back in time, you cannot help but fall more than
a little in love with this faded beauty, which can be cosmetically enhanced
and transformed into an absolute stunner once again.
Backing directly onto the national park, the outlook is breathtaking, with
glorious sunsets a daily highlight, an abundance of wildlife and birdlife
reminding you of your close proximity to nature, and the leafy,
established garden creates shade, provides pops of greenery and colour,
and enhances privacy.
A well-designed floor plan facilitates excellent separation of living as well
as providing versatile options – there is a 7.3mx3.3m studio/multipurpose
room with its own external entry that could suit guest accommodation or
work-from-home; and there is also the possibility of creating dual living
for the extended family.
All the features that make this vintage increasingly adored, very much
starting to come back into vogue – including slate flooring, internal brick
walls, sash windows, skylight, and raked timber lined ceilings are present;
and there is a cosy fireplace to keep you warm in winter, plus fans and
air-conditioning (plus the in ground pool) to keep you cool in summer; it's
very much a home for all seasons.
Whether purchasing to renovate/reimagine or even rebuild, blocks of this
size are rarer than unicorns; and with its resplendent national park
backdrop, you cannot overcapitalize, whatever you choose to do. Tightly
held for over 20+ years, and once occupied by the home's builder himself,
this is a home with an interesting narrative and an exciting future.
Tucked away in leafy, well established residential street with
neighbourhood traffic only, just an 8-minute walk via a walking track to
the beach, and only a few minutes' drive to the village hub with boutique
dining, retail, surf club, IGA, tavern, bimonthly markets and more…it's
truly the best of both worlds, national park to ocean.
"This is such an interesting residence; it has a history, a heart and soul,
and is one of those properties with a strong charisma and personality;
although a little tired, it has exceptional potential and I personally cannot
wait to see what its next chapter holds," remarks Tom Offermann Real
Estate agent Tracy Russell.
