Secretly tucked back and elevated on 737sqm, this landmark 3 bedroom 1950s Beaumaris home is one of a very special kind. From the street, all you can see is a thick canopy of Tea Tree,but beyond the steep driveway sits a house that has been home to one happy family for an incredible 56 years. Although decades and tastes have moved on, the overall structure here is very sound indeed. And being perched up so high, you not only have the advantage of fresh sea breezes on hot summer days, but also the chance to capitalise on stunning panoramic Bay views with the addition of another story - or perhaps a viewing deck. Inside living offers a large, combined dining and family living room with Ashlar stone surrounded gas fire (with functional OFP behind). Polished red Tasmanian Oak floorboards also reside under the carpets of this room. The kitchen/2nd meals area is spacious and separate and includes a floor to ceiling pantry and full length windows like the rest of the house. A compact bathroom and separate laundry complete the downstairs floor plan. Upstairs living offers 3 comfortable bedrooms (2 with BIRs), all untouched for decades and a central family bathroom still with original 50s pink wallpaper. The rear garden includes a filled pool, which could easily be re-claimed and a bonus bungalow which with a bit of work could be converted to independent teenager living quarters or perhaps a home gym or office. Yes, there is a lot of work to do here, so if rolling up your sleeves isn?t an option, you could start over and create your ultimate dream home. Just a short walk to the beach, Ricketts Point Teahouse, the Concourse and a choice of schools, you?ll want to be here for the next 56 years. Land size approx. 737sqm, frontage 19.2m.
