Living Stylishly by the Sea

A delightful 1920's property, brimming with charm, forms the canvas for a chic renovation, creating a home that blends character with contemporary comforts. Situated in a location which is enjoying a resurgence in popularity with those keen to take advantage of a superb lifestyle, it is just two minutes' drive to the beach, one minute to QEII Park (where a brand-new recreation centre and the newly relocated Shirley Boys' High and Avonside Girls' High are currently being built) and seven minutes to The Palms.

Nestled in easy-care gardens at home in the coastal setting, the home is beautifully oriented for the sun. A stunning chef's kitchen is the centrepiece of the open-plan living and dining area: superbly appointed with a free-standing oven and a butler's sink with pull-out mixer, every care has been lavished here. Two additional living rooms are connected by French doors and open to private north-facing decking. An ultra-low emission burner provides incredibly efficient and clean heating - even running its own built-in fan and USB port without electricity - while two heat-pumps ensure year-round comfort. The generous master bedroom has its own full en suite, while three more bedrooms plus office share a family bathroom. Outside, the fully fenced grounds include a separate garage plus off-street parking, secure behind electric gates.

Offering superb flexibility and a choice of inviting spaces for living and entertaining, this very special property blends character with contemporary style. The owner is leaving town and must sell her much-loved home, so this is your chance. Contact the agents today to view. Property ID: #PI52868
