A cherished beachfront home at 4 Ocean Road has been placed on the market, marking the end of an era for the family who has owned the property for close to half a century.
The three-bedroom house, positioned just metres from the sand, is being offered for sale at $10 million through LJ Hooker Palm Beach, with listing agent BJ Edwards handling the sale.
According to Edwards, the decision to part with the property wasn’t made lightly. The home has been a gathering place for the family across generations, hosting countless summer holidays and winter getaways since the 1970s.
The property’s enduring appeal lies in its relaxed coastal character and uninterrupted ocean vistas. Edwards describes it as having an older design whilst retaining considerable charm, noting that its beachfront location and proximity to Palm Beach village amenities make it particularly attractive.
The home sits on substantial land that extends behind the building, presenting potential buyers with various options. Edwards explains that the property could appeal to those seeking a renovation project or to buyers interested in developing the site with a new build.
Palm Beach’s tightly held property market means homes in this location rarely change hands. Edwards notes that owners typically hold onto their properties for decades, making this listing a rare opportunity.
The suburb attracts a mix of permanent residents and holidaymakers, with the split roughly 60-40 in favour of year-round dwellers. Whilst summer brings the area to life, Edwards emphasises that Palm Beach remains appealing throughout the winter months as well.
Located less than an hour from Sydney’s CBD at the northern tip of the peninsula, Palm Beach is recognised both for its natural beauty and as the filming location for the television series Home and Away.
The property has attracted several offers approaching the asking price, though Edwards indicates there’s no urgency to accept. After nearly five decades in the same hands, the family is prepared to wait for the right buyer.
Market data indicates Palm Beach maintains a high-end coastal property market, with properties in the area typically held for extended periods. The suburb’s limited housing stock and strong buyer interest contribute to price resilience in the area.
