When a mere stroll across the road takes you to one of the Illawarra’s pristine northside beaches, it’s hard to imagine spending much time at home – unless the home is an oasis unto itself.
Boasting a resort-like concept by Birdblack Design and master-built quality by GN Williams, 11 Corbett Avenue, Thirroul is endearingly referred to as “Sandyfoot Residence” thanks to its front-row ticket to Thirroul’s McCauley’s Beach.
Ray White Wollongong’s Karen Egan has received high levels of interest in the five-bedroom, three-bathroom property, and she’s not surprised.
“The quality is second to none,” she says. “As you step through the doors, every day feels like a holiday.”
A grand entryway showcasing a six-metre ceiling void sets the opulent tone of this home, which is characterised by yawning proportions, abundant natural light and luxury inclusions.
Superlative building materials have been used throughout, including distinctive brick and timber feature walls.
This is perhaps no more obvious than in the magnificent kitchen, which includes a walk-in pantry and Zip tap, a massive, concrete slab kitchen island and handmade Italian splashback.
“It will be a joy to whip up family meals in this kitchen or catering to entertain friends,” Karen says.
Multiple living and entertainment spaces cater to a variety of experiences. This includes a lounge with a fireplace and the rooftop entertaining area, which is one of the numerous spaces capturing expansive views of Sandon Point’s glittering surf and sand.
The heated, self-cleaning wraparound pool provides an alternative to the surf for those days when you want to take your dip at home.
“Whether you’re sipping cold drinks with friends of an afternoon, enjoying a coffee to the sights and sounds of the surf rolling in, or curling up with a good book in front of the fireplace, these spaces make the perfect backdrop for creating memories,” Karen says.
“That’s what the owners wanted, along with a home their family could grow up in throughout its different stages.”
The stunning master quarters are a true retreat, boasting a custom wardrobe and ensuite bathroom with a standalone tub that beckons you in for a soak.
Though in a spot like this the beautiful beaches become your backyard, part of the property’s 695.6 sqm of prime Thirroul real estate is occupied by a “secret garden” out front, obscured by fence and greenery for ultimate privacy.
“There’s plenty of space for pets or a trampoline or just to kick around a ball with the kids,” Karen says.
Additional luxury features include a temperature-controlled wine cellar, heated floors and zoned air-conditioning for ultimate year-round comfort and CCTV for added peace of mind.
Functionality is not an afterthought in this home. A solar system for added environmental sustainability and a double lock-up garage are among its many practical inclusions.
Combining high-end elegance with practical family living, this is the perfect beachside retreat, with sand and sea right on the doorstep and Thirroul village, parks, schools and transport mere minutes away.
“This is the kind of home that pictures can’t do justice to,” Karen says. “You have to see it in the flesh to believe it.”
