A subtropical oasis awaits, nestled beautifully between the long white sands of Blacksmiths Beach, and the aqua marine paradise that is Swansea Channel and Lake Macquarie.
Located on the coveted east-side of this tightly held beachside community the large, level block is in a safe and quiet cul-de-sac an easy stroll to both the surf-club and the local shops.
Offering a coastal lifestyle without equal, just an hour from Hornsby and 30 minutes from the CBD of Newcastle, this is beachside living at its very best with a tonne of scope to create whatever you want.
The 695 square metre block itself offers a sunny north to rear aspect with a single garage, large lawn area, a mini orchard and chookyard on the rear boundary.
Managed without the use of poisons and chemicals for the last six years, the mini orchard includes semi mature trees of lime, lemonade, ruby grapefruit, lemon, orange and mandarin, along with tamarillo, nectarine, fig, jaboticaba, apricot, guava, dwarf mulberry, custard apple, pomegranate, chocolate sapote and passionfruit. Neighbouring mango and frangipani overhang the fence.
The yard has been sensibly planted to allow for a large extension to the existing fully renovated three bedroom plus study house. Plans and engineering drawings are available for the previously approved (DA lapsed November 2015) extension.
With no plans to ever leave, the house itself was renovated for the current owner by a master builder with superb attention to both quality and detail. The scope of works included new cladding, insulation, eaves and fascia boards, new windows and doors, new wiring, new front deck, new gyprock, lighting, blinds, ceiling fans, built-in wardrobes, new kitchen cabinetry, 900mm Ilve electric stove, new gas fire, new fencing and side gate.
Sitting beautifully within a private, landscaped tropical front garden screened from the street by a mature tiger grass hedge, it has been renovated and reinvented to include louvred windows, double glazing balanced with insulated walls to create a comfortable eco-friendly home which captures those cooling north-eastern breezes, negating the need for expensive air conditioning.
Other low energy credentials include ceiling fans with retractable blades in all bedrooms and office, Solar hot water and a mains gas supplied Heat N Glow fireplace. The house and garage were completely rewired in 2011 (smart meter included) with an extension in mind and a tonne of existing power capacity for every appliance you could want.
Take the tour to fully appreciate what this home and the area has to offer.
