So much more than a large solid Home in a Superb Position!
This huge double brick home, from its commanding and elevated position on five titles overlooking the famous Bicheno Blowhole, the Ocean and the Foreshore, offers the astute Investor or the smart Big City Seachanger many exciting opportunities.
The upper storey (with level access from the rear parking area) offers a very large lounge with massive stone open fireplace, a large family room with efficient wood combustion stove and a country kitchen. These all feature lofty local Oyster Bay pine cathedral ceilings and open up to a huge front balcony and a sunny rear deck. There are also two large bedrooms (master with walk-in, second with built-ins), a bathroom with walled private courtyard, a shower room, a large laundry with copious storage and bench space and a separate toilet.
A large entry hall and wide stairwell on the lower level opens to a sheltered and shady tiled verandah that is perfect for summer entertaining and is surrounded by pleasant gardens affording great privacy. There are three more large bedrooms (two with built-ins), another bathroom, a huge garage/workshop (all with splendid ocean views) and an cavernous cellar offering oodles of storage including individual racking for over 1200 bottles of wine.
The property has three-phase power connected and a central vacuum system.
A fully enclosed vegetable garden, a brick chook-pen or dog-kennel and a fine brick pizza-oven are located in the rear yard. The property has dual street access (from the Esplanade and Little Street) with fully sealed driveways and parking areas.
The five separate titles (Lots 8/9/10/11/12) average over 900m2 each (well may you feel some sympathy for those rubbing shoulders with neighbours after being squeezed onto modern 500m2 or smaller allotments) and the total landholding (PID 5284196) contains a truly generous 4633m2.
The two vacant Esplanade foreshore titles alone in this location present incredible value and immediate potential galore if so required.
This unique property combines the advantages of civilized town living – like the convenience of a short walk to the shops, town water, sewerage and broadband – with the pleasures of an oceanfront rural retreat : space, privacy, a leafy green environment and 180 degree ocean views.
Of course there are many cheaper properties for sale in Oz, one hears whispers of studio apartments in Sydney for $800K and of some slummy one bedroom units in Melbourne for a little less than that but closely compare those city offerings with this property and the lifestyle in coastal Bicheno and your choice should not be difficult.
Those that realize that the value of all the separate parts as offered combined here is far greater than the asking price for the total package would wish to arrange the personal inspection that is highly recommended and warmly welcomed indeed.
