54 Barrenjoey Road, Ettalong Beach, NSW 2257

This beautifully reimagined character cottage in Ettalong is more than a home, it's an expression of warmth, individuality, and multigenerational living at its finest. Thoughtfully renovated throughout and accompanied by a fully self-contained studio, it offers a rare blend of period charm and contemporary comfort, with each space crafted to invite calm, creativity, and connection.

The main residence is filled with natural light, where soaring ceilings, oversized door frames, and rich blackbutt floorboards create a feeling of timeless elegance. Stunning stained-glass windows scatter colour and light across the interiors-most notably, a breathtaking feature window in the living room that perfectly frames a flourishing camellia tree, changing with the seasons and filling the space with quiet beauty.

The kitchen combines subtle whimsy with function-featuring electric cooking, soft baby blue splashback tiles, stainless finishes, and a servery window that opens onto the covered entertaining deck, effortlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. It's a space that encourages gathering, conversation, and shared meals.

Each bedroom is fitted with a ceiling fan, while the home's bathroom has been thoughtfully renovated with a heated towel rail and a harmonious palette that ties into the home's character. Acoustic insulation has been installed throughout all walls and ceilings, with upgraded sound-check Gyprock in the front bedroom for additional quiet. Gas is connected, and a smart rain-to-mains water system ensures a sustainable, low-maintenance lifestyle.

Framing the front of the home is a professionally engineered fence-designed not only for privacy and street presence, but to provide a further buffer from street noise, adding yet another layer of comfort and calm.

At the rear of the property, the self-contained studio above the garage is a sanctuary in its own right. Designed with multigenerational living, guests, or creative pursuits in mind, it features polished concrete floors with decorative stone, a private bedroom & a full bathroom with heated towel rail. Though not Passive House certified, it has been built with the same care and principles. A cantilevered balcony extends out into the treetops-offering an elevated haven to work, rest, or simply breathe.

Completing the offering is a large attic storage space, full fencing, and seamless design cohesion between the main residence and the studio.

Positioned in the heart of Ettalong, this property allows you to fully embrace the lifestyle this coastal village is known for. From weekend markets and waterfront cafés to cinema nights, bushwalks, and ferry rides across to Palm Beach-plus the beach and Ettalong's buzzing esplanade strip just minutes' walk away-Ettalong is a place that blends relaxed living with a vibrant sense of community. Here, every day feels like a holiday-but with all the warmth and grounding of home.

This is not simply a place to live-it's a place to feel, to create, and to belong.
