THE COASTAL RESIDENCE

Whole Home Renovation · Forresters Beach, Central Coast

This two-storey renovation transformed a tired 1980s home into a refreshed coastal residence, with a reworked layout and larger windows to make the most of its ocean views.

The owners wanted to update the home inside and out while making it more comfortable and practical to live in. Walls were removed and relocated, reshaping the kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom and ensuite to better connect the spaces.

The kitchen was relocated, and a generous master suite was created with a walk-in robe and ensuite. Large windows brought the ocean outlook into greater focus and welcomed more natural light into the home.

Outside, new windows, a Colorbond Ultra re-roof and rendered brickwork gave the exterior a clean, contemporary finish. Restored hardwood floors, new flooring, premium bedroom carpet and updated bathrooms completed the transformation.

The result is a home that makes better use of its coastal setting, with spaces shaped around the owners’ everyday life.
