Few homes enjoy such an intimate relationship with the bay. Through a magnificent canopy of established trees, the water appears in shifting shades of blue from both levels, while sweeping architectural curves and unexpected spaces give this residence a personality entirely its own. A graceful arc of glazing embraces the fireside living and dining room, bringing that view into beautiful focus. Beyond the glass, a terracotta-paved terrace offers a secluded setting for al fresco relaxation amid lush greenery and dappled shade. The adjoining kitchen features stone benchtops, Bosch appliances and a breakfast bar, while two bedrooms with built-in robes occupy the quieter reaches of this level, accompanied by a family bathroom. A timber staircase and lift connect the two floors. The rear garden reveals an altogether different expression of the home’s character. Nestled among lush greenery, a wonderfully eclectic, self-contained studio incorporates its own multi-purpose area, living area, kitchenette and bathroom. With independent access from Edward Street, this charming retreat offers a world of possibilities. Upstairs, northern sunshine fills the main bedroom, while an adjoining sitting room with fitted desk can be closed off for work or relaxation, its windows framing the outlook. A separate timber-lined spa bathroom adds a nostalgic flourish, its amber-toned bath and basin lending a playful touch. The outlook becomes all the more spectacular outdoors. An expansive covered deck accommodates dining and entertaining, while an adjoining open-air terrace edged by a curved glass balustrade brings the bay even closer. Come evening, the terraces are transformed as the setting sun washes the sky in glorious colour. Additional features include air conditioning to the living areas on both levels, separate laundry and WC, a garden shed and off-street parking via Edward Street. Edward Street Beach is virtually on the doorstep, with Half Moon Bay an easy stroll away. Sandringham Village brings cafes, restaurants, daily essentials and the station within easy walking distance.
