Elevated Colonial Retreat With Spectacular Water Views

Boasting majestic architecture, this north-facing colonial homestead enjoys the cachet of its coveted Bays address. Set within expansive grounds with an in-ground pool and alfresco entertaining zones, the two-storey weatherboard residence captures spectacular upper-level views across the water to North Head, the Harbour Bridge, Bean Rock and the city skyline.

Sympathetically modernized while retaining its timeless character, the home showcases original native timber floors and wide wraparound homestead-style verandas. The ground floor offers a choice of formal and informal living spaces, including an open plan sitting room and adjoining dining area beside a contemporary white kitchen with quality appliances, generous benchtops and ample cabinetry. A separate sitting room with window seat features a period fireplace and distinctive Trubridge pendant lighting. Multiple access points create seamless flow to the verandas, extensive decking, patios and covered pergola complete with festoon lighting and a movable outdoor oven/fireplace for year-round entertaining.

Upstairs, a family lounge/media room opens to a large balcony, while the master suite includes a dressing room connecting to the ensuite. A stylish tiled bathroom services two further double bedrooms, while a ground floor guest bedroom is positioned beside the third family bathroom with hideaway laundry. The generously proportioned home also includes ducted air conditioning and extensive storage throughout.

Securely positioned behind electric gates on a fully fenced freehold eight hundred seventeen square meter (approx.) site, the property offers excellent off-street parking within picturesque gardens alive with birdlife amongst mature trees. Zoned for Churchill Park School and Glendowie College, and moments from popular parks and beaches, this often-admired coastal estate is being offered to the market for the first time in thirty-five years, an exceptional opportunity for families seeking space, character and lifestyle in one of the area’s most desirable settings.
