Pretty as a picture lifted straight from a glossy magazine, number 550 Lawrence Hargrave Drive, Wombarra is the archetypal coastal home.
With the escarpment rising behind and the ocean opening out in front, this northern beaches bungalow sets the scene for idyllic family living or dreamy weekend escapes.
Its locale in one of the Illawarra’s most tightly held seaside villages invites you to watch ocean sunrises on the front porch, cuppa in hand, spend weekends exploring nearby beaches, walking trails and cafes, and to truly sink into a community and lifestyle the owners say is second to none.
“We loved being able to walk to Scarborough Beach and the ocean pool, catching up with friends at the bowlo and waking up to whale sightings from the kitchen window,” they say.
“This is a place where families can slow down, reconnect and enjoy the natural beauty of the coastline every single day,” Dignam Real Estate’s Adam McMahon adds.
Remarkable location aside, the beautifully renovated home itself is brimming with warmth and personality.
It’s characterised by natural light, an easy flow layout and an elevated position that captures stunning ocean vistas from the front living room, dining area, kitchen, rear family room and outdoor entertainment spaces.
“Hosting gatherings with ocean and escarpment views made every occasion feel special,” the owners say.
Soaring ornate ceilings, plantation shutters, timber flooring and a cosy slow-combustion fireplace add to the home’s timeless charm.
The home features three generous bedrooms, including a master retreat complete with a private ensuite.
The floor plan flows from the front living room to an open plan dining room, and then the heart of the home — a contemporary kitchen with an expansive island bench, quality appliances and a window looking out to the water.
This flows into a spacious open-plan rear living zone designed to embrace the outdoors, with raked ceilings and bi-fold doors opening seamlessly to the deck — the ideal spot to host barbecues and cocktail hour.
The deck, in turn, overlooks a secure backyard with plenty of space to kick a ball and play with pets.
“The home gave us the best of coastal living and community,” the owners say. “It’s a truly magical place to live.”
