Coastal character, serious shedding & room to make it your own

11 Bruce Street has something many homes simply do not. It has genuine personality.

From the wide front verandah and warm natural finishes to the soaring open-plan living area and enormous rear entertaining deck, this is a home that feels relaxed, individual and unmistakably coastal.

Set on an 805m² allotment beachside of Boat Harbour Drive and approximately 900 metres from the beach, the property offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, secure side access and an exceptional setup for anyone needing room for the caravan, boat, project car, additional vehicles or weekend hobbies.

Step inside and the main living space immediately makes an impression. Dramatic raked ceilings, exposed timber beams, high-set windows, woven bamboo detailing and polished timber floors create a wonderful sense of openness, warmth and character.

The kitchen sits naturally at the heart of the home and includes gas cooking, extensive bench and cupboard space, an island bench and separate pantry. Open-plan living and dining make everyday life easy, while sliding doors create a direct connection to the outdoor entertaining area.

And outside is where this property truly comes into its own.

Measuring approximately 7.87m by 7.95m, the enormous covered rear deck functions as an additional living area in its own right. There is ample room for everything from quiet morning coffees and Sunday lunches to weekend barbecues that stretch well into the evening with family and friends. A ceiling fan adds comfort, while the adjoining fenced backyard provides usable lawn for children, pets or gardens.

The wide driveway and secure side access continue through a remote-controlled gate to the rear of the property, where the substantial detached double-bay garage with workshop area measures approximately 6.7m by 7.79m and features two roller doors.

This is much more than somewhere to park the cars. It is the kind of garage many Australians dream about, with room to install a proper workbench, keep the pride and joy under cover, tinker with cars, work on the boat or create the ultimate workshop or private “men’s shed”. Whether it becomes Dad’s weekend domain, a home for the next restoration project or simply your own place to escape and get stuck into something, the possibilities are considerable.

A separate covered carport and additional hardstand area provide even greater flexibility for storing a caravan, boat, trailer or additional vehicles.

Back inside, the accommodation includes three well-proportioned bedrooms with ceiling fans, together with two bathrooms. The spacious family bathroom features both a bathtub and separate shower, while a second shower room, separate toilet and dedicated laundry add everyday convenience.

Two split-system air-conditioners service the main living area and primary bedroom. Tinting to most windows provides additional privacy and comfort, while security screens add further practicality.

The home already delivers a comfortable and highly practical lifestyle while giving its next owner the freedom to personalise selected finishes over time. Introduce your own colour palette, modernise at your own pace and create a coastal home that feels completely individual to you.

Importantly, the hard-to-add lifestyle ingredients are already in place, including the land, secure side access, entertaining space, parking and substantial garaging.
