On a corner site, a stone’s throw from the beach, river and parks is our best kept beachside secret – and this beautifully renovated, charming, nautical style wood home makes it even more appealing. It is now a private residence, but in the past and perhaps again in the future, it easily becomes a luxury holiday bed and breakfast accommodation. This special property has great natural light all year round and its feel is distinctly beach casual, unpretentious luxury and comfortable relaxation.

This spotless property’s ground level has open plan living, dining and kitchen areas. Features are a serious cook’s kitchen, with its Italian semi-industrial EKA gas stove, full commercial oven vent and electric oven, spacious walk in pantry and equally spacious preparation site.

This level also has an office, a bedroom and there are cleverly placed day beds should extra guests arrive. The flooring is of quality irreplaceable Italian tiles. Two full bathrooms (one with a double shower and wheel chair access) and an extra large laundry and utility room complete this section of the house.

Leading from the kitchen through double doors is an excellent dining and entertainment courtyard (partly under cover) and beautifully landscaped, lawned gardens with mature decorative shrubs and trees.

Upstairs is reached via outdoor stairs or the interior stairway and consists of two king size, fully carpeted, bedrooms with built in wardrobes leading to a generous tiled east facing balcony – a delightful place to enjoy brunch or sip a fizzy drink in the evening looking out to the estuary and ocean. There is a full bathroom on this level with a separate toilet.

Other features of 17 Ford Street are that it is fully insulated, all east facing doors and windows from the balcony are made of reflective glass and there are ceiling fans throughout. There is garaging for three vehicles, under cover parking for a boat and plenty of extra storage space of beach “toys”. The two water tanks are cleverly hidden at the side of the house and the property is solar powered.

Other pluses are that there is a DA to add further bedrooms, the population of Red Rock is about 200, it is 30 minutes drive to Coffs Harbour and its facilities and the local general store makes, arguably, the best hamburger on the coast!
