THE DEALA character weatherboard reinvented for modern living, Ivy Cottage is where enduring charm meets understated luxury. Behind a classic gabled facade and white picket fence, the residence delivers an effortless balance of heritage appeal and contemporary refinement, while fostering a rare sense of privacy and tranquillity seldom found so close to the coast. Step through the landscaped gardens and onto stretches of hardwood decking, where every detail is executed for both function and flow. Sunlight pours into generous, open-plan living spaces, where timber floors run beneath a palette of soft neutrals, drawing your gaze to expansive sliding doors that dissolve the boundary between indoors and out. Pendant lighting hovers over a statement kitchen island - finished with stone benchtops, Italian splashback tiles, a freestanding Smeg oven, stainless-steel gas range, and range hood. The kitchen is a natural anchor for daily ritual or evening conversation, with breakfast bar seating that invites connection. Each bedroom is thoughtfully zoned for comfort, with plush carpeting underfoot, built-in wardrobes and delicate wall panelling detail. A dedicated home office with a window makes remote work effortless, while decorative wainscoting and VJ panelling reveal layers of considered style throughout. The master suite features an ensuite with double vanities and round mirrors, paired with French lay floor tiles and ABI tapware that elevate everyday living. The main bathroom continues the designer narrative, offering both bathtub and shower, stylish wood vanity, and adjacent laundry with garden access. Alfresco living is at the very heart of Ivy Cottage. Entertain beneath a vaulted timber ceiling, cooled by ceiling fans, with zones for lounge and dining that spill onto lush lawns bordered by established gardens and a signature ponytail palm. Ducted air-conditioning, newly upgraded plumbing, exposed aggregate driveway, and under-house storage add to the ease, while automated reticulation promises year-round greenery. Sunset and treetop vistas are best enjoyed from a shaded outdoor deck - your private perch above the peaceful backyard. Defined by its original jarrah flooring (acid washed to perfection) and James Hardie weatherboards, this is a home designed for both slow summer mornings and easy evenings with friends. Family functionality abounds with multiple entry points, dedicated laundry, second alfresco deck, and secure, fully fenced grounds with driveway, all framed by a canopy of young, established trees. SEALS THE DEALClassic coastal character, reimagined with a crisp contemporary edge. Move-in ready, beautifully resolved, and balancing space, light, and luxurious liveability. Ivy Cottage is a Scarborough sanctuary.
