Wood you believe this Waterman’s Bay retro stunner is up for grabs?
Hidden behind lush green foliage, a retro delight has been hiding in plain sight!
Set back just one block from the stunning North Beach coastline, 76 Flora Terrace has captured our imaginations – but needless to say, we hope you enjoy the rich warmth and texture of timber…
Split across three levels and with a charming courtyard at its centre, we can immediately see the appeal of the 1981-built home. But it’s the entryway’s atrium that immediately tells you what the home is all about: wood.
Warm timber panelling lines much of the home, paired with slate tiles and rustic brickwork. Plus, of course, the absolutely groovy indoor garden beds that we’re just itching to get our hands on.
Hop up a few steps and you’ll be in the open plan living, dining and kitchen: welcomed by that stunning, sweeping view of the Indian Ocean, we dare you to find a better spot for sunset drinks than that big ol’ balcony!
At the centre of this open-plan space, a double-sided fireplace stands proudly, its position emphasising the dramatic timber-clad pitch of the ceiling. We’re picturing a stylish vintage dining set, maybe some plush couches, a record player… The ’80s are calling!
And then, neatly tucked into the corner: the charming kitchen. It’s here that the singular materiality really makes itself known – this is head to toe timber!
(It’s giving: ship’s galley with none of the seasickness! Treehouse without the bugs! What’s not to love?!)

With the upper floor of the home devoted to this living and dining space, the three bedrooms are split between levels one and two. On the second level, the largest of the three with a spacious walk-in-robe and a delightfully retro beige-tiled bathroom… Some nifty new tapware and we reckon it holds its own against some of the new ’70s and ’80s-inspired bathrooms we’ve seen lately!
On the first floor, you’ll find the home’s other two bedrooms, another groovy bathroom and the laundry that peeks out to the atrium above.
And, once you get outside, there’s still plenty to enjoy! The huge 1,126 sqm block means oodles of garden space for kids to run around, summer parties or backyard picnics in the sunshine.
