A seaside icon

Extraordinary in every way and just 120 metres to the crystal clear waters and glistening white sand, 'Buckland' is one of the finest examples of early 1900's architecture and has received the adoration of local residents over many years  Here you experience the best of both worlds with a neutral interior that only enhances the real hero of the home – the period detail and soaring high ceilings. The architectural features throughout are just beautiful with a stunning archway on entry, leadlight windows and doors, ornate ceiling roses and cornices, picture rails and original fireplaces. Now move in ready for the modern family. The floorplan allows for multi-purpose living with six access entry points to the home. It functions perfectly for a family with its four to five bedrooms, office, two bathrooms and two living areas. There is a wing on the northern side that could work well to care for elderly parents, long-term guests or a home business. There are many rooms that will accommodate client visits without disturbing the rest of the household. Given its close proximity to the beach, train, bus and local eateries, this home makes for the perfect beach house to Airbnb and/or, to use for yourselves when you feel like a sea change. The construction of thick solid stone blocks act as a barrier to any passing sounds. One would think that potentially, this could be a noisy location, but once you step inside, you will appreciate how easily the traffic noise just disappears. Some may unwisely dismiss this one for the location, but I can assure you, that would be a mistake. Inspection is a must to fully appreciate and understand this precious gem. Buckland is a substantial home with an internal footprint of 270 square metres.  Every room is oversized and further enhanced by its 3.6 metre ceilings. The home is surrounded by gardens and offers a leafy aspect from every window. Previous owners have loved to entertain guests for lavish lunches in the vine covered alfresco courtyard garden. There are two external eating areas outside, one undercover, the other in an open area. Currently set up for low maintenance living but there is always potential for a lawn area and a pool if so desired. Other features include original pine flooring, original fireplaces with timber and marble surrounds, a roaring gas log fire, security alarm and ducted heating and cooling throughout. Beautiful additions are 24 solar panels and battery, new fencing and veranda, rewired throughout, new plumbing for kitchen and bathroom, new roof, five olive trees and a home that is rock solid. Currently there is one, auto door, undercover car space with potential for an additional off-street park if required. Additional on street parking is available next to the home. This is a great opportunity and well worth a look.  Available for inspection over the holiday season outside of advertised viewing times.  I look forward to showing you through.
