A beautifully reimagined and renovated cottage, 11 Bloomfield Avenue, Corrimal is a home that has mastered an uncommon combination of functionality and feel.
Blending classic cottage charm with refined contemporary luxury, the home is characterised by wooden floors, a crisp, modern colour palette and ornate cornices.
“The vibe when you walk in is so lovely,” Dignam’s Adam McMahon says.
“Often a home that looks lovely isn’t entirely functional, or vice versa. Not all homes nail the combination of the two. This one does.”
At the front are four bedrooms of generous proportions, including a master retreat with its own luxuriously finished ensuite.
The fourth bedroom could easily be used as an executive home office, adding to the versatility of a floorplan ideal for growing families or remote professionals.
A freestanding bath sits surrounded by premium tapware and elegant feature tiling in an opulent main bathroom.
“There’s an exceptional attention to detail throughout, but especially in the kitchen, bathrooms and in one of the nicest laundries I have seen in a long time,” Adam says.
The secondary lounge offers flexible living and space for growing families.
“For the current owners, as their children became teenagers, that second living room made a huge difference,” Adam says. “Any family could seamlessly move into this home and the floorplan will adapt as they evolve.”
The main living zone centres around a fireplace, evoking images of warm winter nights and intimate family gatherings.
This sits adjacent to the heart of the home: the grand open-plan kitchen and dining space. Stone benchtops, statement island seating, a butler’s pantry, integrated appliances and a striking herringbone splashback make the bespoke designer kitchen a joy to use.
This, in turn, spills out effortlessly to a covered alfresco deck via statement bi-fold doors. The expansive covered entertaining deck with ambient festoon lighting is designed to facilitate seamless indoor-outdoor living. It overlooks a level yard, framed by established greenery and escarpment vistas, with plenty of space for kids and pets to run around.
Adjoining a separate courtyard and complemented by a double carport and extended driveway access, the substantial double garage has extensive storage.
“I could see it converting nicely to host a ping pong table and gym,” Adam says.
Other useful features include air conditioning for year-round comfort.
The home is located close to the village cafes, shops, schools and transport and moments from pristine beaches and coastal walking tracks. Directly outside its doors is a neighbourhood with storybook vibes.
“It’s one of those streets that’s very family-friendly, with a nice community feel,” Adam says. “You can see why it’s tightly held – once you’re in, there’s every reason to stay.”
