Corner block six doors from water | Fasham-Johnson modernist shell | Custom renovation with engineered oak and travertine | Approved pool plans included The buying case rests on a rare combination of architectural provenance and immediate coastal proximity. The Fasham-Johnson design provides a modernist framework that the recent renovation has respected, with cathedral ceilings and triangular highlight windows creating spatial distinction absent from standard coastal builds. For a buyer seeking a single-level residence with genuine design credentials, the engineered French oak flooring, terrazzo-tiled ensuite, and stone-topped kitchen with double AEG ovens represent finishes that would typically require significant post-purchase expenditure. The approved pool and spa plans remove a major approval risk and cost, while the corner block with side-street access and automated gate offers practical separation from the street. This property serves best a professional couple or family who value architectural integrity and want a lock-and-leave coastal house with immediate water access. The primary risk is the early 1980s building fabric beneath the renovation, which may conceal structural or insulation deficiencies typical of that era, particularly given the bushfire overlay. The single-level configuration on 715 square metres limits future vertical expansion, and the corner block may carry higher council rates and maintenance obligations for wraparound gardens. However, the approved pool plans offer a clear value-add pathway: executing that build would increase the property’s scarcity in a coastal market where pool-ready houses command a premium. The NBN Fibre to the Node is adequate but not a prime driver. Hold this property as a medium-term coastal residence, with the pool installation as the logical first improvement to lift both liveability and resale position.
