The home:

Surrounded by character and heritage homes, this 1990 build by a local builder offers a rare opportunity. From morning walks along the shoreline to coffee at your favourite café or an evening wander to the iconic lighthouse, this is a location that invites you to slow down and settle into a lifestyle that feels effortless.

Set on an elevated allotment, the home enjoys a prized northern aspect, drawing in beautiful natural light all year round and making it especially well-aspected for the winter months.

The living room provides a front-row seat for Robe's NYE fireworks, with views spanning Lipson Park, the old town, Robe Harbour, and Guichen Bay, reaching as far as Baudin Rocks, Mt Benson, and Long Beach.

There is also exciting scope to further enhance these outlooks with a second-storey addition, subject to the necessary approvals, opening the door to something truly special for those who wish to renovate.

Inside, the home reveals a warm and inviting ambience, with exposed brick features, timber accents and soft natural tones creating a sense of understated character.

A welcoming entry hall leads through to the master suite, complete with built-in robes and a convenient half ensuite with toilet and vanity.

The heart of the home unfolds into a generous open-plan kitchen, living and dining zone, anchored by a two-way slow combustion wood heater set against a striking brick hearth, supported by a conveniently located large woodshed.

Large windows invite natural light in, while reverse cycle air conditioning and refreshing sea breezes ensure you are comfortable throughout the warmer months.

The timber kitchen is both practical and inviting, featuring ample storage, an electric oven and cooktop, a large corner pantry, and a water filtration setting on the tap.

At the rear of the home awaits the spacious minor bedroom wing, with two large bedrooms featuring new plush carpet underfoot, including one with built-in robes.

A central bathroom with a corner bath and separate shower, along with a spacious laundry and direct internal access from the garage, ensure everyday living is well catered for.

Outdoors, a sheltered courtyard and private rear garden offer a quiet retreat, including two paved entertaining spaces - one with sea views and the other a private, tree-shaded sanctuary.

The protected and lockable fully fenced rear yard is ideal for kids and pets, and the home is just a short stroll from the dog off-leash beach at West Beach. Furthermore, Robe's first fenced dog park has been approved for Lipson Park directly across the road.

The low-maintenance, "lock and leave" property includes a single garage with a roller door and approximately 10m² of additional space for a workshop or storage with shelving included.

The driveway has been widened at street level to provide extra parking.

The gardens are beautifully finished with new mulch and a variety of fruit trees including mini apple, apricot, plum, lemon, almond, and olive.

Meticulously refreshed for a move-in ready experience, the home features fresh interior and exterior paint, new carpet, vinyl planks, and updated bathroom tiling and tapware. While the exterior has been full-pressure cleaned and enhanced with new lighting, a new clothesline, and reinforced retaining walls. Every detail has been handled for peace of mind.
