Situated on the Esplanade at Henley Beach just a short walk to vibrant Henley Square and Joe's Cafe, the old bones of this home have been graciously and gracefully restored into a sophisticated, functional beauty.
This is a top end, creatively renovated residence with a well thought through blend of traditional and modern features. A contemporary palette, coupled with quality fixtures and fittings, make this is a very desirable home.
It features generous proportions fashioned over two levels with original archways, soaring ceilings, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 living spaces, and a seamless transition from indoor to outdoor living - as a start.

During summer and winter this is where you can enjoy watching the weather unfold outside. On colder days, underfloor heating and an ornamental ambient temperature gas fireplace will keep you warm.
A connected but separate dining area is perfectly positioned to be interactive with the living, the kitchen, and the outdoor alfresco area. You can cook up a storm in the high-end kitchen where you will relish the pleasure of cooking with Smeg, Gaggenau, Ilve, and Miele, appliances. A mirrored splashback ensures ocean views are maximised for the chef as well as guests sitting up at the generous Smartstone Statuario island bench.
