Once the Harbourmaster’s residence, this remarkable home still holds all the grace and craftsmanship of its heritage, with striking updates for modern living. Combined with exquisite views over Careys Bay, the harbour, fishing boats and the port, and the rural hills of the Peninsula, this really is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Beautifully maintained original wood detailing sets the tone throughout, with three generous double bedrooms branching off the central hallway. Each offers excellent built-in storage; one includes a sunny study nook or office space, another features a stunning stained-glass window, and the third is impressively spacious.
The large, contemporary bathroom cleverly combines laundry facilities, while the sleek, modern kitchen impresses with exceptional storage, high quality appliances, and a seamless flow into the generous dining space. A striking double-sided fireplace connects this area to the first of two inviting living spaces. Beyond, the second living room features floor-to-ceiling windows capturing breathtaking views across Careys Bay and the harbour beyond. Both spaces open out to a wraparound deck, the perfect place to soak in the scenery, sun and scents of a luxurious garden.
The grounds are just as special as the home and views. Thoughtfully landscaped and terraced, with established plantings, they offer a series of private spots to relax and explore. There are sunny, elevated vegetable beds, shaded garden paths that meander through the property to hidden surprises, including a flat lawn for play, and a bridge over a small creek. Multiple outdoor areas provide sheltered spots for quietly enjoying the serenity, while well-positioned gates around the garden ensure there are various safe spaces for children and pets alike to roam.
Completing the picture are excellent outdoor storage solutions, and a single garage attached to a separate 1-bedroom flat with a versatile rumpus room above that boasts gabled ceilings and those same stunning harbour views. With extra off-street parking for guests, family, or the boat, this historic gem perfectly blends character, comfort, and lifestyle in one extraordinary, tranquil setting.
