Overlooking picturesque Little Oyster Cove and the rolling green hills of Kettering, this exceptional residence is immersed in nature with stunning views to provide an enviable waterside lifestyle.
A private driveway leads to the elevated north facing property that is perfectly positioned for an abundance of all day sunshine. The property area is 5000 m2 / 1 ¼ acres. The house and workshop were built and designed by the owner who has been the sole owner for 26 years.
The home has been expertly designed for maximum comfort, practicality and versatility. Tasmanian Oak floorboards over a concrete slab retain warmth and ambience and Celery Top timber throughout the house blends perfectly with its natural and semi-rural surrounds. Comfort is assured with warmth from a central wood heater, evenly distributed throughout the entire home.
The functional timber kitchen and combined dining provide ample bench, pantry and cupboard space and is fully equipped with modern appliances including an oven, range hood and electric stovetop.
The light and sunny living room has large windows that frame the beautiful peaceful views of garden, boats and water. At one end of the residence, two generous bedrooms with built-ins and a family room can be found. Designed with the family in mind, a door separates these rooms from the main living areas. The master bedroom is located at the opposite end of the house and contains a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite with bath, shower, vanity and toilet.

The spacious separate workshop is inviting and enjoys unsurpassed views of its own. It is connected with three-phase power, rare in a suburban setting, and like the house, has Tas Oak floorboards over a concrete slab.
