This long-held family retreat was once the centre of a thriving artist's enclave. The private art gallery next door, ?Arte Lido,? was designed and built by the current owner's founder, who was an Italian architect. The back cottage was designed to match the gallery and was once used as artist-in-residence accommodation.

The owners say, "Our father trained in Venice and was one of the first Italian architects to immigrate to Australia. 'Lido' and 'Burano' are the names of islands that form part of Venice."

Classic and character-filled, the front cottage enjoys spectacular Pretty Beach views from the covered front porch and the open-plan living area, which includes a light-filled living room, dining zone and functional kitchen. Original cyprus pine flooring continues throughout the home, leading to 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a second living room with direct access to the outdoor patio and easy-care backyard.

Also lending itself to low-maintenance living, ?Burano's? back cottage features 2 good-sized bedrooms with built-ins, ceiling fans and striking soaring ceilings that mimic ?Arte Lido's? architecture. Both bedrooms include lush and leafy outlooks. A large living room flows seamlessly onto a shady outdoor patio. Enjoy serene water and garden views from the modern kitchen and airy dining area. Accessible via a built-in loft ladder, the cavernous loft upstairs spans the length of the home, offering endless storage potential.

This coastal haven is just a few steps from Turo Reserve, where the kids can play in the playground, and the family can play tennis, basketball or soccer and enjoy a beachside picnic. Fish, kayak or stand-up paddle board from the nearby wharf, or take a sunset stroll. The owners recommend playing a game of cricket on the Pretty Beach sandflats, where you can also catch prawns and squid at night or hunt for bait. Walk 600m to nearby Lobster Beach for a swim, catch the ferry from Wagstaffe to Palm Beach or explore Box Head's Flannel Flower walking track, hidden beaches and Bouddi National Park.

Seize this exceptional dual dwelling opportunity and enjoy an unbeatable coastal lifestyle in a breathtaking locale.
