On the market for the first time in 3 decades, this tuck-pointed double-brick Edwardian (c. 1893) exudes plenty of the character and historical appeal one would expect as the former site of the WW2 US Naval Officers' Club.

On the market for the first time in 3 decades, this tuck-pointed double-brick Edwardian (c. 1893) exudes plenty of the character and historical appeal one would expect as the former site of the WW2 US Naval Officers' Club.
Yet step past the privacy of a high front fence, an unassumingly quaint period facade and flourishing front garden to discover a substantial 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom home offering both original detail charm (colourful leadlighting & intricate cornices) and a wonderful sense of family flexibility for comfortable multi-generational enjoyment.
Complemented by a kitchen featuring stainless-steel Ilve appliances, granite benchtops and dual dishwashers, the central living zones are beautifully proportioned, with the lounge (gas fireplace) adjoining a secluded study nook.
Bi-fold doors retract for seamless connection between the large dining area and the outdoor oasis of a solar-heated in-ground pool and a timber-decked alfresco entertaining space complete with built-in BBQ & electric awning.
All five bedrooms have built-in robes, two on the entry level with adjoining ensuites (master with an entire wall of storage), with a versatile upstairs rumpus/home office/living area stepping out to a full-width balcony overlooking the poolside setting.
A clever addition in recent years, a fully self-contained and luxuriously appointed studio-style apartment suiting guests, relatives or seclusion-seeking teenagers enjoys a north-facing sun-kissed terrace and its own private entrance, adding options galore to your accommodation potential.
Close to the beach, Bay St, schools, transport and the city, this cherished bayside rarity includes a remote-control double garage, central heating/cooling downstairs, reverse-cycle heating/cooling upstairs, attic storage and 10000L water storage tank.
