Revived, refined and ready for its next chapter, 44 Southern Cross Boulevard, Shell Cove is a stunning showcase of what a top-to-toe transformation can achieve.
Brought “back to frame” and resurfaced entirely, this Torrens-titled residence feels like a new home – but with all the benefits of an established address in one of Shell Cove’s most enviable pockets.
Land 2 Sand’s Daniel McConnell, one of the property’s vendors, says the goal for the three-bedroom, three-bathroom home was to achieve luxury and a free-flowing design.
“The bones are the original house, but with some clever moves to open the floor plan right up, and flood it with natural light. Now it looks and feels like brand new and is really lovely to be in,” he says.
“In choosing the materials and aesthetic, we worked with a local architect and designer to achieve a new standard in ‘coastal luxury’.”
In a colour scheme of nudes and crisp whites, the home boasts three spacious bedrooms plus a downstairs utility room that could be converted into a fourth bedroom if needed. The main bedroom comes complete with a stylish, contemporary bathroom and sliding wardrobe.
The unmistakable heart of the home is an open-plan living room and new kitchen.
Boasting supremely high-end finishes, top-of-the-range appliances, a semi-walk-in pantry with prep area, loads of bench space and generous cabinetry and a stylish built-in dining table, it will be a joy to prepare and share meals in this space.
“Drawing the family around that dining space in the mornings and evenings, was very much the vision behind this feature,” Daniel says.
This area opens out to an impressive outdoor entertainment area — the ideal space for barbecues and long lunches with family and friends all year round.
“This property didn’t originally have an al fresco space, but with a delicious sea breeze it was begging for one,” Daniel says.
“We put in a high-pitched roof, moved the doors and created a double slider for seamless indoor-outdoor flow. This roof provides some cover from the harsh western sun, but is high enough to let the light flow through into the home.”
Externally the home is equally impressive, with an elevated yard on a desirable corner block of land.
The price guide for this home is $1,450,000.
Additional features to this lovely home include two additional, chic ultra-modern bathrooms, a separate downstairs rumpus room, ducted air conditioning and multiple car parking options including off-street and lock-up.
The home is near the state’s “best beach” – The Farm at Killalea – Shellharbour’s world-class marina and restaurant precinct, schools, public transport and close by the soon-to-be-completed hospital.
“We’re attracting families and professional couples from Sydney looking for a coastal retreat — with so many incredible attractions a short walk or pushbike ride away, it’s a very desirable spot,” Daniel says.
