This is the life
Still working in Sydney part-time, Kerrie is always
delighted to return to this serene abode. “Coming
back to this house is like taking a deep breath,” she
says. “It’s so calming and physically beautiful.” When
she’s home, Kerrie and Rob might start the day with
coffee on the first-floor sunroom and return there
for an evening drink, within sight and sound of the
ocean. “We can even hear the announcements
over the PA at the beach!” says Kerrie.UPSTAIRS LIVING In this generous open-plan space, owners
