3 South Cl, Caves Beach NSW 2281

Better than new, the original build quality here is undeniable, the family home of a former high profile great Australian tennis player, it was designed to impress and make a statement, leaving a lasting impression on all of those fortunate enough to visit or be entertained here.

In its time, this home was the grandest property built in Caves Beach, with the very best in-your-face gob smacking surf and sand water views.

Today it can still very comfortably claim this title, having been internally and externally transformed, with substantial cosmetic and more major substantial structural changes, not only bringing it into the modern era, in terms of luxe looks, but also creating a far more enjoyable, and functional free flowing space.

Multiple internal walls have disappeared to create vast light and airy open living, so that the completely gutted and expanded kitchen and your everyday living up top, all drink in spectacular water views, while downstairs now offers very inviting, and beautifully connected additional living and entertaining by the pool and beach access, the current owners loving to spend time on both levels, sharing these beautiful spaces with family and friends alike.

Both stunning levels are complete homes in their own right, ideal for a syndicated friends or family purchase, the current owners very happily living downstairs for a time, while their children and grandkids lived up top, while they were renovating.

The upper level living enjoys a fabulous connection to an amazing full wrap around beautifully rejuvenated deck, drenched in huge water, and green hillside vistas, you can chase the sun or shade, depending on the season and or time of day, while downstairs also promises magnificent indoor and outdoor sheltered living, by what can only be described as a phenomenal pool, the likes of which you rarely see in today's modern homes.

A fabulously private and easy care front, side and backyard, perfectly frame the pool area, which also enjoys its own water views.

Blessed with the privacy, and easy vehicle access of a cul-de-sac, a double driveway entry, along with brilliant 4 car garaging, with internal and auto access, mean the practical elements of this home also impress, with room for visitors to park on the drive, or out on street both front and back.

A well hidden gateway access to The Esplanade, lets you pop straight out the back or the front, depending on who is telling the story for a quick dip between the flags, your morning coffee and breakfast by the beach at dog friendly Mylo's Cafe, or a sneaky beer at the surf club bar on a lazy Sunday summer's afternoon, also letting invited guests onto the property.

Extremely private, enjoy a secluded feel, whether you're by the magnificent pool, out on the deck, or inside, either upstairs or down, with high privacy fencing and beautiful landscaping creating a fabulous screen, where you always get to enjoy the views, sunshine and great breezes offered by being frontline, without being under the microscope of passers by.

It's hard to describe the feeling of freedom and quality this home evokes in all who have the privilege of visiting it, it's not pretentious or over done, in fact it beautifully retains its original sense of quality and quantity, yet it now speaks a language of contemporary, coastal high end living, without ever being ostentatious.

At our photo shoot we watched whales frolicking as they sailed by within what felt like almost touching distance of the decks, and it took all of our strength to hold back from going to market early with this one, in order to work to our owners' family and work commitment timelines.

An incredibly difficult home to give up, a big interstate move for our current owners, is going to give some very lucky, and hopefully very deserving buyer one of, if not, the best properties ever sold, not just in Caves Beach, but perhaps the entire 2281 postcode.
