The Singer House is an iconic Charles Street home located on the South East corner of razorback hill overlooking the Boyd’s Bay Bridge which connects Tweed Heads North to South. With exclusive privacy this home features 180 degree uninterrupted water views from Cook Island and the Trawlers in the East to Mt Warning and the Hinterland in the West.
Split over four levels and descending from the corner of Charles Street the house underwent major renovations in 2012.
At street level a modern two car garage and pedestrian access descends to glorious views of Cook Island, Fingal, Boyd’s Bay and the Terranora Creek. Stone walled courtyards and established gardens create a setting of private seclusion for the upper three levels of this enclave. The guest room is located on level 1- and would suit perfectly as a home office or teenagers retreat. Descend down further to level 2 and beautiful French Doors open to polished brushbox and mixed hardwood floors with wide water views. The open plan lounge looks out towards the large deck with 6m cedar bifolds and 2m servery bifolds – bringing the outside in and perfectly framing the magnificent 180 degree views. Two sets of French Doors in the lounge seamlessly integrate to the front courtyard opening up the entire space to be accessed from courtyard to lounge/kitchen to deck with ease. This wonderful space defines open plan living. Below on the third level and accessed via a separate path entry from the roadway is a studio apartment with it’s own viewing aspect, deck and garden setting. The property has been previously utilised in a mix of permanent and holiday letting.
