Description
Abba's "Dancing Queen" might be playing in your head as you enter this 1970s classic – a split-level home full of personality, potential, and panoramic sea views. This generously proportioned home captures the spirit of the era: minimal room divisions, sun-soaked interiors, and an easy, flowing layout ideal for entertaining. The expansive living, dining, and kitchen areas blend seamlessly together – perfect for hosting guests or enjoying relaxed family life.
- Take in the Views: From the kitchen, dining room, and back deck, enjoy calming, elevated sea views over beautiful Bream Bay. Whether you're cooking dinner or sipping your morning coffee, the scenery is always part of the experience.
- Retro Charm Meets Opportunity: The home's original palette of earth tones – think browns, oranges, mustards, and greens – may be a quiet nod to the 1970s' emerging environmental awareness. Now it's your turn to decide: preserve the vintage style or modernize with your own flair?
- A Grand Entrance: Step through the front door into a spacious foyer where a striking open-tread wooden staircase leads to the main living areas. Downstairs, you'll find a flexible rumpus room with its own bathroom – perfect as a teenage retreat, home office, studio, or business space. The double garage is vast, offering space for cars, a workshop, or a dream man cave.
- Upstairs Oasis: The upper level boasts bright and breezy living and dining areas with sweeping views of the ocean and offshore islands. The home's three bedrooms and two bathrooms are thoughtfully placed – the master suite sits on the right wing of the home, while the other two bedrooms are located on the left, offering privacy and space for both family and guests. A separate laundry completes the layout.
- Solid Gold Potential: At approximately 300m², this substantial home is packed with possibility – whether you're looking to restore it to its former showy glory or reimagine it for the future. A standout opportunity for buyers with vision, creativity, and a love for character homes in a stunning coastal setting.
