High on the hill at the rear of the property there is a charming cottage which has lovely ocean views and takes advantage of the winter sun with an expansive timber deck at the front of the home. This is the perfect place for a summer BBQ, an evening drink watching the sun set, or simply relaxing with a book after a busy morning on the beach.
As you step through the front sliding door you will notice that the home itself is full of character, with Jarrah flooring, high ceilings, a pressed tin feature wall and a hint of limestone as well. A central living area provides plenty of space for both a dining and lounge area. The living area has both a ceiling fan and a reverse cycle air conditioner. A sliding door leads to a private rear deck, where you can escape from the rest of the household.
At the front of the home there are two bedrooms either side of the living area, both with two large windows & white venetian blinds. The rooms are light and bright and have that fun coastal feel about them, the perfect place to recharge after a fun filled day at the beach.

Overhead cupboards, a built in pantry, and plenty of cupboards/drawers provides lots of storage options. There is an underbench electric oven and electric hotplate.

The bathroom also has a fully screened shower, basin and wall mounted mirror storage cupboard. The laundry has a trough, linen press and separate toilet.
A Jarrah staircase leads to the second level of the home, where you will find the master bedroom that has 180 degree ocean views. Two large windows flood the room with natural light and the unique domed ceiling adds to the sense of space. There is plenty of room to accommodate a queen sized bed as well as space for occasional furniture. A built in wardrobe is concealed behind the bed. The ensuite has a fully screened shower, pedestal basin and toilet, in the same colour scheme as the downstairs bathroom. A cute balcony completes the master suite where you will be happy to retreat, reflect & rejuvenate.
In front of the main house you will find a double lockup shed which could be used as a garage as well as an additional car bay next to the house.

There is a large open planned living area with timber look floors, timber venetian blinds, reverse cycle air conditioning and a ceiling fan. Two sets of sliding doors lead to a screened outdoor area on the north side of the flat where you can bask in the winter sunshine. The kitchen has an underbench oven, double sink and plenty of storage. A mobile island bench gives you extra flexibility to use this space for kitchen, dining and living. A good sized bedroom has a double built in robe and a combined bathroom/laundry is ensuited off the bedroom. This addition is surprisingly roomy and provides a light & bright retreat, with plenty of privacy from the rear house.
