With a soft rustle of frangipani leaves and the shimmer of sunlight on water, 25 Riverview Street doesn't just offer a home-it offers a feeling. A feeling of calm, of privacy, of coming home to a place where the world slows down.
Just a few minutes' walk from the heart of Murwillumbah's historic town centre, this three-bedroom Art Deco gem sits quietly tucked behind a veil of established tropical gardens. From the street, its charm is subtle. Step inside, and it opens into something much more-the kind of space that invites deep breaths and morning coffees under a pergola surrounded by green.
The interiors are timeless yet light. Decorative cornices, a curved entry wall, polished timber floors and soft, natural light create a sense of elegant simplicity. The kitchen-a beautiful galley with a striking skylight - blends modern practicality with warmth, the kind of space where weekend baking and late-night conversations feel perfectly at home.
There are three well-proportioned bedrooms, a central bathroom with a deep spa bath, and multiple living spaces to gather or retreat. The palette is fresh, the proportions generous, and the layout thoughtfully zoned for comfort.
But perhaps its most captivating feature is outside. With minimal lawn to mow, the gardens take centre stage-lush, layered, and lovingly nurtured over time. A shimmering saltwater pool is nestled among the greenery, creating a private, resort-style escape just steps from your front door.
And then there's the edible garden-a remarkable 20-year labour of love. The owners have transformed the landscape from the soil up, creating a thriving permaculture food forest bursting with citrus, avocado, fig, banana and mulberry trees. Beneath their canopy, a rich underplanting of vegetables and herbs thrives. At the heart of it all sits a newly built hardwood pergola and paved entertaining area ready to enjoy.
The setting is unmistakably Murwillumbah: walkable, community-minded, and surrounded by natural beauty. You're moments from the river, cafes, local shops and galleries. A few minutes from Murwillumbah Hospital and just a short drive to the new Tweed Valley Hospital, beaches, and the Byron Bay hinterland.
