Perfectly designed for effortless holiday living or easy everyday life, this private home sits on a 765sqm (more or less) rear site in a sought-after location. Thoughtfully laid out with three well-appointed bedrooms and two bathrooms, it offers practical, low-maintenance comfort for families or holidaymakers alike.

The heart of the home is an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, enhanced by high ceilings, a blonde timber kitchen with gas cooking, tiled floors and views towards Acacia Bay with glimpses of the lake — particularly stunning in the evening sun.

Entertaining is effortless here, with sliders opening to a patio and fully fenced yard, while a corner of the lounge fully opens offering a great opportunity to create another perfect alfresco dining or entertaining area. Low-maintenance gardens ensure minimal upkeep with potential to add your personal touch.

Two spacious bedrooms with double wardrobes and external access, a generous family bathroom and internal access to the double garage with laundry space complete the main floor. Comfort is assured year-round with double glazing, a large woodburner located in the living room and a heat transfer system.

Upstairs, the master suite boasts large windows framing views towards Acacia Bay, a walk-through wardrobe with skylight and a generous ensuite — the ideal retreat.

With room to park the boat and a location near the new conveniences and infrastructure, this is a smart, low-maintenance choice for a holiday escape or permanent home.
