12 Wagstaffe Avenue

Wagstaffe NSW 2257

Back in 1913, when Wagstaffe was just a quiet fishing village, its residents came together to build an Anglican Church right near the shoreline; it's an iconic piece of the area's history and still stands today at 12 Wagstaffe Avenue.

Heritage listed and now in private ownership, it's been carefully renovated and extended to capture much of timeless character of the original, while designing a family home that pairs contemporary comfort with style and flair. The church and its sunroom extension function as the main living/dining and kitchen areas; the space is gorgeous with sky-high timber ceilings, exposed trusses and its restored hardwood floors polished to a high sheen. A contemporary addition sits right behind, creating a pavilion design around the sun-washed decks and swim spa. The new extension includes a family room, two bedrooms and a gorgeous, top-floor master suite.

The water views are lovely, especially from the sunroom warm and bright in winter, and breezy all summer long. It's an amazing spot to watch the weather roll in. It's just steps from the local school and shop, with Palm Beach ferry wharf, fishing jetties, and swimming spots just moments from the door.
