217 Lawrence Hargrave Drive

Coalcliff NSW 2508

From this stunning elevated position, 217 commands more than 180 degree views all the way from Bald Hill in the North to Sea Cliff Bridge, and beyond to Wollongong in the South.
Its neighbours are barely visible as this home sits on the absolute promontory of Coalcliff township???s highest headland. Your views are uninterrupted and complete from well within the living areas of the home, and of course even more surrounding from the generous timber decking.
Dating from the 1890???s, the original home was a miner???s cottage, common throughout the Northern Illawarra.
On approximately 1,165 square metres of waterfront land, title extends to the high water mark, far below.
Extensively renovated and extended by the present owners, the home retains many charming and original features including working fireplaces, high timber battened ceilings, traditional front veranda and Baltic pine flooring (with the lovely patina of history and age). All windows and doors are cedar throughout the home.
Spanning two comfortable and spacious levels, the home has 4 queen size bedrooms complemented by two full bathrooms. Cleverly, both bathrooms are connected to bedrooms creating ensuites.
The master bedroom adjoins a truly enormous bathroom with a free standing caste iron claw foot bath, separate shower, and antique marble topped vanity.
Sharing the main living level the second bedroom features a skylight, working period fireplace and mantle piece.
The kitchen is solid Tasmanian Blackwood, with granite counter tops, tons of storage, gas Smeg cooktop, an island bench, and uniquely, a totally scratch proof and stain proof granite sink. And of course, you are totally surrounded by awe inspiring views to distract you as you create your dining extravaganzas!
The awesome dining area seats a table for 12 easily, and the cosy and welcoming sitting room is warmed by a cheery slow combustion fireplace which easily banishes any winter chills.
Kitchen, dining and sitting rooms flow seamlessly to the generous full length deck from which the views seem to go on forever!
Downstairs we find two bedrooms that are perfect for guests (or family of course!) and are lovely and private, being well separated from the living area and master bedroom. The bathroom here features a spa bath facing the ocean. Both bedrooms are greeted by the ocean views, whilst one even has French doors opening onto its own private garden sitting area. You???ll never want to leave (and consider yourselves warned, nor will your house guests!)
The laundry is also on this level, plus a huge storage room/workroom or hobby room (perfect for keeping hubby out of your hair, a real ???men???s shed??? which every great home has!) as well as a separate wine cellar.
