4 Somerset is a home with a rich Australian past. Known as a Nissen Hut, it was designed to provide ready-made housing for post-war British migrant families. Fifty of these huts were constructed in Belmont North with many since demolished. In 2022, 4 Somerset was renovated and a new section added for contemporary living.
The front of the house has a warm and inviting feel, with a carport and deck area to sit on during the morning and enjoy your coffee whilst looking over the ocean and horizon. As you enter the home, you are greeted by an open plan living, kitchen, and dining space. Filled with natural light the area is spacious and perfect for modern entertaining.
Down the hallway you will find your first bedroom to the left, with built-in robes and more natural light. To the right of the hallway is extra storage space and the bathroom and laundry area. As you keep walking, you are welcomed by the main entrance, which incorporates floor to ceiling windows with views of the local area and the ocean.
Finally, at the very back, you will find your master bedroom with ensuite and dual built-in robes. This space provides a sense of modern luxury and is a hidden oasis from the rest of the home.
If you want a piece of history, 4 Somerset is the place for you.
