Form

Purchased as a deceased estate, this property underwent a significant cosmetic renovation over the course of 4 months. During this time the house was stripped internally and the floor plan was opened up to allow a new kitchen, new bathrooms and a studio apartment to be added to meet the strict requirements of the market in order to maximise potential value.

Function

Blessed with bright open living spaces plus a separate garden cabana or guest retreat, it opens to multiple decks and verandahs that reveal sweeping district views to the ocean.

Set on approximately 461sqm of child-safe lawns and landscaped gardens, its idyllic setting is a stroll to parks and buses, while shops, schools and beaches are only a short breath away.
