13 Edwin Avenue, Avalon Beach.

Nestled beneath a gorgeous canopy of jasmine and wisteria, this home looks like a story-book cottage yet unfolds into a modern retreat with soaring interiors and a beautifully innovative layout. Architecturally designed by Peter Downes as his own home some 25 years ago, it merges classic forms with contemporary design themes to create a lovely family oasis; privately immersed within lush tropical gardens, the skylit interiors spill out to a vast north-facing verandah and pool. The cottage couldn't be better placed – it's no more than a few steps to Elvina shops and café, while the beach, village and parks are all within a 10 minute, level stroll of the home. - Classic beach cottage reimagined by local architect, Peter Downes - Single level, open plan with versatile loft space above the lounge - Skylights in the cathedral ceilings deliver bright and airy interiors - Immaculate and well-appointed kitchen high with quality appliances - Great entertainer with private, north-facing verandah and pool - Master suite opens to deck; master and bedroom 2 with built-in robes - Combustion fireplace, polished timber floors, underhouse storage - Professionally landscaped gardens; palms, jasmine and wisteria - Sensational location; walk to beach, village; steps to local shops Disclaimer: Whilst all care has been taken to ensure accuracy in the preparation of the particulars herein, no warranty can be given, and interested parties must rely on their own enquiries.
