About this property
Cinnamon House - retro artist's retreat, 100m from Murray's Beach.
Nestled within an original Sawtell building, it radiates coastal charm. Sleep to ocean whispers, savor 'The Hilltop Store' café nearby, and explore shops and eateries along the tree-lined main street, a breezy 500m stroll.
This haven combines convenience and charisma, crafting a distinctive coastal escape where cherished memories are made.
Tucked away at the rear of the block, this unit claims more than half of the building's space. A pathway leads to a leafy courtyard for you and your friends to chill, reached by descending a brief set of steps.
The lower level encompasses a full kitchen with dining area, seamlessly connected to the private courtyard.
A generously-sized laundry boasts an old fashioned cement tub and its own entrance, it leads to a spacious internal hallway that doubles as storage space—an ideal spot for surfboards or bicycles.
A straightforward bathroom completes this floor, featuring a shower over a bathtub, a vanity, and a toilet.
Ascending to the upper level, you'll be greeted by a sun-drenched sunroom with daybed perfect for relaxing with a book or extra sleeping if required.
The expansive primary bedroom awaits, a queen-sized bed graced with distant ocean vistas, complemented by a huge walk-in robe.
The cozy living space flows effortlessly into a second sunroom, adorned with louvers, perfect for yoga, set up your easel and art space or chilled relaxation on daybed #2.
The second sleeping space is a quirky small room with a comfy double bed.
The entire upstairs has views that extend over gardens or offer tantalising glimpses of the ocean, stretching as far as Smokey Cape. Open the louvers wide to invite in the invigorating sea breeze.
