36 River St, New Brighton is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom House with 2 parking spaces and was built in 1920. The property has a land size of 749m2 and floor size of 168m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in September 2021.
This is a rare opportunity to purchase in the peaceful and tightly-held coastal village of New Brighton.
Originally a 1920s fisherman's cottage, the house was transformed by leading architect Paul Uhlmann into an elegant yet laidback oasis of calm. Surrounded by lush established tropical gardens, this elevated property showcases classic beachside design elements including white timber walls, high ceilings and tallowwood floors.
A modern open plan kitchen and living room leads out through glass bi-fold doors to a large deck, allowing for true indoor/outdoor living. This east-facing deck is where you will want to spend all your time, listening to the waves crashing and basking in the sunlight streaming in. Cedar shutters complement the Balinese style and enable full enclosure for privacy and protection from the weather. Another smaller deck surrounded by tropical plants comes off the kitchen and is connected by a large window.
Three generous sized bedrooms are matched by two large and unique bathrooms featuring exquisite mosaic tilework and louvered windows. A superb freestanding bath perfects the idyllic nature of this home. One of the three bedrooms lends itself well for a home office or study, allowing for functional use of the floorplan.
Two street frontages enable front and rear access to the property, meaning the pristine New Brighton beach is right on your doorstep. Imagine starting every day with a walk along the white sand beach or a refreshing dip in the ocean. A private heated outdoor shower is connected to the house, so you can wash off before returning inside.
A few doors down you'll find the general store, post office and caf. The popular New Brighton Farmer's Markets is held every Tuesday, where you can do your weekly shop of locally grown food, all while listening to live music and chatting with your friendly neighbours. You also have easy access to the popular suburbs of Brunswick Heads, South Golden Beach and iconic Byron Bay.
