Room to make your mark on the coast

Safely nestled on a subdivided block in sought-after Sorrento, 5B Hawkins Avenue is the ultimate blank canvas, packed with potential for buyers with a vision.

Arriving at the property via its long driveway, visitors are greeted by its warm and welcoming facade. The dark brown feature timber and beige rendered walls give a great modern look, while the front yard is effortless to maintain.

Realmark North Coastal Sales Associate Aaron Green said the coastal location and huge potential made the home a special one.

“It’s a full 745sqm survey strata block with no common area,” he said. “It’s not your typical battle-axe block.”

On entry, visitors are greeted with an abundance of natural light thanks to a tall arched window behind the staircase.

The window, which faces west, is complemented by a neighbouring small arched window fitted with stained glass with a beach theme – a hint at the home’s close proximity to the coast and Hillarys Boat Harbour.

Downstairs and to the rear of the home, the kitchen boasts a simple and modern design incorporating bright colours to complement the rest of the home.

The kitchen is partly connected to the laundry, which is designed in the same style and could even double as a scullery if needed.

Mr Green said the kitchen and laundry were newly renovated, complete with a Euromaid gas cooktop, Artusi oven and a breakfast bar “for those quick bites”.

French doors lead out to an enormous backyard which reveals a renovator’s dream.

Craft a serene sitting area amongst the terraced gardens and footpaths, and look out to distant rooftops while you bask in the sunshine Perth is known for.

“It’s a true coastal retreat to call your own, with a covered alfresco area,” Mr Green said.

“Here you can light up the barbecue and invite friends and family over to relax and entertain.

“You may even want to add a granny flat or pool in future.”

Back inside and in the bedroom wing you will find two double-sized bedrooms, one of which has its own French doors leading to the backyard, making it perfect as a guest suite.

“An additional living space is also present, making the ideal space for a kid’s activity area or large office, while the family bathroom is complete with a shower, vanity and separate toilet,” Mr Green said.

Upstairs, the ultimate parents’ retreat consists of the master bedroom and a luxurious living space flowing out to a wraparound balcony.

“Here you can catch the ultimate ocean views and watch the sunset,” Mr Green said. “And the master suite features a walk-in robe and ensuite with bath, shower, vanity and shared powder room.”

In terms of amenity, Mr Green said the home’s proximity to parks, a well-respected college and the lively Hillarys Boat Harbour made it great for families.

“Metres from the coastline, Geneff Park and around the corner from Sacred Heart College, you will find this coastal retreat filled with delight that ticks all the boxes,” he said.

“A spacious home filled with potential waiting for you to make your own mark, here you have a solid floor plan already in place with the option to extend or renovate to create your own family oceanside dream home.”
