Spanning three vast levels, 78 Flora Terrace is a haven for multi-generational families.

Set amongst picturesque Watermans Bay, feel the sea-salt breeze in this six-bedroom, three-bathroom coastal oasis where options for seaside living are abundant.

Presenting a mix of contemporary design and ocean-inspired interiors, Realmark Coastal Director Sean Hughes said the property was synonymous with beachside living in the northern coastal corridor.

“Through its architecture, it’s a coastal home, but it’s also a large and luxurious home,” he said.

“Sometimes very big homes can feel a little bit ostentatious, but this home still has a casual and comfortable feel about it through its combination of polished concrete, wooden floors and imported stone.”

The outset presents as a private concrete jungle in varying hues of grey – enter through the secure courtyard as the warm double timber doors invite you inside.

Sleek and elegant, the home features whitewashed interiors and warming hints of timber, perfectly suited to its coastal surroundings.

The lower ground floor is the ideal spot for self-sufficient grandparents or guests to stay and have their own space, with three expansive bedrooms, each boasting their own walk-in robes.

Perfect for balmy evenings, the lower ground-floor kitchen seamlessly flows outdoors to a covered alfresco and sparkling pool.

Take a dip as you watch the kids play on the rolling green lawn – a multifunctional space beaming with potential and subdivision opportunity.

This home has so much to offer for multi-generational families,” Mr Hughes said. “The kids could kick the footy on the grass or play cricket without parents having to worry about the danger of roads nearby.”

On the ground floor, the million-dollar view is best captured from the outdoor alfresco balcony.

On warmer days, open up the bi-folding stacker doors and cook up some locally caught dhufish on the built-in barbecue.

“You get the same elevation views that you would have along the waterfront, just minus the traffic along West Coast Drive,” Mr Hughes said.

Back inside, take the timber staircase to the first floor, where a third open-plan kitchen and living space resides.

On this level, the turquoise views of Watermans Bay continue from the expansive entertainer’s balcony.

Also on this level is a home theatre to catch up on the latest flicks, and a spacious study perfect for busy students or professionals working from home.

The pick of the sleeping quarters has to be the stunning master suite, where a central architectural stone bathtub is the headliner.

The remaining bedrooms are sprawled across the bottom two levels, each mimicking a relaxed, seaside feel.

Bursting with additional extras such as a wine cellar, a double lock-up garage and a feature fireplace, terrace living doesn’t get much better than this.

“You’re one street back from West Coast Highway, so that element of privacy and protection is there, yet you don’t sacrifice any of the benefits like an elevated view,” Mr Hughes said.

“You’re so close to the water that you can just throw your towel over your shoulder and walk to the beach.”
