Unfinished project overlooking Cheltenham Beach
Incredibly unique opportunity on this coveted cliff with only a handful of homes overlooking Cheltenham Beach, this unfinished project could be the perfect opportunity to create your new waterfront home in heritage Cheltenham. The majority of the hard work has been completed, including the engineering of the waterfront cliff, foundations and engineering for the lower level. The main level is fully enclosed including quality double glazed timber joinery. The consented plans are available to finish the home or you may choose to obtain new consents to realise your own vision. The lifestyle here is undisputedly one of the best in the country, you are close to great schools and amenities and the charm of Cheltenham Beach and the Devonport Village lifestyle is a great drawcard.
