Just moments from the ferry terminal, in the Magnetic Marina, is this beautiful waterfront home with its own private pontoon to moor your boat on. Look out across the masts of the yachts in the marina to the lush green hills of the island, with their picturesque granite boulders and hoop pines dotting the skyline.
Entry to the home is either by the smart front portico or by driving into the double garage and then accessing the inner breezeway, handy when you have shopping or on those odd occasions when it's raining.
The home has 3 main pavilions which open off the central breezeway as well as a self-contained granny flat on a lower level which can be separately accessed via a side walkway. The large double garage has plenty of room for two large vehicles plus all the toys - bikes, kayaks etc - and there is a study adjacent so you can run an office from home without clients needing to access the main house.
The main living area is spacious and open-plan and offers magnificent water views on two sides, opening onto a covered patio which overlooks the sparkling pool. Large doors and windows capture the cool sea breezes and create a bright light feel. The kitchen would suit any family, with stone benchtops, breakfast bar, gas stove, space for a double door fridge, double sink, dishwasher and plenty of storage.
The home is fully air-conditioned with ceiling fans throughout so you will be comfortable whatever the weather. At 373m2 in total, there is room for all the family, and visitors, where everyone can find their own quiet corner or come together with excellent flow between indoor & outdoor entertaining spaces. This would make a great holiday home or large family home.
The bedroom wing contains four comfortable bedrooms, two bathrooms and a laundry room. The master bedroom takes advantage of the water views and opens onto the patio and pool area. With walk-in-robe and a luxurious ensuite which allows you to take in the views from the bath with his-and hers vanity and double shower.
Bedroom 2 also offers water views and opens onto the patio and all the bedrooms have generous built-in-wardrobes. The family bathroom has a separate toilet adjacent, external access so it's handy for the pool, and has direct access to bedroom 3 as an ensuite, as well as to the hall so it's handy for all. Bedroom 4 may be the smallest but is still a good queen size with room to move.
The lower level features a 51m2 granny flat with full kitchen, large open-plan air-conditioned living, bathroom, bedroom area and large store-room. The perfect teen retreat - if you don't want them to ever leave home, or great opportunity for an income stream - live upstairs and holiday let downstairs with its own private access, you need never know anyone is there!
The private pontoon is a real bonus, with opportunities to purchase pontoon properties rapidly diminishing. Moor your boat on your own pontoon so you can go sailing at the drop of a hat when the weather is perfect or zip over to the mainland whenever you like.
Magnetic Island is gaining in popularity by the day as people discover this beautiful little gem that has a been a well-kept secret for many years.
