AI summary
A beloved Breaker Bay home is on the market for the first time in nearly 80 years. The property has been held by the Young family since 1945, with a rich history beginning with the family living in a tent on the land.
The five-bedroom house was later updated in 2005 with a second storey designed by architect Barbara Webster, enhancing the stunning sea views while preserving its original character. It's a unique opportunity to own a home with deep community roots.
