Sometimes exploring a place is a fun way to find out its history, and this imposing red brick bungalow has had a decorated history.

Built in 1925 this spacious home is filled with character features that will delight the most discerning of buyer.

The former convent was home to the Little Sisters of St Mary who were Calvary nuns, as was the adjoining property at No. 21 Marine Parade, Seacliff.

Originally built in 1925, the property was extended in 1930 where the priest resided and church services were held where the current elegant dining room is. Because of this extension the property has the unique potential to divide into 2 properties.

This fantastic home with a Mediterranean lifestyle set on 2 titles and nestled in complete privacy has been a residential property for the last 30 years.

The attraction is instant the minute you walk through the front door and can see the huge spacious rooms with character features and high ceilings. Currently disposed as an oversized living room, central country style kitchen, large elegant dining room and a library or 5th bedroom.

The central living areas provide great separation between the parents and the childrens/guest wings. The master bedroom has a glass door opening to the verandah so you can enjoy the sea breezes, and is adjacent to a bathroom and study or 4th bedroom.

To the northern side of the house are 2 double bedrooms, one with an open fireplace and both with double French doors opening to a glass enclosed sunroom ideal for study areas, TV room,gym, or studio overlooking the lovely lush green gardens with bi-fold caf doors opening to the large return verandah which in turn becomes great for parties.

This side of the home also boasts a brand new bathroom with framless glass shower alcove, vanity and a deep white freestanding bath and a separate W.C.

There is also the laundry and a 3rd separate W.C.

Other features of the home is the breezeway between the living room and the dining room (where the separation of the home could be done), a huge 10.1metre x 9 metre garage/workshop with remote roller door, a roof top lookout providing sensational sea and beach views and the most enchanting gardens surrounding the home that even the botanic gardens would envy.

Located in a quiet no through road and only one street from the beach this home would be ideal for a family, for the professionals who like to entertain with guests staying over or subject to Council Consents a B & B.

A once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase a beautiful property in the seaside suburb of Seacliff. This style of property is becoming increasingly rare to find.
