- Some homes tell you everything from the street. This one keeps its best secrets beautifully tucked away. Behind its quiet, unassuming façade is an extraordinarily versatile coastal home offering not one, not two, but THREE distinct living zones: upstairs, downstairs and a separate granny flat/pool house. Three private spaces. Three ways to live. One brilliant answer to the question so many families are asking: how do we bring everyone together while still giving everyone room to breathe? Upstairs captures the relaxed coastal lifestyle beautifully. Light, breezy and welcoming, it features three generous bedrooms, a spacious kitchen, open-plan living and an enormous rear deck made for slow breakfasts, salty breezes and those "just one more drink" afternoons that somehow turn into evenings. Downstairs offers genuine separation and an impressive sense of independence. The substantial master retreat includes a walk-through wardrobe and an immaculately renovated ensuite, complemented by a generous living area, central kitchen and direct connection to the expansive covered outdoor entertaining space. It is ideal for extended family, adult children, guests, a home business or anyone wanting privacy without feeling disconnected. Then there is the separate granny flat or pool house, creating an incredibly rare third living option. Use it as private accommodation for family or guests, a teenager's retreat, creative studio, home office or poolside hideaway. The biggest surprise, however, is the quality of the renovation. The bathrooms and laundry have been transformed with luxurious finishes and an opulent feel that you simply would not expect from the street. It is the kind of detail that makes you stop, look twice and quietly say, "perfect!". Outside, the lifestyle continues. The sparkling freshwater pool is peaceful, private and beautifully framed by lush gardens and a tranquil waterfall feature, creating an oasis that feels more like a boutique retreat than a backyard. The gardens are supported by an automated, spear-fed watering system, giving you all the beauty without signing up for a second career in horticulture or the hefty water bill that usually comes with it. There is also exceptional parking for cars, a boat, caravan, trailer and weekend toys, with a double shed and workshop, separate double carport and additional open parking spaces. Perfectly positioned in beautiful Toogoom, you can stroll to the beach and local convenience store while enjoying the peaceful coastal lifestyle this tightly held community is known for. Space, flexibility and serenity. This is far more than a five-bedroom home. It is a property designed to adapt as your family, lifestyle and future plans evolve.
