Welcome to 81 Gold Coast Drive, Carrickalinga – the Jewel of South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula. The breathtaking views from the open-plan kitchen and living space will enchant you and your guests. As the sun sets over the ocean, you'll feel immersed in nature while comfortably relaxing on the couch. Morning and evening dolphin patrols are a daily delight, while seasonal whale visits bring the magic of new life to the calm waters of St Vincent Gulf. Schools of salmon, mulloway, and even tuna can often be seen swimming past, sometimes close enough to cast a line! Plus, with the crisp white sands of Carrickalinga Beach just 100m away, you can be in the water in under two minutes. Situated on a generous 800m² corner allotment, the property offers a spacious backyard with full vehicle access, perfect for visitors, boats, and toys. The yard is fully landscaped with lush green lawns, established gardens, and a private hedge, all irrigated for easy maintenance. A carport under the deck and a second secure parking space behind a roller door provide ample storage. Stepping inside on the lower level, you're greeted by a large poolroom/family retreat, ideal for teenagers or extra guests. A fold-out door separates a spacious bedroom that currently accommodates two queen-size beds, comfortably sleeping four to six people while enjoying stunning beach views. Double-brick construction keeps this area naturally cool, with a split-system air conditioner for additional comfort when needed. The expansive undercover rear veranda overlooks the lush backyard and is completely sheltered from winter winds. This space, already equipped with concrete flooring and ceilings, presents an excellent opportunity for additional bedrooms or living areas. An outdoor shower is also conveniently located here for rinsing off after beach days. Now for the main event! The moment you reach the top of the stairs, the wow factor takes over. Your eyes are drawn to the distant horizon, the turquoise shallows, and the pristine white sands, before you know it, you've been mesmerized by the view for hours. The original kitchen is light-filled and practical, featuring retro blue-tiled benchtops and timber cabinetry in a spacious open-plan layout. Whether dining indoors or out, the breathtaking views and birdsong will make every meal a moment to remember. To the left of the staircase, the master bedroom boasts built-in robes and direct access to the front deck, waking up to endless blue ocean views is simply spectacular. This room also enjoys a desirable north-facing aspect, bringing in warming winter sun. The separate bathroom and toilet, complete with a classic bathtub, feature charming 1960s décor, including vintage wallpaper and bold burgundy tiles-a unique and memorable touch! A second upstairs bedroom, located at the opposite end of the living area, includes built-in robes and serene backyard views. Behind the kitchen, a combined butler's pantry and laundry add extra functionality. This home captures the essence of relaxed coastal living, offering unbeatable views, space to grow, and endless opportunities for unforgettable memories.
