DESCRIPTION
Built in 2010, with the views over the river and the rainforest very much in mind, 3 Thompson Street was designed for elegant family living.
Located in a quiet cul-de-sac, this generously constructed beach house backs on to the Bundjalung World Heritage Rainforest, so you will never be built out. The Clarence River is a mere 100 metres away for fishing, swimming, kayaking or a serene sunset stroll.
Situated in the highly desirable older part of town, on a hill that catches the sea breezes all through summer, Main Beach and Moriades Cove are an easy 10 min stroll. The supermarket, chemist, post office and cafes are just as close and the bowling club and iconic Sedgers Reef Hotel even closer. Have no doubt a home in this locale is in high demand, with no blocks for sale in this street of just nine houses.
This beautifully presented two-level home offers all the comforts of the modern beachside lifestyle. The streamlined open-plan kitchen was designed for entertaining, with a large central island bench featuring an Ilve gas burner and stylish stainless-steel Robin Hood rangehood. Chat to your guests while you cook, or supervise the homework while you make dinner. The other European Ilve and Bosch appliances complement the stone bench-tops perfectly.
There is plenty of storage in this kitchen, with a generous corner pantry and spacious north-facing kitchen deck overlooking the rainforest backyard, perfect for lazy summer lunches or breakfast in the sun.
The full solar power system will keep your power costs to an absolute minimum. The tall ceilings and wide hallways create an airy ambience and alleviate the need for air-conditioning, working with the cross-flow through the side windows to catch sea breezes.
If that does not tempt your appetite for the luxury lifestyle, add the full-sized pool/snooker room as the central entertaining hub, with clever design allowing for other entertaining spaces throughout the house.
A feature is the roof-top viewing deck, providing views and sea breezes while enjoying a cool drink after a day at the beach, or for early morning meditation. The lockup double garage with extra-wide bespoke roller-door is situated next to the entrance with a studio or home office on the ground floor. Again, there is masses of storage throughout these areas which feature a coloured concrete floor that is funky and practical.
Located within a cul-de-sac, where everyone is friendly, your new home is made up of 4 bedrooms with robes, 2 bathrooms with baths, separate toilet, study and studio: this residence will meet most family's needs. There is complete privacy in this home and the windows are glazed for insulation, with high-quality metal screens and sun-block blinds throughout. The durable, elegant flooring was chosen to make sure that sandy feet were not an issue. The staircase is artisan-built from local timber. The gutters and down pipes are top of the range Colourbond Ultra, chosen for their suitability for seaside living.
Iluka is a wonderful location, offering funky cafes, artisan shops and everything else you need for an idyllic seaside lifestyle. Like Byron Bay thirty years ago they say, but Iluka can never be built out because it is surrounded by river, sea and rainforest, with population planning capped at 4,000.
In this location you will appreciate the small yet important things in life, such as watching the fishing fleet go out each evening as you make dinner; riding your bike along the river to pick up the kids from school; a round of golf on an uncrowded course; strolling to the jetty for sundowners at the pub; watching the spectacular sunsets from your own viewing deck; afternoons walking the dog along Main Beach; greeting the dolphins at Moriades; and going to sleep at night to the sound of the surf.
This property is sure to please, either as a family home or holiday retreat.
