Welcome to a supremely light and airy 4-bedroom character home where you'll find a cleaner, greener way of living at the beach, with the inviting cool blue of the ocean just a five-minute stroll away.

Walking distance too to Grange Primary, this is a popular area with young families: however, the circa 1900 full stone home stands alone for its unique character and backyard delights including a sensational entertaining pergola. This is the perfect place to fire up the barbie, sit, laugh and contemplate life with family and friends on balmy evenings, while children explore the leafy gardens where two beautiful White Cedars intertwine to provide perfect summer shade.

The entry deck is another magical outdoor space where you can watch the world go by and chat with friendly neighbours, while the leadlight surrounding the front door is a jewel in every sense.

Keep your cool inside with fourteen-foot ceilings, eighteen inch walls and premium roof insulation. Nature does her part by supplying cooling sea breezes and it works! After a week of temperatures topping 40 degrees, the spacious interior is still as cool as the proverbial cucumber.

Here, the generous living area has been unlocked for open plan appeal, creating a natural flow-through from the wide hallway to the sunny kitchen, where you will love to get creative with new European stainless steel appliances including a 900mm Bellini gas cook top. Stone-look bench tops and vinyl flooring complement a good range of white storage including a pantry cupboard, while a separate breakfast bar near the back door doubles as a handy servery en route to pergola dining. French doors at the end of the hallway offer additional access to this all-weather venue.

At the front, two king-sized bedrooms are handsomely proportioned with appealing original fireplaces, making them versatile as extra living spaces if desired. Of equal size, the designated master features an abundance of sleek, built-in storage, while a fourth bedroom is presently disposed as a spacious study. This and one of the larger bedrooms enjoy original polished timber flooring while the other two are luxuriously carpeted in brand new, high quality SuperTuft.

The bathroom has also benefitted from recent upgrades; now featuring trendy stone-look ceramic flooring and a sleek contemporary vanity.

This environmentally friendly, low energy home is almost self-sufficient with a one kilowatt grid-connected solar panel providing free electricity for most of the year and 8,500 litres of rainwater storage to keep the beautiful native gardens and veggie patch thriving.

The gas central heating is efficient too and, with new floors in most of the rooms composed of H4 treated pine bearers and termite-proof particle board, this home is well protected on all fronts.

Complete with hard standing for one vehicle at the front and, at the rear, laneway access to an auto double garage/workshop with a professional mechanic's pit and additional hard standing for a boat or caravan; this appealing old home with the green factor is on 702sqm, offering plenty of space for future additions.
