For true ocean lovers, it’s hard to imagine there could be a better place than 8 Paterson Road, Coalcliff.
Set on 565 sqm of absolute waterfront real estate, dramatic sea views pour into every level of this stately home.
While the impressive property has only just hit the market, the response has been just what Ian Pepper of Ray White Helensburgh would expect.
“Everyone who sees it falls in love – it’s hard not to. I think the most common response has been just ‘wow,'” he says.
“It’s at the crest of where Paterson Road reaches out to the ocean, so it feels like you don’t have neighbours, and that you could reach out and touch the sea.”
The views are dynamic and ubiquitous throughout the home.
“Wherever you are in this home, you can look over your shoulder and see something going on,” Ian says.
“Whether it’s whales migrating past, or surfers catching waves, fishermen peacefully casting a line, families exploring the rock pools or waves crashing dramatically on the shore, it’s ever-changing and spellbinding.
“I can’t imagine you could ever tire of it.”
Each of the three levels of this home offers its own uninterrupted ocean vista. The top level hosts the ultimate master suite complete with a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite with private ocean views from the glorious bathtub that have to be seen to be believed.
The second level features another three bedrooms, a bathroom and the heart of the home – a large open-plan kitchen, dining and living room. Bathed in natural light and offering panoramic ocean vistas from every angle, this expansive space is the ideal place to enjoy a cuppa in the morning as you watch the sunrise.
“You can be cooking in the kitchen and still gaze out at the ocean through the bi-fold doors,” Ian says.
A hovering fireplace will keep you cosy in the cooler months, beckoning you to settle in with a glass of wine and listen to the sounds of the surf.
This area flows seamlessly onto an enormous outside entertainment deck. Spanning the full width of the house, it’s a fantastic spot to watch the dolphins swim by.
The lower level takes entertaining to the next level, with a spacious bar, rumpus and outdoor entertainment area, once again overlooking the ocean.
“It’s the ultimate space for gatherings. The current owners have had many gatherings there over the years, and no doubt the new owners will have many more,” Ian says.
But it’s not all just pretty views – this home has unparalleled access to the water as well.
Uncommon for waterfront properties is the levelled, tiered backyard with cleverly designed landscaping that allows for large grass areas and your own private path directly to the patrolled Coalcliff Beach.
“You can chill on the terrace or nip out for a quick dip in the ocean and be back to the party before anyone notices,” Ian says.
The inviting Coalcliff ocean pool is only a 50-metre walk away, making it perfect for daily swims or serene relaxation.
The home also features a double-car garage with a workshop area and ample space to comfortably accommodate two cars.
Located just one hour south of Sydney CBD and about 30 minutes north of Wollongong CBD, this low-maintenance property would make the ideal family home, holiday home or weekender.
It is a leisurely stroll away from public transport, Leeder Park playground and the famous Seacliff Bridge and a short way from the recently opened Imperial Hotel; this property invites you to embrace the pinnacle of relaxed coastal lifestyles.
Number 8 Paterson Road, Coalcliff goes to auction on Saturday 22 June at 3 pm. For more information contact Ian Pepper of Ray White Helensburgh on 0403 570 041.
