Overview

A Grand Character Home by the Coast

Behind a stunning, picture-perfect frontage, this beautifully renovated circa 1905 character home offers a seamless blend of timeless charm and modern comfort. Situated on a generous 709 square meter allotment, this property exemplifies the rare combination of heritage appeal, community atmosphere, and coastal lifestyle that makes Semaphore a highly sought-after location.

The interior features a wide central hallway that anchors the home and reveals a floorplan designed for both purpose and flexibility. Soaring ceilings, polished timber floorboards, and carefully preserved original details highlight the home's historical character, while the spaciousness of each room creates an immediate sense of openness. The front section of the home is dedicated to well-considered accommodation, including a master suite with built-in robes and a private ensuite. Another bedroom retains its original fireplace, adding warmth and character to the space.

At the heart of the home, the layout opens into a spacious family and meals area that connects seamlessly to a beautifully appointed kitchen. The kitchen has been thoughtfully redesigned to balance form and function, featuring quality finishes, ample bench space, and a large walk-in pantry. This central hub connects effortlessly to everyday living and entertaining areas.

Over the past year, the home has undergone a considered renovation that carefully restores its original features while introducing modern updates where they matter most. A second bathroom has been added to provide flexibility for family living, and reverse cycle air conditioning ensures year-round comfort. These improvements respect the integrity of the home and enhance its original character.

The connection to the outdoors is equally strong. A covered verandah extends from the living space, creating a natural setting for entertaining. The established gardens and lush lawn provide a sense of space that is increasingly rare. Additionally, a separate study positioned off the verandah offers a quiet work-from-home retreat. The property also includes a double garage with an automatic roller door and a shed for additional storage.

  • Beautifully renovated circa 1905 character home
