Don’t miss the opportunity to own Yamba’s most exclusive heritage beach home Allawah Cottage. This executive appointed residence with its traditional beach house design is located south of Yamba’s iconic 150 year old lighthouse. Over looking secluded Convent Beach and Lovers Point and Pippi Beach, each level has expansive views of the Pacific Ocean.
It may have been easier to just knock down the original weatherboard home and start afresh but this clever renovation has resulted in a fantastic four bedroom home accommodation for all families alike.
The home consists of two dwellings connected by an entry deck and foyer, the result of this offers both indoor and outdoor living spaces with a natural sense of flow between them.
The kitchen was relocated from the original home into the newer section with the cottage now encompassing three bedrooms, a living area and bathroom facilities (including direct external access). The newer part of the house has a large kitchen downstairs, with beautiful granite bench tops a stand out feature.
The nearby dining room is complemented by white walls and dark timber flooring of grey ironbark and features bi-fold doors leading to a private balcony added during the 2011 renovations.
Upstairs the master bedroom with ensuite enjoys ocean views and a parents’ retreat offers a private sanctuary.
The temperature fluctuation is minor in between the seasons and the current owners are very pleased with the solar hot water system and rainwater storage. Interestingly, the row of steel ribbed tanks also offers a tranquil haven hidden from the neighbours and is a visual feature as well.
Casual and stylish with a design based environmental backdrop and the extensive use of quality timber are the key elements of Allawah that attracted the attention of NSW premier lifestyle magazine North Coast Living to feature this classic four bedroom beach home in a recent summer edition.
Old-world charm furnishings comfortably hold their own alongside contemporary and multimedia appliances creating an unobtrusive ambience throughout the beach house. This same ambience is amplified for families who need or want separate areas of indulgence at arm’s length from their kids.
From Allawah it is a two minute walk to the beach. The north side of Lovers Point at Convent Beach is protected where you can stroll, swim, snorkel or investigate the rock pools. The south side of Lovers Point is an open beach where you can pick any spot for a surf.
Lovers Point is an ideal place to watch migratory whales (May to September) and resident dolphins at play.
