There’s ample room for entertaining indoors or out on both levels and wall-to-wall wardrobing provides massive storage within.

The set-up is perfect for extended family or as an easy income earner. Who wouldn’t want to live here?

New solid oak treads on the glazed stairway rise to sunny north-west-facing open-plan living laid with pale timber floors. A large stylish, brand-new kitchen extends to a spacious deck inviting afternoon cocktails watching the sun go down across the water. Look forward to lounging in the luxuriously large master bedroom and enjoying the sea view with a cool summer breeze through the door from the deck.

Proof that the 60's got some things 100% right, this is an absolute exemplar of living done well.

Just move in and enjoy this exquisite gem of retro in the metro.
