The home was built Circa 1969 and has been continually improved over the years. The lower level is double brick construction, with new colorbond cladding added in recent years to the upper level. For those who love alfresco living, you will be very well catered for here! Two large decks are found at the front and back of the home - the front "Modwood" deck is new and runs the full width of the home, with access from the family/living room and master bedroom. The covered rear deck is huge and has a delightful outlook over the back lawn which is interspersed with some beautiful mature trees. Both decks attract the northern winter sun and create a really calming space to simply unwind and relax.

The ground floor level comprises of one large bedroom/living room with an adjoining bathroom/laundry. The room makes for an ideal teenage/guest retreat - alternatively it could easily be used for a family/games room. External stairs take you up to the rear deck, with access into the open plan kitchen/living/dining room. The u-shaped kitchen is very much part of the living space, looking out towards the front deck - glimpses of the ocean can be seen from the living room, with the view opening up from the deck, taking in "The Bluff". Polished pine boards are found in the living areas, as well as the three upstairs bedrooms. A slow combustion fire is found in the living room (perfect for the cooler winter months) together with a reverse cycle split air conditioner, providing year-round comfort.

The master bedroom has a built-in robe and another reverse cycle split air conditioner, with a door providing direct access to the front deck. The larger of the two remaining bedrooms looks out over the rear deck, whilst the third bedroom overlooks the back garden. The main bathroom has a new shower, bath and vanity - the wc is separate to the bathroom. Other features of the home include parking for up to three vehicles under the house in the large carport area, as well as the back shed which can house another vehicle or small boat. The interior of the home has recently been painted throughout.

The location is the undeniable winner here - a short walk will take you to the Yilki General Store for the morning paper and coffee and the Beach House Café is great for a meal at night. Whalers restaurant is a just down the road at The Bluff, adjacent to the easily accessible boat ramp - you will be there in a matter of minutes!

A great friendly location, ideally suited for either permanent or holiday lifestyle living!
