Brought to life in 2008 by a talented local builder, 9 East Lane is a stylish weatherboard home tucked into one of Tathra’s most desirable streets.
The serene two-level residence is equipped with four bedrooms, four bathrooms and multiple living spaces.
Peace and relaxation are almost guaranteed here, especially in the quiet, leafy courtyard or sheltered inground pool.
Best of all, Tathra Beach and the town’s many amenities are right around the corner.
The indoors is defined by a unique mix of contemporary, coastal and Asian-fusion style.
Natalie Scott from Tathra Beach Real Estate says a sense of calm washes over visitors as soon as they step through the front door.
“There’s a modern edge to number 9, but it also has a soothing atmosphere that immediately makes you feel welcome,” she says.
“A beautiful louvred glass walkway leads you from the entrance past the pool and courtyard, then through to the heart of the home.
“The views here are really something. They stretch up the nearby coastline and across the ocean, where you might just glimpse whales migrating between May and November.”
Polished concrete floors keep the living, dining and kitchen space comfortably cool, even in the height of summer. Though this side of the home is open-plan, a clever feature fireplace separates each area for a seamless sense of flow.
The family room, four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a convenient European-style laundry are located at the front of the home.
There are two bedrooms on the ground floor and two upstairs, all generously sized with large windows, built-in wardrobes, and brand new carpets.
“I love that every bedroom is equipped with its own private ensuite, so you’ll never have to share,” Natalie says.
“Both upstairs bedrooms have sunny balconies that offer gorgeous views of the courtyard, Tathra village and the nearby coastline.”
The family room is also carpeted, offering a relaxed rumpus space with a wall-mounted TV. It features cedar sliding doors that open out into the courtyard beyond for seamless entertainment and relaxation.
Loosely inspired by Asian landscaping styles, the courtyard features timber bench seating shaded by mature bamboo planters. Dappled sunlight adds to a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
Simple pavers, pebbles, and easy-care foliage create a sense of peace and harmony with nature while keeping maintenance needs low.
“The courtyard makes you feel like you’re tucked away from the rest of the world, but still connected to the rest of the home,” Natalie says.
“It’s an intimate setting, the perfect place to spend quality time with loved ones or unwind after a long day.”
Tying everything together is the beautiful inground pool, which is well-protected from the elements and heated by on-roof solar tubes.
Tathra is a charming coastal town with a deep connection to sun, surf and all things seaside. The community is ever-popular with nature lovers, mountain bikers, surfers, photographers, foodies and families.
Tathra Beach is great for surfing and swimming, with an extended patrol season supported by local businesses.
Historic Tathra Wharf was built in 1862 and remains the only deep-sea timber wharf on the east coast of Australia. The original Tathra Hotel was also built in the 1800s, but is now a modern venue offering hearty food and live music. It’s the perfect spot for an afternoon with friends and family.
“We have wonderful amenities here despite being a smaller community of about 1700 people,” Natalie says.
“This home is tucked away right near the centre of town, so our local supermarket, butcher, bakery, hairdressers, medical centre, post office and more are just around the corner.
“If you’re looking for a relaxed life among nature, you can’t go past Tathra.”
