Property Description

Nestled on a sun-drenched corner where the air always tastes of salt and summer, this darling 1950s cottage is the kind of home that gives you a warm hug the moment you arrive. It has been a cherished sanctuary for the past sixteen years, meticulously maintained and filled with nearly two decades of happy memories, a history of love that you can feel in every polished corner.

Inside, the home is a masterclass in coastal-chic meets vintage charm. The open-plan heart of the cottage is bathed in a soft, golden glow, where a contemporary palette meets the timeless soul of the fifties. At the center of this inviting space, a crackling wood burner stands ready to turn chilly coastal evenings into cozy retreats, its amber light dancing across the room. When the weekend rolls around, the wide doors swing open to a sprawling, sun-soaked deck, creating a seamless flow for afternoon BBQs or quiet morning coffees.

One of the home's most enchanting features is the versatile room tucked behind a set of internal doors. Whether you envision it as a sunlit home office, a formal dining room for candlelit dinners, or a whimsical third bedroom, it features its own set of doors that open directly onto that same beautiful main deck. It's a clever, connected layout that invites the outdoors in, ensuring the sea breeze wanders through every room. The two main bedrooms are true pockets of peace, both of which boast large windows that frame the simple, easy-care coastal landscape. Life here is as practical as it is pretty, with a well-appointed bathroom, a separate toilet, and a dedicated laundry room keeping the rhythms of daily life effortless and organized.

Outside, the property embraces a relaxed, barefoot lifestyle. The fully fenced yard is a private coastal playground where established trees provide a natural canopy for a charming swing set, the perfect spot for childhood adventures or for you to simply sit back and enjoy the stillness. It is a low-fuss outdoor space designed for living, letting you spend more time on the sunsoaked deck. For those with a vision, the property sits on two titles, providing a world of possibilities, from extending your coastal dream to exploring the potential of a second residence. Complete with a tandem garage for the beach toys, a large garden shed, and a cozy woodshed, this property is a rare find with a massive heart.

The location is the cherry on top. You are just a short, easy stroll from the beach for morning walks on the sand, and only a quick drive from the vibrant local shops, cafes, and essential amenities. For families, the educational path is perfectly laid out, with the property being in-zone for South New Brighton Primary, Shirley Boys', and Avonside Girls' High Schools. After sixteen beautiful years, the keys are ready for a new hand to hold. Come and fall in love with the ultimate, easy-going seaside lifestyle, your coastal chapter starts here.
