Having undergone progressive renovations and upgrades while maintaining the full integrity of its trustworthy 1950s build, this darling lowset cottage is the perfect place to begin your new chapter. First home buyers and empty nesters alike will reap the benefits of the style, comfort and bursting potential of this 2-bedroom home, set back off the street on an expansive 809m2 parcel of land with plenty of room for expansion. With the star features of a high-profile home including an impressive outdoor entertaining retreat, powered shed and more, without the price tag, this hidden gem in the heart of peaceful Slade Point cannot be overlooked.
The home’s fresh, light-filled interior captures the breezy coastal essence of the surrounding suburb. Featuring timber-look vinyl flooring throughout the main living and dining areas, fresh paint touch-ups throughout and upgraded LED lighting, the home has been well maintained and equipped for easy care, taking the burden of a big overhaul off your shoulders if you’d prefer a hands-off settlement. The newly updated 2PAC Kaboodle kitchen has that comforting, homey feel, complete with stylish glass display cupboards overhead and a light, neutral palette. Perhaps our favourite feature here is the brekkie nook with a front garden view where you’ll enjoy many mornings soaking up the sun.
The covered, insulated entertaining zone takes full advantage of the property’s idyllic aspect, overlooking the fully fenced backyard which features not 1, but 2 functional sheds with dual drive-in side access. After popping down to the picturesque Lambert’s Beach for a swim on a warm afternoon or having a cruisy bike ride and picnic with family, you simply couldn’t have a better home to come back to.

Why we LOVE Slade Point…
- Walkable/rideable neighbourhood – It’s easy to go car free when you can walk to Slade Point from home with its BBQ & playground facilities or ride a bike to the golden sands of Lamberts Beach. Pack a picnic and take the short drive to Ram Chandra Park by the beach and sit under the glorious shady trees while the kids are active in the playground facilities stretching along the beachfront
- Dining out – For a quick meal out & a few drinks, head to the Seabreeze Tavern, which is directly opposite Lamberts Beach & just a few minutes from home
- So much for the family to explore – The nearby Cathy Freeman Oval is a fantastic training facility for football, soccer, cricket & athletics. The boat ramp at Slade Bay makes it easy to get out & enjoy a day on the water
- Breathtaking natural beauty – Take in the elevated ocean views from the Lamberts Beach Lookout &, in the winter months, enjoy the whale watching from the viewing platform. Watch the sunset while enjoying drinks & platters overlooking Slade Bay from David Cheong Park, or explore the headlands, walking trails & rock pools dotted along the coastline between Albatross Street Lookout & the Lamberts Lookout
- Convenience – Home is just a short drive from a wide range of retail & medical services at Slade Point Central & 10 mins from Mackay Marina & the CBD. The local primary school is also a short drive away & the nearby bus stop provides easy access to other schooling options
