The white house: Renovated Berry home marries Hamptons with the coast

Built in 1922, this original worker’s cottage received the TLC it needed and deserved in 2018, with a renovation from the inside, out.

Quite frankly, it’s now the kind of bungalow dreams are made of. Situated in country Berry, the strong Hamptons vibe radiating from this home makes it a standout from its neighbouring old-country-style properties.

Even passers-by have been known to knock on the front door to find out more about this beautified, utterly distinctive home.

“White” is the first word that comes to mind when describing the design theme. The external cedar panelling was painted white and a hedge bordering the residence was recently replaced with a white picket fence.

The corner block property is fully fenced, which makes it perfect for children or pets.

Inside the theme continues with white ceilings, white walls, a white kitchen and timber floors painted (you guessed it) white. It’s no wonder why it’s known to locals as “The White House”.

The home includes five light-filled bedrooms, a kitchen and a living area. Two of the bedrooms are located upstairs and feature raked ceilings and matching dormer windows overlooking the gardens.

Enjoy a completely renovated kitchen with new appliances, and abundant bench space, Smeg freestanding oven and kitchen island bench.

The living area flows out to the private outdoor alfresco entertaining space, which connects to the separate master bedroom or guest accommodation.

The master bedroom is complete with an en suite and has a charming Juliette balcony with views up to Berry Mountain.

You’re within walking distance to shops and cafes, the weekly local produce markets, transport and schools.

Berry is a country meets-coastal town that offers the most stunning backdrop to a simpler lifestyle. Think hinterland views, rainforest and pristine beaches, with a village of restaurants and boutique shopping.
