Chez Nous (Our House) was built in 1917 as a grand summer home by the Chisholm family, prominent graziers from Goulburn NSW. It was reputedly one of the first homes built in the area, perched on a north facing hill that offers sea breezes in summer and shelter in winter.
Over the last 95 years, it’s been home to only three families, and is now on offer for the first time in over two decades. This is your rare opportunity to own a unique piece of Collaroy history.
Offering an ideal lifestyle in a compelling location, this bright, private, and airy seaside home is an enduring haven. Stunning by day and breathtaking by night, the panoramic views of Collaroy Beach enjoyed from this period gem are guaranteed to impress.
Defined by its spacious timber interiors and commanding facade with deep verandahs, it retains many original details, and exudes all the classic charm and warmth typical of its original Federation character, sympathetically updated with modern fittings. Some cosmetic attention will easily restore this home to its original grandeur.
The spaciously appointed interiors; which have original polished hardwood floors throughout, and entertaining spaces all opening on to deep verandahs, include a spacious lounge room, complete with stone fireplace, beamed ceiling, and bay window. Opens into the formal dining room with French doors and generous kitchen with expansive 270° sweeping coastal views.
The main level of the house comprises 3 double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Master bedroom offers a sunroom, walk-in wardrobe and internal access to the master bathroom. Complete with spa bath, separate shower and double basins.
