Tucked away in the laid-back coastal village of Currarong, with sweeping views out across the bay visible from the drone shots, this renovation is a love letter to classic Australian beach house living. The aerial images say it all — a short stroll to the water, surrounded by gumtrees, and a home that now looks every bit as good as its setting deserves.
From the street, the bold aqua-and-white exterior is an instant statement. The elevated Queensland-style layout features dual staircases, wraparound decks with white timber balustrades, plantation shutters, and a freshly rendered garage with cross-panel doors — all the charm of a heritage beach house, brought right up to date.
Step inside and the renovation really hits its stride. The open-plan living and kitchen area is anchored by VJ-lined walls in a soft sage green, exposed timber rafters painted white, and wide-plank timber floors that run throughout. The kitchen is a standout — white shaker cabinetry, a generous island bench with woven rattan stools, a patterned mint-green tile splashback, and wicker pendant lights that nail the coastal brief perfectly. Every detail has been thought through, right down to the freestanding gas cooker and the floor-to-ceiling pantry cabinetry.
The bedrooms carry the same relaxed warmth — VJ-lined walls, plantation shutters, ceiling fans, and a styling palette of natural textures and coastal prints that feel genuinely considered rather than theme-park beachy. One of the bathrooms features a freestanding soaker bath, vessel basin on a timber-top vanity, and a frameless glass shower with stone-look tiles. The second bathroom echoes the same aesthetic with its own timber-framed mirror and natural stone-tiled shower.
The outdoor living spaces are where this home really shines. The upper deck is a full entertainer’s retreat — a built-in outdoor kitchen with cabinetry and bench space, covered by the same VJ-lined cathedral ceiling that continues inside, with a sweeping outlook over the treetops. Down below, a secondary covered terrace with large-format tiled flooring, louvred screens and timber ceilings creates a cool, sheltered space for the warmer months. The rear yard is tidy and well-landscaped, with a flagstone path winding past a charming aqua-painted utility room — complete with the kind of weathered fish decoration on the door that only works when everything else around it is done well.
This is the kind of renovation that respects a home’s bones while transforming how it lives. Jamieson Building & Construction have done a wonderful job bringing this Currarong classic back to life.
