Description: A rare opportunity now exists to secure one of Falcon's most coveted positions: a 1,164 sqm corner block directly opposite the beach on Spinaway Parade, with only the parade and a strip of coastal dune between the front deck and the Indian Ocean. Front-row positions on this strip are keenly sought, and few sit on a corner of this size.
The residence is a classic elevated 1970s beach house, raised on a brick semi-basement and clad in corrugated steel, and it has faced this stretch of ocean for more than fifty years. It has been kept honestly and updated where it matters: solar on the roof, split-system air conditioning in three of the bedrooms, a slow-combustion wood heater in the living room and ducted evaporative cooling for the summer months.
Life here is lived on the 48 square metre wrap-around timber deck. A bar ledge with stools sits along the seaward rail, a long timber dining table and stainless barbecue stand beneath festoon lighting, and the outlook is straight over the dunes to the surf break out front. At the end of the deck, a 3.6 m x 3.9 m enclosed porch is closed in on three sides by pull-down shade screens beneath a raked timber-lined ceiling, an easy place to sit out a hot afternoon or a windy evening and still watch the sun drop into the sea.
Inside, the 4.2 m x 6.3 m living and dining room opens to the deck through a wide sliding door, drawing the sea breeze through the home. The kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, a timber-topped peninsula bench with open shelving, a dishwasher and a glass-door beverage fridge, with timber-look flooring throughout.
There are four bedrooms. The main bedroom enjoys a dual outlook, with a window through the screened porch to the ocean and a second across the foreshore reserve to Falcon Bay, and has its own split system. Two further bedrooms sit off the hall, one also air conditioned. The fourth is a generous studio at the western end of the deck, with a split system, a slider onto the deck and its own door to the lawn, which works as guest accommodation, a teenage retreat or a home office. A bathroom with a rain shower, a separate WC, a laundry and an outdoor shower off the side walkway complete the home.
Beneath the house, two garage bays behind roller doors are reached by a stamped-concrete driveway off Mercedes Avenue, with room on the drive for the boat or the van, and the level lawn wrapping the corner leaves space for children, dogs and a game of backyard cricket.
