38 Mountain Rd, Austinmer is a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom House with 2 parking spaces and was built in 1940. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in February 2022.
Set on approximately 992.7sqm in one of Austinmer's most tightly held coastal pockets, 38 Mountain Road is a rare private holding that brings together designer renovation, generous land, separate studio accommodation and a lush green outlook toward the escarpment.
Behind its timeless cottage frontage, the home opens into a striking contemporary retreat defined by soaring timber-lined ceilings, polished floors, custom joinery and expansive openings to a covered rear deck. The result is a home with warmth, volume and architectural character - calm, private and deeply connected to its garden setting.
