The home itself has evolved alongside its family. Once a humble shack, today it is a sprawling, character-filled residence designed to accommodate multiple generations. The main bedroom wing boasts its own sitting area, bathroom, and access to the sun-drenched front deck. At the heart of the home lies an expansive living and dining space, anchored by a sandstone fireplace, dramatic timber ceilings, and full wall to wall glass picture windows framing the Tollgate Islands. It's the perfect vantage point to watch migrating whales or the family playing on the sand below.
A separate wing houses three more bedrooms, each with ocean views, plus a second character filled, retro bathroom that is in perfect harmony with the vibe of the whole home. There is a flexible utility space, plus a versatile additional bedroom with external access and kitchenette facilities ideal as a home office, art studio, or private guest retreat. Original features abound, from original light fittings and wallpaper to the shag-pile carpets that hark back to the home's colourful history.
Outdoors, the enclosed front yard has been the scene of countless cricket matches, while the rear garden has hosted weddings, Christmases, and milestone celebrations, all against the backdrop of a world-class coastal view. A tandem carport, outdoor beach shower, storage sheds and plenty of off-street parking add to the practicality of this coastal haven.
