A MID-CENTURY AUSTRALIAN BEACH-HOUSE SPIRIT, BETWEEN BUSH RESERVES AND THE BAY

A distinctly mid-century material language runs through the home, with warm timber, earthy colours and strong architectural lines giving the interiors a sense of depth and permanence. Verandahs, garden outlooks and the rear garden room soften that structure, keeping daily life closely connected to the outdoors.

The four-bedroom, two-bathroom layout carries the easy spirit of a 1970s Australian beach house, moving from kitchen and dining through relaxed living spaces to a rear garden room, verandah and established garden.

On a 572m² survey-strata lot, nearby reserves, school, town and a 500m walk to Geographe Bay shape an easy Dunsborough rhythm.

A Home Shaped by Material, Colour and Garden

The design story is felt rather than announced. Recycled 1970s parquetry brings warmth and rhythm through the kitchen and dining area, while deep olive cabinetry, long black handles and the ash-topped central island introduce a confident earthy palette. The perimeter kitchen bench is Carrara marble, paired with a white kit-kat textured splash-back and black Omega induction cooking and oven.

The main living area shifts to soft grey tiling, where a feature French Invicta wood fire is positioned on a floating concrete hearth. Rather than reading as one oversized open room, the living spaces unfold in sequence — kitchen, dining and lounge remain connected, yet each retains its own character.

Garden Connection Built Into Daily Living

At the rear, a step down leads to the garden room: a quieter, flexible space framed by black glazing and leafy outlooks. It can work as a study, reading room or second living area and opens directly to the rear verandah, allowing the garden to become part of the interior experience.

The verandah continues along the rear of the home and connects with the main bedroom, creating an easy relationship between private accommodation and the outdoors. Stone and brick pathways move through lawn, mature shade trees, flowering plants and sculptural succulents, while the separate rear shed adds useful workshop, studio or storage potential.

Bedrooms and Private Rear Main Suite

The main bedroom is positioned privately at the rear, opening to the verandah and garden, with an adjoining ensuite finished in timber cabinetry, vertically textured tiling, a timber-lined ceiling and walk-in shower.

Three additional bedrooms complete the accommodation. Dark green 100% New Zealand wool carpet is used through two of the home’s four bedrooms, bringing an unexpected depth of colour and softness underfoot, complete with built in wardrobes for storage.

The main bathroom continues the material story with terrazzo look flooring, a freestanding bath, walk-in glass shower and floating timber vanity. The laundry is notably calm and practical, with integrated white cabinetry and a glazed external door to the side garden.

Location That Changes the Rhythm of the Day

This is a location that reduces the need to plan around the car. Geographe Bay is a 500m walk away, Dunsborough Primary School is 700m away and the town centre is 1.7km from home — approximately five minutes by bike. Dunsborough & Districts Country Club is 450m away, the boat ramp 800m, and the Meelup trails 1.3km away.

For families, nearby reserves, creek beds and bushland add another layer of freedom: bikes can become part of the school run, afternoons can move between reserve and beach, and weekends can begin from the front door. Meelup Beach is 5km away, Eagle Bay Beach 7.5km and Busselton Margaret River Airport approximately 34.7km away.
