Just 250 metres from Fisherman’s Beach and a short stroll to Lilo Café, this iconic 1940s California Bungalow delivers the backdrop to an idyllic beachside lifestyle on the classic “quarter acre block”. Here is a rare find – nostalgia and individual spirit in a large and beautiful family home. Framed by mature gums in a native garden, this four-bedroom landmark home, plus a one-bedroom bungalow, is a series of warm, light-filled spaces that invoke a memory of a simpler way of life.

Quality hardwood floors, curated fittings, high ceilings, decorative leadlight and textured glass panels hint at the home’s history. The main bedroom suite impresses with generous proportions, a walk-in robe, an ensuite and room to unwind, across the hall is a second, large bedroom. To the rear, a series of french doors pull light into the expansive dining and living zone which has room to accommodate a study/library area. The epicurean kitchen, which pairs vintage character with modern utility, features an envy-inducing walk-in pantry and high-quality Smeg, Bosch and Neff appliances. The broad covered deck extends the interiors into the garden for al-fresco dining and quiet moments beneath the Moonah trees. The conveniently placed wood-fired pizza oven turns out enough professional-level pizza to feed a crowd.

Two additional upper-level bedrooms with robes and cosy gabled ceilings are joined by a family bathroom and another living zone with a kitchenette, ideal for teens or guests needing their own space. Beyond the main residence, a self-contained one-bedroom tiny home delivers rare independence, with a private entrance and fenced garden shaded by towering gums. Perfectly suited to short stays or longer-term living, it features an al-fresco deck, a modern kitchenette, an outdoor bathroom and electric panel heating, with design touches that feel considered and quietly chic.

Complete with hydronic heating, ceiling fans, a shed/studio/workshop with multiple storage rooms, ideal for the at-home professional, and with internal access from the four-car carport, this home is more than meets the eye. With the beach, cafés, and Main Street all within easy reach, as well as public transport and schools nearby, this property lands squarely in the category of ‘hard to leave’.
