About this property
Set on approximately 992.7sqm in one of Austinmer's most tightly held coastal pockets, 38 Mountain Road is a rare private holding that brings together designer renovation, generous land, separate studio accommodation and a lush green outlook toward the escarpment. Behind its timeless cottage frontage, the home opens into a striking contemporary retreat defined by soaring timber-lined ceilings, polished floors, custom joinery and expansive openings to a covered rear deck. The result is a home with warmth, volume and architectural character - calm, private and deeply connected to its garden setting. This is not a standard coastal cottage. It is a distinctive Austinmer property for buyers seeking land, privacy, flexibility and long-term value: a finished home to enjoy now, with scope to further evolve over time, subject to council approval. Your Home • Set on approximately 992.7sqm, the property offers a rare sense of scale, privacy and future possibility in a tightly held Austinmer setting. • The classic cottage façade gives little away. Inside, the home has been transformed into a refined coastal retreat, with soaring timber-lined ceilings, polished timber floors and warm architectural detailing. • The kitchen and dining area form the heart of the home. Custom cabinetry, open shelving, dark accents, quality appliances and a refined natural palette create a distinctly architectural feel. • A generous servery window and wide openings connect the kitchen and living zones directly to the covered rear deck, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining space. • The covered deck is a major lifestyle feature, framed by timber ceilings, established greenery and a private garden outlook. It is designed for long lunches, relaxed evenings and year-round connection to the outdoors. • The outlook is one of the property's defining strengths. The home opens to a lush green aspect, with escarpment character, mature planting and a genuine sense of retreat. • The generous backyard provides level lawn, established gardens and rare privacy, creating space for children, pets, entertaining or simply enjoying the calm of the setting. • Accommodation in the main residence includes peaceful bedrooms, including a master suite with walk-in robe and renovated ensuite. • The bathrooms have been finished with a calm contemporary palette, including full-height tiling, quality fittings and a freestanding bath in the main bathroom. • At the rear, a separate studio with its own bathroom and kitchenette-style facilities adds significant versatility. It is ideal for guest accommodation, a teenage retreat, work-from-home use, creative practice, extended family accommodation or future income potential. • With substantial land, flexible accommodation and a highly liveable renovation already complete, the property offers immediate lifestyle appeal while preserving longer-term possibilities, subject to council approval. Your Location • Positioned in sought-after Austinmer, one of the Northern Illawarra's most tightly held and desirable coastal villages. • Moments from Austinmer Beach and Thirroul Beach, placing morning swims, weekend surfs and coastal walks within easy reach. • Close to local cafés, village shops, schools, parklands and rail transport, offering lifestyle convenience and commuter appeal. • Surrounded by the natural beauty of the escarpment and coastline, Austinmer is loved for its relaxed atmosphere, community feel and enduring lifestyle appeal. • Approximately one hour south of Sydney and 15 minutes to Wollongong, offering an ideal balance of coastal escape and everyday accessibility. • With its combination of architectural renovation, substantial landholding, private green outlook and flexible studio accommodation, 38 Mountain Road presents a rare Austinmer opportunity: a finished coastal retreat to enjoy now, and a distinctive asset to hold for the future.
