What a difference a year makes. Where a tired old house once stood, you’ll now find this lovely three-bedroom property brimming with character. Inspired by 1920s homes, the exterior features weatherboard and cedar-shingle cladding, bay windows and a verandah. It’s a classic, and a lovely addition to its beach neighbourhood. Inside, however, you’ll find 142sqm of modern open-plan living and dining, and excellent indoor-outdoor flow. Two decks, one of which has a louvred roof and outdoor fireplace, are perfect for alfresco entertaining. The contemporary kitchen, with character touches, features custom-built cabinetry and shelving, brass fittings and an island complete with bar fridge. Natural light pours into the main living area via two skylights and wide French doors, highlighting exposed rafters and offering plenty of natural warmth. White ceilings and walls are offset by solid oak floors throughout the home, except in the bedrooms where carpet keeps things cosy. The main bedroom provides a relaxing retreat with an ensuite, walk-in wardrobe and a large window seat. Craftsmanship has been lavished on this house and the result is a charm-filled, modern family home.
