Nestled within the charming coastal village of New Brighton is this original beachside cottage.
Tightly held for decades it’s a peaceful lifestyle where the beach and river are playgrounds for both young and old alike.
The irreplaceable dynamic is an outstanding location; amongst the very best in New Brighton.
This large old fashioned ¼ acre (1012m2) block is opposite and overlooking the sports fields and weekly Farmers Market and only a moments’ walk to the New Brighton General Store and Café.
The rear lane provides beach access in 2 directions for just a few properties in this immediate Park Street precinct.
So, don the bathers and throw a towel over your shoulder; the sun, sand and surf await.
Originally established in the 1950’s when most New Brighton dwellings were fisherman shacks and modest weekenders this authentic home features many charming attributes from a wonderful bygone era. There are character internal features including polished timber floors, raked ceilings, stained glass windows and VJ wall lining.
Within a tasteful appointment, more contemporary additions include tiled flooring, plantation shutters, ceiling fans and a 6kv Solar system.
The external is combination of hardwood chamferboard and rough sawn weatherboard cladding.
A galley configured kitchen and breakfast bar features Caesarstone benchtops, quality stainless gas cooker and dishwasher.
The bathroom includes rain head style shower and claw foot bath; there is a separate toilet.
If there’s a focal point it is most certainly the extensive private outdoor undercover living. With a pleasant aspect to the East and beautifully appointed, it is the prime place to chill out, enjoy alfresco dining or an ideal entertaining area.
To consolidate the layout, there is the master and 2nd bedroom, lounge/kitchen, a sunny dining room, dedicated laundry, bathroom and the outdoor undercover space.
Bedroom 3 is a fully detached rear garden studio.
With single lock up garage plus single carport and separate workshop there is ample space to secure surfboards, fishing rods and the kayak for a paddle in the river.
There is an outdoor shower and a 5000lt. water tank for garden irrigation.
Well established gardens and lawns are fully fenced at the rear and include mature shade trees, vegetable/herb gardens and the rear lane access for car, boat, van or that unique access through to a pristine surf beach.
For those seeking vibrancy, the tourist meccas of Brunswick Heads and Byron Bay are an easy drive to the South, whilst Coolangatta International Airport and the gateway to the Gold Coast is some 30 minutes to the North.
This is a special place, a retreat to feel healthy and relax within the simple pleasures of a genuine North Coast village atmosphere.
Combining all the natural attributes it could also be the perfect site to redevelop and recreate your own customised building concepts.
Either way this slice of the ‘Heart of New Brighton’ is a unique opportunity; one that may well be your family home for generations to come.
