Recently renovated and move-in ready, 24 Thompson Drive is a striking four-bedroom, three-bathroom Tathra residence filled with little luxuries.

The home spans two levels and is set on a lush 3123 sqm block, featuring established gardens, a resort-like lagoon pool and vibrant natural surrounds.

Entry is upstairs, where elevated ceilings, exposed beams and a split-level design maximise the sense of space.

Timber floors lead into the sun-filled living room, which sales agent Natalie Scott says is warm and inviting.

“I love the style of this home. It strikes a lovely balance between quiet getaways and areas where the whole family can gather,” she says.

“There are loads of thoughtful design touches too, like the peachy pendant lights and built-in wood storage on both sides of the lounge fireplace.

“The atmosphere is luxurious without being too formal.”

Beyond the living room is the U-shaped kitchen, a walk-in pantry and dining space. It’s all about the view here – standing at the kitchen sink, guests can see right out to the ocean.

Opposite the upstairs living spaces are four spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Set at the front of the home, the master bedroom is spacious and bright, featuring a huge walk-in wardrobe and stylish ensuite.

Built-in robes offer extra storage for the remaining three bedrooms, which share a generous family bathroom.

Visitors can pop back past the lounge and out onto the covered deck to find a charming detached studio, also recently renovated. Natalie adores its sunny, cosy atmosphere.

“The studio is so inviting and offers a wonderful view of the ocean,” she says.

“It’s fully insulated with a new roof, flooring and double-glazed windows.

“You could easily use it to run your home business or as a guest studio. Personally, I think it inspires loads of creativity and would be perfect as a hobby or meditation space.”

Downstairs is a comfy, carpeted rumpus that could also serve as a teenager’s retreat or guest accommodation. There’s even a bathroom attached, as well as a convenient cellar.

Outdoors, the setting is defined by filtered ocean views, a gorgeous in-ground lagoon pool, and meticulously landscaped gardens filled with Australian native plants.

“You’re set on a large block in a quiet estate here, so it’s very peaceful,” Natalie says.

“But the centre of town is just a five-minute drive or lovely scenic walk away, so you’re getting the best of both worlds.

“The current owners have put so much love and care into this garden, which attracts loads of birdlife. Imagine waking up to their songs, how beautiful would that be?”

For sustainability, the block also features a new on-grid, 28-panel solar system and a rainwater tank, which is currently used for garden irrigation.

Three hours from Canberra, Tathra is a haven for nature lovers of all kinds. The region is ever-popular with swimmers, surfers, fishers, boaters, bikers and hikers.

Dining on local seafood is a must, as is a sunrise or sunset visit to historic Tathra Wharf.

“The beauty of Tathra really shows in how tight-knit our community is,” Natalie says.

“Our town is small but mighty with plenty of sports amenities, parks, playgrounds, shops, clubs, pubs and restaurants. We also have a great primary school.

“Tathra is a little slice of paradise made even sweeter by its people, so I’m looking forward to seeing who gets to call this beautiful property home next.”

24 Thompson Drive in Tathra is priced at $1,595,000. For more information or to book a private inspection, contact Natalie Scott on 0419 417 807. Keeping an eye on the market? Check out all the latest listings on Zango.
