Set back on one of Balmy Beach's most established streets, 289 Beech Avenue offers the kind of scale, warmth, and presence that's increasingly hard to find. This substantial 2.5 storey detached home features 6+1 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and a layout designed to evolve with the way you live, balancing everyday function with the ability to host, gather, and grow over time. The main level unfolds with intention, moving from more formal front rooms into a relaxed kitchen and family space at the rear, where life naturally settles and connects to the backyard. It's a layout that works just as well for quiet mornings as it does for full houses and long evenings, where spaces feel distinct yet connected in a way that supports both routine and occasion. Thoughtful proportions and flow allow each room to stand on its own while contributing to the rhythm of the home. Upstairs, the 2nd floor offers generous bedrooms, multiple full baths, and a dedicated office, creating flexibility for families at every stage. The top floor is set apart as a private primary retreat, with additional rooms that easily shift into dressing space, workspace, or quiet sitting areas, offering a sense of separation that is increasingly rare. The finished lower level extends the home with a rec room, bar, and multiple flex spaces suited to entertaining, fitness, or guest use, offering separation without feeling removed and space that adapts as needs change. Outside, the fully fenced backyard is built for real use, anchored by a pool, expansive deck with lounge and dining areas, mature gardens, and a natural gas BBQ hookup. A detached garage and extra-long 5 car private drive provide rare parking capacity in a highly walkable neighbourhood. Just steps to the lake, parks, ravines, schools, and the shops and cafes of Queen Street East, this is a home that feels as good to live in as it looks, and one that is ready for its next chapter.
