Just 70 metres from the waves of Werri Beach, 75 Pacific Avenue is where coastal chic meets the provincial European countryside.
This Mediterranean-inspired home is characterised by sand-coloured outdoor arches, striking handmade wrought iron handrails and candelabras, raked ceilings, stylish timber shutters, quality brass tapware and luxurious 300 mm wide engineered oak floorboards, but is also prized for its front row seat to pristine sand and surf.
Ryan Stalgis of First National Coast & Country says the newly renovated five-bedroom home has been finished to the highest standard, emphasising tranquil relaxation and outdoor entertaining.
“The multiple sun-soaked al fresco areas are a big standout, catering to diverse experiences. There’s an east-facing rooftop terrace, a private courtyard and two covered patios,” he says.
“It can be barbecues and drinks with friends or a quiet breakfast in the morning sun while you listen to the waves crashing on the beach.”
The ground floor features two bedrooms, a bathroom, an open-plan living and dining room, and a kitchenette. This can be closed off with private access for complete separation from the rest of the house.
“This could be a teenager’s retreat, guesthouse or space for extended family to stay,” Ryan says.
Completing the lower level is the gorgeous private courtyard, generous double garage and laundry.
Upstairs is the sun-soaked open-plan dining and living area with vaulted ceilings, the kitchen, main bathroom, master bedroom with ensuite, second bedroom and storeroom.
One final level up is another ample space that could be used as bedroom number five, a rumpus room or even a kid’s retreat.
“The master bedroom has a beautiful sunny northerly aspect with peaceful views of the rolling green pastures and hills to the north of Gerringong,” Ryan says.
“The home is well designed to take advantage of its aspects. There is loads of natural light and always somewhere you can enjoy the sunshine, whether it be in the morning or the afternoon.”
The comprehensive, high-quality renovation includes a new roof, double-glazed windows, plumbing and electrical, air conditioning, a home alarm system, an automated sprinkler system and more.
Sitting on a 689 sqm parcel, the property’s large, level backyard has an outdoor shower and covered entertainment area.
“You can sit and relax with a drink while the kids kick a ball or play a round of cricket,” Ryan says.
“This yard also has plenty of space to build a separate home office or studio or put in a pool.”
On a tightly held, quieter end of Pacific Avenue, this home has easy access to the beach, lagoon and coastal headlands walking trail – a popular feature of the area connecting Gerringong to Kiama.
The price guide for the home is $4 million.
Werri Beach and the surrounding area has much to offer with its natural beauty, great surfing, scenic walks, bike riding, local wineries and produce, seaside golf course and more.
“Gerringong has a lovely community that still retains all of its small seaside village charm, which is increasingly hard to find this close to the city, being only 90 minutes south of Sydney,” Ryan says.
“Residents here enjoy total tranquillity and rarely let go of homes in this sought-after position, particularly after putting so much work into rebuilding or renovating – which is why homes like this don’t come to market very often.”
Number 75 Pacific Avenue, Werri Beach is open for inspection on Saturday 2 March from 10 am to 10:30 am. For more information call Ryan Stalgis of First National Coast & Country on 0423 593 149.
