Stylish Coastal Cool - Hill Living with Flat Lawn!

Situated above the coastline with a sweeping ocean outlook, stunning views span over Sumner Beach, across to Scarborough and the surrounding hills complementing this thoughtfully renovated residence. Reimagined, this striking Cedar and block home carries a contemporary sensibility while remaining grounded in its elevated coastal setting.

Light and outlook shape the living environment, where expansive glazing draws the landscape inward and open-plan spaces unfold with natural connection to the outdoors. The home features a custom kitchen, showcasing sleek lines, premium finishes, and quality appliances, perfect for both entertaining and culinary excellence. The main living and dining domain extends to multiple decks, offering varied places to gather, unwind or simply take in the ever-changing coastal panorama. Below, a terraced, level lawn introduces a rare element of usable flat land on the hill, adding versatility to the outdoor experience.

Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged for flexibility and everyday ease, comprising three well-proportioned bedrooms, and three refined bathrooms. The primary suite opens to its own balcony, soaking in breathtaking views across Sumner Beach, with a walk-in robe and a private ensuite whilst the second family bathroom features a glorious freestanding bath.

The lower level is ideally suited as a teenager's retreat, private guest wing or an exceptional work-from-home zone. A former internal-access garage has been reinvented as a generous, carpeted studio with sliding-door access, complemented by a separate office, bedroom and additional bathroom on this level - creating a highly versatile living environment.

Ducted heating, insulation and double glazing (except porch) contribute to a consistent, gentle warmth throughout the seasons.

Styling is cohesive and considered, with a bright interior palette that compliments the home's coastal aspect and modern vibe, extensive in-built joinery adds to the appeal. The established grounds provide a hill haven with vege planters, a dedicated spa area and plenty of zones to entertain. Good drive-on access further enhances day-to-day practicality.

Balancing outlook, outdoor connection and contemporary comfort, the property presents as a calm, elevated retreat above the bays and is only minutes to Sumner and in zone Sumner School, Redcliffs and the outdoor hill tracks nearby. Cherished by the current owners, it now offers an exceptional opportunity for a new purchaser to secure a relaxed coastal lifestyle with views that truly inspire.

Auction Thursday 12 March 2026 from 4pm, Sumner Surf Life Saving Club (Unless sold prior)
