An original beachside treasure in the tightly held Freshwater Basin, this double-brick home presents an exceptional opportunity to secure a home on one of the Northern Beaches' most coveted streets. North-to-rear and just 200 metres to the beach, it has been cherished by the same family for 49 years, and offers outstanding scope for renovation, transformation or complete redevelopment (STCA). Set on a prized corner block with dual street frontages, the property blends nostalgic coastal character with versatile living spaces and sunny alfresco space. Two generous living areas, a modern stone-finished kitchen and a custom timber bar create an inviting setting for family living and relaxed entertaining, while the upper level reveals a spacious retreat and two light-filled bedrooms. Complete with a neat north-facing garden, wraparound courtyard and garage access via Charles Street, this rare offering captures the essence of Freshwater living – sunlit, laid-back and steps from the ocean, village, coastal walks, city buses and beachside eateries.
