Tucked into the heart of Palm Beach village, Snapperman stands as one of the few remaining originals from a more simple and soulful time. Originally built in 1945 and thoughtfully reimagined by acclaimed designers LuMu Studio in 2025, this quintessential cottage retains the warmth and integrity of its history while embracing modern living. Set on 1,056sqm of level, sun-drenched land, among the largest landholdings in the tightly held Sand Point enclave, this home opens to expansive lawns with scope to add a pool or garden studio (STCA). Inside, light-filled interiors flow easily outdoors, featuring open-plan living, kitchen and dining, three bedrooms plus a spacious master retreat with ensuite and living area, or ideal as a self-contained guest studio. The property's original sandstone foundations, hardwood floors and Oregon pine framing have been beautifully preserved, complemented by ducted air conditioning, smart home automation, new plumbing and electrics, and underfloor ventilation for everyday comfort. Backing onto McKay Reserve, the estate-like gardens connect to hidden rock formations, fern-lined gullies, cabbage tree palms, enjoying abundant wildlife including bandicoots, frogs, water dragons and native birds. Everything is within easy reach: Snapperman Beach, Sandy Beach, cafés, restaurants, shops, Club Palm Beach, ferry and bus links, with Avalon village only a short drive away. Perfect as a turn-key ready full-time home, weekend retreat, or income-producing investment through holiday letting, long-term rental or location shoots, Snapperman offers an authentic slice of Palm Beach life.
