38 Bridges Road

Set majestically into one of Gerringong's most elevated pockets, Willowbank House is a home with presence - confident, considered and beautifully grounded in its surroundings. Built in 2005 and refined over time, the house rests on a generous 660sqm corner allotment, where ocean air drifts in from one direction and the escarpment rises in the other. Thoughtful additions, including solar power, whole-home water filtration and an automated garden irrigation system, quietly support a lifestyle that feels both settled and sustainable. It is a place that feels calm and anchored, yet deeply connected to everything the South Coast offers. Inside, the sense of scale is immediate. High ceilings, detailed cornicing and two gas fireplaces bring warmth and texture, while natural light softens the formality and keeps the spaces relaxed and liveable year-round. The dining room anchors the home and opens naturally into a farmhouse-style kitchen with stone benchtops, a substantial gas oven and bifold doors and windows that open fully to the outdoors. A servery window links kitchen and terrace, hinting at long lunches, slow evenings and effortless entertaining. The main living space is bright and inviting, framed by a bay window that draws the garden in and creates a natural place to work, read or simply pause. Climate comfort is easily maintained with multiple reverse-cycle systems and ceiling fans throughout. Upstairs, a generous family room opens to a balcony where the outlook shifts with the day - ocean blues, mountain greens and wide, open skies. Accommodation is generous and thoughtfully arranged across both levels, offering flexibility for family, guests or working from home. A guest suite on the main level enjoys its own ensuite and bay window outlook, while upstairs the primary bedroom feels quietly indulgent, with a walk-in dressing room, ensuite and another bay window that captures the changing light. Additional bedrooms are well-sized, comfortably appointed and fitted with ceiling fans to enhance everyday ease. A separately accessed guest flat introduces another layer of living. Fully self-contained, with its own living area, kitchen, bedroom and ensuite, it offers privacy and independence - equally suited to extended family, visitors or a retreat with income potential. Outside, the home opens up in all the right ways. A louvred patio creates a sheltered entertaining space, flowing effortlessly from the kitchen and dining areas. Here, a temperature-controlled, custom-made circular spa-pool, outdoor shower and exterior barbecue-fireplace invite year-round use, whether for summer evenings or winter gatherings by the fire. The gardens are established and quietly romantic, with camellias, roses and weeping cherry trees framing verandahs and balconies that encourage you to linger. A multi-camera security system provides peace of mind, allowing the home to feel private, protected and at ease. Tucked away from the energy of holiday crowds, yet moments from the village, beaches and cafés, Willowbank House offers a rare sense of balance. Ocean to one side, mountains to the other - this is a home that allows life to slow down, without ever feeling disconnected.
