A Beachfront Lifestyle with Private, Sheltered Al Fesco livingAdvertisement
With summer on the horizon, could there be a better time to buy one of Seatoun’s most tightly-held beachfront homes on a big section with flat lawn and garaging for two cars?
The exceptional property, at 81 Marine Pde, is for sale for the first time since 2006, having previously changed hands in 1984.
The 181-square metre villa dates to 1905, was architecturally renovated by Fritz Eisenhofer in the 1980s and has been refurbished for modern indoor-outdoor living on a 712sqm section with expansive lawn front and back.
The grounds have been superbly landscaped to capitalise on a site that’s all useable and offers one of the largest flat lawns on Seatoun’s waterfront.
As a result, the property showcases the best of both worlds: a beachfront lifestyle at the front, which is just across the road from the water’s edge, and private, sheltered al fresco living at the rear.
The exquisite backyard combines lawn and garden with decking, an outdoor fireplace and spa pool. There’s even the bonus of a substantial garden shed that makes the setting as practical as it is picturesque.
Two large decks at the front of the house capture breathtaking harbour views while the living and dining areas have complementary east-west aspects to optimise morning and afternoon sun.
There are four double-bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes, and two have ingenious Murphy beds that during the day can be turned into workstations or folded away to maximise recreation space.
The kitchen includes two ovens, an induction cooktop and a DishDrawer dishwasher while the bathroom has under-tile heating, a glass shower, large vanity and toilet. “Families won’t believe everything this amazing home offers,” Craig Lowe, of Lowe & Co Realty, says.
“It has one of the best aspects you could wish for in Seatoun, as well as amazing indoor/outdoor flow to a huge lawn which is virtually unheard of in this location.
“As well as being metres from the beach and wharf, it’s on the doorstep of village shops and Karaka Bay is just down the road.”
