you think of a beach house, what do you picture? A fibro shack? Something a little more sophisticated? Whatever you think of, it’s hard to imagine a property more breath taking than this one. Set over three enormous floors on a quiet cul-de-sac only 100 metres from the sand of Whale Beach, it gazes northward over the bay, the ocean and the Barrenjoey Peninsula to the north. With decks and sliding doors on every level, the whole idea is to make the most of that outlook. Walking into the spectacular and palatial main floor from the driveway and lock-up garage, you’ll be struck by the expanse of blue as soon as you come in the door. The next thing that will hit you is the practicality of the space – it’s the ideal spot for the family to gather thanks to its huge alfresco area, indoor dining space, fire pit and gorgeous entertainer’s kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances. Not only that, there’s a separate lounge area with space for the whole crew when nights are rainy or the call of Netflix gets too strong. The sleeping quarters are mostly located upstairs, including the epic master bedroom with walk-in robe, private deck and en-suite. The other three bedrooms don’t miss out, though: all are north-facing with access to a beautiful, covered deck area. The bedroom and family room downstairs are perfect for kids or teenagers, with plenty of space to play and access to the manicured garden. Five bathrooms (two of which are ensuites) and a laundry only add to the comfort factor. This home features stairs throughout and is not suited to people with mobility issues.
