Overseas vendor says present all offers.

This much-admired classic bay villa has so much more to offer than meets the eye. Many generations of families have enjoyed this beautifully crafted home. The rimu floors, high board & batten ceilings, stained glass, French doors opening to the verandah - all create an inviting, relaxing ambience.

From the entrance foyer the hallway leads to the bedrooms, family bathroom and the master bedroom with ensuite. The original fireplace remains between the farmhouse kitchen and lounge. This encourages family and friends to gather around the centralised dining table to enjoy good food and conversation and after move through to the lounge to put their feet up and relax. This level also enjoys a north facing deck overlooking the heated inground pool and external stairs make it easy to pop down for a dip when it's time to cool off.

But wait there's more... the cute internal staircase steps down to the second level that you cannot see from the street. This floor is more informal with a second lounge opening out to the patio and pool, along with a media room or bedroom, laundry, loo, study and heaps of extra storage for all the suitcases and toys.

A self-contained studio above the garage is the cherry on the top - great for extended family, a lucky teenager, work from home or Airbnb.

All of this comes on a 931m2 freehold section with the seldom found, (often sought) big front lawn. The traditional white picket fence cleverly incorporates an automatic sliding gate for vehicle and pedestrian access keeping the integrity of the heritage streetscape intact. The Point's vibrant village eateries, beaches, bush walks, gym, library, kindy, schools, bus stops and ferry to town are only a short stroll away. This is "living the dream" seldom found so close to the city!
