Step back in time and embrace the character, space and spectacular setting of this substantial 1970s brick and block home, perfectly positioned to capture magnificent views across the estuary towards the Sandspit and out to the ocean.

From the moment you enter, the home makes an impression, with a wide, inviting staircase creating a wonderful sense of arrival. Upstairs, the spacious open-plan lounge and dining area take full advantage of the outlook, with the water views providing a stunning backdrop to everyday living.

The galley-style kitchen opens directly onto the expansive wraparound deck, creating an effortless connection between the kitchen, living spaces and outdoors. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee, entertaining friends or simply soaking up the ever-changing estuary vista, this is a home designed to make the most of its position.

There are four bedrooms in total, with two located upstairs, including the master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe. Downstairs adds exceptional versatility, featuring a double garage and a self-contained flatette with its own separate side entrance. Complete with two good-sized bedrooms, a bathroom and kitchenette (without a stove or oven), this lower level offers fantastic options for extended family, guests, teenagers, hobbies or additional accommodation.

Outside, the rear of the property provides a wonderful private haven, with a generous lawn area perfect for children and pets, while a shaded pergola sets the scene for relaxed evening drinks and summer gatherings. Mature gardens and established fruit trees add to the appeal and give the property a settled, homely feel.

Yes, this home is unapologetically retro - and that's part of its charm. Solid, spacious and full of possibilities, it offers an opportunity to embrace its original character, make your own updates over time, or simply enjoy the generous spaces and unbeatable outlook exactly as they are.

With its spectacular estuary-to-ocean views, substantial proportions, versatile lower level and enviable setting, this is a property with plenty to offer - and plenty of potential.

Offered to the market by an out-of-town owner who is motivated to achieve a sale, this presents a genuine opportunity for buyers looking for a substantial home in a sought-after location.

Come and experience the views, the space and the retro charm for yourself.
