This classic 1970's coastal home is ready for new owners, offering a savvy location investment as well as an opportunity to modernise a retro gem with a beautiful layout and some charming original features.

Step into the entrance with its double-height ceiling and immediately you can see the potential: fans of retro style will love the white-washed exposed brick walls, soaring raked ceilings, and original amber glass windows. A front living room is a quiet spot to relax in the evenings, linked to the kitchen through feature wall openings, it provides both privacy and connection to the free-flowing living spaces.

The kitchen is spacious and situated neatly between a double-height dining area and a family room, which opens out to the backyard – so much space for parties, kids to play, alfresco meals. A huge concrete pool is a highlight, and it's easy to imagine the lazy weekends and twilight swims that will make summer a wonderful time in this home.

Bedrooms are across two levels, with a downstairs wing with two bedrooms and a shared bathroom/laundry ideal for teenagers and older children. Upstairs there is a main suite with ensuite and a large double bedroom of two linked rooms, plus a generous open-plan study area or home office.

An enclosed courtyard off the main garden has space for bikes, pool toys, or gardening equipment, and links to a carport and huge garage, convenient for keeping all your tools and sports equipment tucked away out of sight.

This is a home with free-flowing living areas and amazing gardens that celebrate the gorgeous coastal location, minutes from the City Beach precinct with its buzzing restaurants and surf club, and peaceful walk trails in Bold Park. Swift access to the city and an abundance of highly regarded local schools, plus shopping at Floreat Forum or the Empire Village on the Boulevard, and a morning swim at Bold Park Swimming Pool, make this a home that will enhance your working week as well as your days off.

It's easy to see how some modern additions would complement and express the home's original retro charm, making this a wonderfully individual home for the new owners.

Offering a substantial 1150 square metres of prime City Beach real estate with the bonus of a solidly built, well-designed unique home, this is an exciting opportunity being presented in this coveted sought-after coastal location.
