More space. More options. Moments from the beach.
There is something undeniably sacred about life on Gill Road. The sound of the changing tides, slivers of coastal and port views, and access to the beach within moments on foot or quad bike create a coastal lifestyle that feels wonderfully refreshing. There is room to breathe here. Life feels clearer, simpler, more spacious, echoed by the extraordinary amount of room within the home itself.
There is also a level of care here that goes well beyond presentation; it can be felt as much as it can be seen. Owned by someone who understands houses, the approach over the past decade has been refreshingly simple: do things properly, and make each improvement count.
Significant renovation and thoughtful improvement have followed, extending well beyond the spaces you immediately see and enjoy to the less obvious work that matters just as much. The result is a home that hasn't simply been prepared for market; it has been prepared for its next owner.
North facing and positioned specifically for the sun, 8 Gill Road is a substantial home offering an almost unexpected amount of space. Five bedrooms and multiple living areas are spread across two distinct levels, creating flexibility for large or blended families, multi-generational living, those simply yearning for room to spread out, or perhaps those interested in exploring home and income potential.
It is the separation between the two levels that makes the home particularly clever, and the quality of the finish that completes it.
Downstairs, three bedrooms sit alongside their own bathroom and an impressively generous living room, with direct patio and backyard access and smart integrated storage. Teenagers can happily claim the level as their own, while extended family or guests can enjoy genuine independence. It is a layout thoroughly tested through the teenage years, allowing life downstairs to carry on while upstairs remains wonderfully peaceful.
Upstairs, a significant reconfiguration has completely changed the way this home is experienced. The bespoke Sydaz kitchen sits at its core, with magnificent glazing bringing in huge amounts of light and opening into dining and dual living spaces that follow the sun throughout the day. Dual outdoor living areas mean you can follow it outside too, or hide from it!
The kitchen is as practical as it is beautiful. A 90cm Electrolux induction cooktop, dual ovens and steam dishwasher sit alongside excellent storage and a cleverly designed pantry, with multiple power points keeping everyday appliances plugged in, accessible and out of sight. Even the custom window seat has been thought through, complete with its stone insert ready for a cup of tea while you enjoy the seasons.
Green outlooks and very few neighbouring homes in close proximity only add to the sense of openness. This is a home that works just as beautifully in a quiet moment on your own as it does when every bedroom is full, with enough space for everyone to come together, or happily disappear.
The primary suite also on the upper level, incorporates a walk-in robe and ensuite, while the second double bedroom has been thoughtfully wardrobed to quickly adapt into a highly functional home office when required. Together, this means the owners can comfortably live almost entirely on the upper level, while the rest of the household gets on with life below.
Outside, the generous North-facing grounds provide yet another layer of space and possibility, complemented by extensive off-street parking, integral double garaging and excellent storage. Enjoy it exactly as it is, or consider what might come next, with room for additional garaging or shedding, further entertaining areas, or perhaps the swimming pool you've always wanted.
For all its scale and practicality, though, it may be the lifestyle that proves hardest to replicate. The beach is right there, the changing tides provide the soundtrack, the outlook is open and green, and the sun seems to follow you through the home.
For a large family, a blended one, multiple generations coming together, or someone who has decided they would quite like more: more room, more sun, more storage and more freedom in the way they live, 8 Gill Road delivers in every aspect.
A remarkable amount of home and heart, in a very special pocket of the Bay.
