Linger over a latte, take an early morning jog along the sand or enjoy an afternoon in the surf – lifestyle and location certainly go hand in hand at this Sawtell address. From the front door of this Boronia Street home it is an easy, level stroll to the beach and to the cafes, restaurants and galleries of First Avenue. Once a successful boutique B&B, this large residence offers a level of flexibility and space not often found in the average family home. Not only will it suit a variety of furnishing tastes and decors, it will easily accommodate different lifestyles and could be a source of potential income for the astute buyer. The flexible floor plan and excellent location (backing on to Middle creek and the picturesque Sawtell Golf Course) are not the only features sure to impress. The architectural details including detailed cornices and skirting boards, multiple sets of French doors, vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, circular feature windows and wall panelling give this property a stylish and distinctive personality. At the front of the large 1352m2 block is a double garage with an American-style studio apartment above. Separate from the main residence and accessed by an external staircase, this studio is ideal for guests, working from home or a holiday rental. Follow the garden path to the secluded front terrace and in-ground swimming pool. Two sets of French doors lead from the garden to the lower level of the residence. Currently furnished as separate living quarters, this level has open-style living, a kitchenette and a bathroom. With a closed connecting door to the rest of the house, this level has the flexibility to be used as separate accommodation for in-laws or older children or open up the door and enjoy the ultimate poolside entertaining/rumpus area. The spacious main living level features honey-coloured timber floors and picture windows framing the garden. This is a big open space but changes in ceiling height provide ambiance and easy solutions for furniture placement. A recently renovated kitchen is part of the main living level and French doors leading to the full-length rear deck overlooking the garden and golf course ensure al fresco dining will be on the menu. A few steps up from the main living area is the private bedroom wing that includes three bedrooms (all with built-in wardrobes and an ensuite in the master) with eight more steps leading to a mezzanine floor of two rooms and French doors to the viewing balcony over the main living area. This carpeted mezzanine floor consists of a large room, ideal as a library/winter living room or as a billiards/media room, and a bedroom/study with built-ins. These two rooms further highlight the flexibility of this floor plan. Other features of this property include air conditioning, a slow combustion wood heater in the main living area, bay windows and a double garage.
