There are few places on the South Coast that capture the essence of coastal living quite like Tomakin. Where mornings begin with a surf, afternoons are spent exploring the river and evenings end with a walk along the sand, it's a community built around lifestyle, not routine. Positioned just one house back from the beachside reserve and less than 250 metres from your choice of spectacular beaches, this is an address that places you right on the edge of suburbia, where nature quite literally becomes your backyard.

Only six years young, this beautifully crafted single-level home combines the character and warmth of a timeless beach house with the comfort and efficiency of modern living. High ceilings, burnished concrete floors and an abundance of natural light create an inviting atmosphere, while the thoughtful floorplan has been designed to embrace both indoor and outdoor living. Reverse cycle air conditioning, a 6.6kW solar system and a 3,000-litre water tank ensure the home is as practical as it is beautiful.

At the heart of the home, the open plan kitchen, dining and living area flows effortlessly onto the expansive undercover entertaining deck through multiple glass sliding doors, creating a seamless connection to the outdoors. The kitchen has been cleverly designed with a walk-in pantry and a striking clear glass splashback that draws the greenery and natural light inside, making the surrounding landscape part of the everyday experience. It also provides the perfect vantage point to watch the family enjoy the flat, private, secure and sun-drenched north-facing backyard.

The master suite enjoys a peaceful position at the front of the home, opening directly onto the deck through sliding doors and complete with a walk-in robe and ensuite. Two additional oversized bedrooms provide generous accommodation for family and guests, while the overall layout offers exceptional functionality and an easy, relaxed way of living.

Outside, the lifestyle continues. Enjoy the hot outdoor shower after a morning at the beach, fire up the woodfired pizza oven, entertain family and friends beneath the stars or simply relax with the sound of the ocean in the background. Set on a well-planned 589sqm block, there's still plenty of room to add a pool or shedding if desired, while side access makes storing the boat, caravan or trailer incredibly easy. Internal access from the garage, a separate storage shed and plenty of space to make the property your own complete the practical side of the home.

Homes in this tightly held pocket are rarely offered, and it's easy to understand why. Combining character, modern comfort and one of the South Coast's most enviable beachside locations, this is your chance to secure an almost beachfront lifestyle-without the beachfront price tag.
