Set among palms above the Bilgola coastline, this home pairs a dark, weatherboard exterior with a bright, sun-washed interior. Louvred shutters and a series of linked pavilions filter light and breeze through the house, and wide sliding doors open the living spaces onto timber decking and the pool. Inside, a sandstone fireplace anchors a calm palette of white joinery, natural fibres and soft linen tones. It’s relaxed coastal living with a quiet, tropical edge, made for long summers and ocean views.
