Timeless Character in Byron's Golden Grid

Positioned within Byron Bay's tightly held Golden Grid, this beautifully renovated character residence blends timeless charm with contemporary coastal style. Originally dating from the early 1900s, the home has been thoughtfully reimagined, preserving its rich heritage while introducing a relaxed Byron aesthetic designed for modern living.

Set on one of Byron Bay's remaining large allotments, with rear lane access, within the Golden Grid, the property offers a rare sense of space in such a tightly held and highly sought-after location, with potential to subdivide, subject to council approval.

Bathed in natural light, the home offers four generous bedrooms and three beautifully appointed bathrooms, including a luxurious main bathroom with a freestanding bath. High ceilings, timber detailing and classic period features create warmth and character throughout, while the spacious living room is anchored by a cosy wood fireplace, providing an inviting place to gather year-round.

At the heart of the home, the light-filled kitchen flows effortlessly into the dining area before opening onto a north-facing hardwood entertaining deck. Complete with built-in seating and surrounded by established gardens, this private outdoor space is perfect for long lunches, family gatherings and relaxed evenings. A cleverly concealed laundry and additional shower are tucked behind a sliding barn door, adding both practicality and style.

Adding exceptional versatility is a beautifully presented, fully self-contained studio positioned at the rear of the property. With its own private entrance via Kingsley Lane, it provides an ideal space for guest accommodation, extended family, a home office or additional income potential (STCA).

Occupying a rare 1,042sqm parcel with valuable dual street frontage, the property offers exciting scope for future enhancement or redevelopment, subject to council approval. Opportunities of this scale and flexibility in Byron's Golden Grid are exceptionally rare.

Perfectly positioned just moments from Byron Bay's vibrant town centre, renowned beaches, local schools, sporting facilities and the iconic Top Shop, this is an outstanding lifestyle opportunity in one of the town's most sought-after locations.
