5 Trelawny Avenue

Relax with the soft sigh of the sea breeze and surf on the beach at 'Silver Banksia', 5 Trelawny Ave, Sandy Point. Positioned perfectly at the quiet end of Sandy Point, just 150 metres from Manuka St with its bush walking trails, beach lookouts and access trails and approx. 900m from the small boat launching spot at the Spit at Shallow Inlet. This much loved, double story, weatherboard beach house sits on a rare 1244m2 double block on 2 separate titles. The simple house has large windows to optimise the ever changing, dappled light from the surrounding native vegetation. Perfect to inspire painting practice and create a hub for old fashioned, relaxed family beach holidays. It is redolent with the ambiance of happy times, small sandy footprints and long lazy dinners. The double height living room with its sculptural woodwork has painted timber floors, a long kitchen bench with an electric cooker, plenty of storage and room for at least 10 people to sprawl round the long dining table. In the cooler months relax in front of the Nectre slow combustion wood fire in the lounge, or turn on the ceiling fan if cooling is required. At the rear of the house sits a practical combined bathroom/laundry and separate toilet. The spiral staircase leads to the 1st floor landing with space for a home office, kids retreat or spare bed. The private master bedroom has large built-in robes, and windows looking over the garden and the 2nd bedroom also has generous storage. Outside, the garden offers plenty of room for boats and tents in the season. A recently cleaned 22,000L (approx.) rainwater tank provides the house water. Whilst a ground water bore with a separate pump is available to water the garden. Wastewater is managed by a septic tank. The double shed/garage is still standing but does need a little TLC. 'Silver Banksia' offers buyers a rare chance to get a foothold into a premium area of Sandy Point, with its wonderful beaches and native bush.
