Set among towering spotted gums and native ferns just metres from untouched coastal bluffs, 33 Denise Drive at Lilli Pilli is a dreamy little home that brings the beauty of the outside in at every opportunity.
Lilli Pilli is a heavily treed, ultra-private community with no through traffic. A local herself, sales agent Sarah Ralston says you’d be hard-pressed to find a quieter neighbourhood so close to the ocean.
“Lilli Pilli is a small, peaceful enclave with a tightly held market, so homes like this don’t pop up often,” she says.
“You’re really living among nature here – the local wildlife is so vibrant and filled with life, including whipbirds, lyrebirds, parrots and kookaburras, curious reptiles and small marsupials. Dolphins can also be seen in the bay and whales pass by as they migrate.
“If you want that coastal lifestyle without the hustle and bustle of other bay areas, Lilli Pilli is the perfect spot.”
Reminiscent of a charming treehouse, number 33 follows the natural lay of the land across three levels. The entry level hosts the oversized master bedroom and recently renovated bathroom.
Downstairs are two more bedrooms, which Sarah says have gorgeous views and a laid-back ambience. Gentle off-whites and deep blues stick to the coastal theme, and timber accents bring it all together.
“All of the windows in this home are large and strategically placed to bring the outside in,” she says.
“I love that it feels like you’re living in a treehouse, hidden away from the world with foliage everywhere you look.”
Light reigns supreme upstairs, where the kitchen, dining and living areas reside. Having also been recently renovated, the kitchen is contemporary in style and fitted with quality appliances.
A unique European pellet heater keeps the entire floor cozy in winter, and when the warmer months roll around, the enclosed deck opens up to let in the refreshing ocean breeze.
“The second deck is open to the forest and boasts a magnificent spotted gum centrepiece,” Sarah says.
“It’s so peaceful, the perfect space to just close your eyes and breathe in the serene coastal air.
“The forest comes alive in the early morning and at dusk, when you can hear the whipbirds sing and the waves crash on the cliffs. It’s a landscape like no other, and you’re completely surrounded by it.”
33 Denise Drive is set on 1330 square metres of woody paradise. Less than 200 metres away is Circuit Beach, promising plenty of sunny afternoons relaxing on the sand with a good book, enjoying the crisp air and watching dolphins play in the waves.
This property has been the much-loved holiday home of its current owners for 25 years. Sarah believes it would best suit a family with older children ready for a tree change or a holiday investor looking for that extra special home away from home.
33 Denise Drive at Lilli Pilli is priced from $1,500,000 to $1,600,000.
