16 Foots Pl, Maroubra NSW 2035, Australia

A much-loved family home offered for the first time in over 50 years, this freestanding double-fronted residence is tucked away at the end of a boutique cul-de-sac just around the corner from Fowler Reserve on the cusp of South Coogee. Set on over 500sqm of level land with a 13m frontage, the home was custom built by the current owners in 1974 and stands as a testament to enduring quality with its robust double-brick and concrete construction. Wrapped in established gardens and bathed in northerly sunshine, the private backyard is designed for relaxed living with a 10m pool as centrepiece to family fun and an alfresco entertainer’s terrace complete with a barbecue and wet bar. Inside, a warm and welcoming layout offers multiple living zones including a character-filled basement rumpus reminiscent of an English-style pub. Five bedrooms are positioned on the upper level, including an oversized master suite, while a lower level home office adds flexibility. Immaculately maintained with original Tasmanian Oak joinery and internal access to double garaging, this is a home of heart, history and lasting appeal, just a short walk to Mahon Pool and along the coast to the north end of the beach.
