Fabulous modern family home with all the space you will ever need! This five-bedroom brick home has a huge yard including two large sheds, under roofline entertaining area and a private courtyard outside the master bedroom. There is a spacious double lock up garage at the front of the home with internal access. The home sits on a level block with a well treed front yard providing the ultimate in privacy.

The home has abundant natural light with windows running along both sides of the living areas and two spectacular skylights adding extra natural light, especially in the cooler months. The family can relax around the wood fireplace with the home office space/formal dining room on the other side of the large chimney, which is the centrepiece of the home. This area has a feeling of warmth with the slate and carpeted flooring throughout. Access to the entertainment area is through glass sliding doors from the lounge room. There is a fabulous modern kitchen with a U-shaped bench design with breakfast bar, great storage areas and modern Bosch appliances. The dining area adjoins the kitchen and has enough space for a large dining setting.

The main bathroom features stunning floor to ceiling tiles and includes a separate shower and bath. There is a generous master bedroom with built-in robes overlooking an intimate private courtyard with sitting area and fish pond. A spacious ensuite compliments this parent's retreat. At the far end on the home is a very large second bedroom with a full wall of built-in robes and a split system air-conditioner. This room could also be used as a rumpus, TV or media room or even a teenager's retreat…the options are endless. The other three bedrooms each have built-in robes, ceiling fans and a garden outlook.

The rear yard has side access to connect with the two sizeable sheds (approximately 12m x 6m and 7m x 6m) which have concrete floors and power connected. The larger four-bay shed has sliding door access and the other two bay shed has two roller doors. Let's not forget additional extras such as the solar hot water, NBN connection and two spit system reverse cycle air conditioners.

Conveniently located, a mere 220 metres from Newmerella Primary School and a short walk to the BP Service Station where you can buy a few necessities, take-away or collect your mail. Down the road are the Newmerella Recreational Reserve and Show Grounds which hosts the Orbost Pony Club and Annual Orbost Agricultural Show and Equestrian events. The East Gippsland Rail Trail is nearby and is a popular cycling route running from Bairnsdale through forests and farmland and then over the Snowy River into Orbost where you will find a welcoming community, Regional Hospital, schools, shops and eateries.

It's just a short drive to the Corringle Foreshore and Lake Corringle, where you can launch the boat into the estuary system via the historical hundred-year-old boat ramp, chase the Bream that the Snowy is famous for and admire the birdlife. Corringle Slips also has plenty of tracks across the sand dunes to the ocean, perfect for catching a wave or some surf fishing. Take a river drive from Newerella along the Snowy River to the coastal town of Marlo for more water activities and a great pub meal at the Marlo Hotel. It's only a forty-minute drive to the tourist town of Lakes Entrance and under one hours' drive to Bairnsdale, the industry and business centre of East Gippsland. It is here the V/Line Bus from Orbost connects to the V/line train service to Melbourne. The V/line Bus also connects from Orbost to Canberra, with connections on to Sydney.
