Located just two doors from the Esplanade, in one of the area’s premier streets, this beautifully understated double return veranda Villa offers a surprising combination of rare features that when combined with its enviable location make it an irresistible lifestyle package.

Constructed primarily in red brick, the property’s tessellated tiled veranda has clear beach views. Built in the early 1900s, this four bedroom villa has two excellent and distinct living areas, galley style kitchen, open plan dining, family bathroom, two toilets and side access to the double garage and additional off street parking.

Rarely seen in such abundance or maintained to such a high standard, the pristine pressed iron ceilings found throughout almost the entire home are a sight to behold and provide this property with the most impressive hallmark of its architectural identity. When seen in combination with the other period features of the property including leadlight windows, high skirting boards, – etc., the presentation and preservation is sure to impress. Even so this property should not be viewed as a museum for the floor plan is more versatile than that.
Painted in neutral tones throughout and almost entirely floored in polished Baltic pine boards, its particularly large rooms will easily accommodate modern or period art or furniture. Even the welcoming hallway with its fretwork arch and generous dimensions acts as a gallery. Windows are typically large and encourage excellent natural light penetration.

The kitchen includes stainless steel bench tops and a commercial/professional class double oven (for the aspiring master chefs). A servery connects the kitchen with the dining or living room (as you prefer to arrange it) and wine can be stored in abundance in an excellent dry cellar located beneath the kitchen.

Recent improvements include new gas heating and a completely refurbished bathroom including claw bath. The house is cool in summer and cosy in the winter. Looking northwards out over the rear garden from the family living area, there is little maintenance beyond tending the productive herb garden and harvesting fruit from the large variety of established trees. The allotment is generous without being unmanageable. You can entertain under the shade of the gardens trees and always with the unmistakable sounds of the beach and the smell of a refreshing salty breeze in the air.

The coastal strip has been and will continue to be tightly held. Quality properties such as this with line of sight views of the beach are precious few in number and rare to become available. Register your name today to be informed of the earliest opportunity to view this wonderful home.
