Fairhaven is notable for a number of reasons, but its wide, expansive surf beach must surely be number one on the list. Generally the closer you are to the sand, the greater the real estate value.

Cowan Avenue is one of the most tightly held addresses in Fairhaven, as the quiet cul de sac only comprises a very small number of houses which rarely change hands.

With the addition of the underpass, Cowan Avenue occupants enjoy access to the beach and the Fairhaven SLSC in literally a couple of minutes, making it the perfect location for beach lovers and families.

Providing generous accommodation across multiple levels, this recently renovated home comprises four double bedrooms (all with hydronic-type heating) a light filled open living area and floor to ceiling glass windows and doors to enjoy the ocean view. It also has a built in wood heater for those chilly nights and a Daikin spilt system. It features two modern, well appointed bathrooms with Everhot temperature controlled hot water services. Further it has a generous games room for family activities, also with hydronic-type heating and a built in wood heater.

The modern kitchen is equipped with caesar stone benchtops, top quality stainless steel appliances and a Bosch dishwasher.

A large wrap around, north facing deck area allows one to gaze at the ocean views and enjoy the northern sun, whilst also providing a large dining and BBQ area.

The property includes a lock-up garage (with remote) and storage to house all the beach toys.

One of the features that makes this superb offering different from other properties in the area is the existence of an irreplaceable, separate self-contained bungalow.

Previously a large bunk room which housed many surf club enthusiasts from the 1960s through until the 1980s, it is now a renovated self-contained one and a half bedroom flat which sleeps 6, has a separate renovated bathroom and is ideal for extra guests, extra family or extra income as a B&B. It contains its own kitchen with modern appliances, washing machine and has hydronic type heating and a Daikin spilt system.

With added features including arguably the best wine cellar in the area, multiple outdoor areas, hot and cold outdoor shower and a 27,000 litre water tank which services the well-established garden.

All set on a generous allotment of around 874sqm this functional property presents as the perfect beach escape for one or even two families to enjoy for generations.
