This Hamptons-style home is an oasis within the oasis of Kiama Downs

Resort-style living awaits at 25 Michael Crescent, Kiama Downs, a stunning four-bedroom residence of impressive proportions in the heart of a peaceful coastal locale.

Though cleverly landscaped to secure privacy from adjacent properties, the home takes advantage of its elevated northerly aspect, and is awash in natural light.

According to the selling agent, Raine & Horne Kiama’s Kathe Manansala, this is a true turnkey, with nothing left to do but move in and enjoy.

“It’s been recently renovated to be very low-maintenance both inside and out, and is a pleasant home to be in,” she says.

Tucked discreetly at the end of a battle-axe block, the main residence is characterised by fresh and modern interior finishes including plantation shutters and breathtaking cathedral ceilings.

Upstairs comprises two of the four bedrooms, both with impressive vaulted ceilings and built-in wardrobes.

The generous main bedroom located on the ground floor comes complete with a walk-in wardrobe and a gorgeous ensuite bathroom, featuring a deep Japanese bathtub that beckons you in for a soak at the end of a long day.

Beyond is the lofted lounge room which leads down to the modern kitchen. Recently remodelled like the rest of the home with a nod to the Hamptons aesthetic, it features a stone island bench and a walk-in pantry.

Adjacent is the dining room, which features the home’s signature soaring ceilings, punctuated by a high arched feature window.

This in turn leads out to arguably the biggest drawcard of the home – the stunning outdoor entertainment space.

“People who live in Kiama tend to spend a lot of time entertaining outdoors, and this home has an exceptional space to do so,” Kathe says. “You would hardly notice the home only has the one lounge room inside, because gatherings would invariably take place there.”

Central to this space is the sparkling in-ground pool set in a striking blue marble tile. Complemented by an outdoor covered area that transforms it into an all-weather entertainer, this area is perfect for barbecues with mates, cold poolside beverages and summer pool parties, where the rain can’t chase you away.

Visitors will be unsurprised that the home’s current owners own a landscaping business, as they take in the immaculately landscaped grounds featuring towering bamboo for privacy and easy-care tropical gardens.

“The landscaping contributes to the home’s overall low-maintenance, ‘lock-and-leave’ style living,” Kathe says.

At the other end of the house, across a smaller outdoor deck, a separate structure contains a single lock-up garage.

Above this, taking in beautiful views, a versatile space complete with a verandah and powder room can be used as a fourth bedroom, study, work-from-home space or guest quarters.

“This is a great home for families or singles who enjoy entertaining, as there’s plenty of room for a growing family with older kids who want their own space, or for friends and family to stay,” Kathe says.

Positioned on a whisper-quiet street and offering easy access to local shops, doctors and chemists, schools and local beaches, the home is perfectly situated in the suburban pocket of Kiama Downs, which Kathe says is like an oasis in the bustling tourism hub of Kiama.

“Kiama Downs is a fabulous place to invest if you want all the benefits of living coastal but to avoid the crowds,” Kathe says. “It’s its own little village with its own facilities, so in summer, when tourists flock, it’s often where Kiama locals go to avoid the crush.”
