• Open-plan kitchen and living/dining that can be closed off from the lounge so you can entertain in one room while the kids can have fun in the other
• Spacious, recently repainted interior with varying views from each level and the warmth of polished floorboards, central radiator heating and a heat pump for year-round comfort
• Close to the beach but sheltered from the coastal elements in a quiet, leafy neighbourly street
• Exquisitely landscaped for beauty and bounty, journey up from the “green wall” with significant native plantings, to the vegetable garden, along pathways and garden beds with heritage perennials, landing on the gravelled terrace, with the fruit trees abundant with apples, plums and pears

The owners, a landscape architect and a horticulturalist, have lovingly developed this picturesque property to create a unique south coast haven just a short stroll from the beach and a bike ride from the city. If you want to enjoy the fruits of their labours.
