11 Payten Street, Eraring NSW 2264

Basking in its world-class setting, this single-level stunner boasts Lake Macquarie as an extension of its front yard to effortlessly combine a glorious waterfront view with a close connection to nature. A tranquil escape set over 1.5 acres, here is a rare find indeed. More retreat than residence, the home is utterly charming, with an open fireplace and fretwork plus French and leadlight windows all adding character to its three-bedroom layout. A formal dining room, separate lounge room, sitting room and sunroom offer plenty of internal versatility, though you'll be drawn outside at every opportunity to soak up the magical water view and watch the comings and goings of birdlife. A standalone double garage, a double carport and a large freestanding shed increase appeal, though it's the grounds that will win your heart – they are tree-dotted from privacy, park-like in looks and meander down to the lake's shore. Dipping your toes in the water, launching your kayak, or throwing out a line is as easy as crossing your front lawn.
