Tucked away at the end of a quiet, tar-sealed cul-de-sac, 14 Willes Street enjoys a peaceful position away from passing traffic, yet is remarkably close to the heart of Russell Island. The ferry terminal, supermarket, school, swimming pool, shops and other amenities are all within approximately 1km, while Jock Kennedy Park and its picnic area and boat ramp – one of only two recreational boat ramps on the island – are also within walking distance. In the other direction, the sporting fields, RICArts art centre and the Union Street community garden are an easy walk from home. It’s a location that makes it surprisingly easy to leave the car at home and enjoy much of what the island has to offer.
Completed in 2021, the home occupies an elevated position with a lovely northerly outlook and sea views, capturing cooling breezes and pretty sunsets. Set on a generous 708m² block and surrounded by well-cared-for, predominantly owner-occupied homes, it forms part of an appealing little enclave that feels tucked away despite being so convenient.
Designed for comfortable, low-maintenance living, the home offers approximately 157m² under roof, with high raked ceilings adding to the feeling of space throughout the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. Sliding doors extend the living outdoors to the covered verandah – a lovely spot for morning coffee, catching the breeze or sitting back to enjoy the outlook and colourful sunsets.
The main bedroom enjoys its own water outlook, walk-in robe and ensuite, while the second bedroom and separate study both feature built-in robes and ceiling fans. Originally designed as a two-bedroom home with a study, the study also offers the flexibility to be used as a third bedroom if desired. The practical low-set design makes this a home that can work beautifully long term, with easy accessibility and no stairs to negotiate as needs change.
Everyday living is made even easier with split-system air conditioning, solar power, solar hot water and a double garage with internal access, providing the comforts buyers are looking for without the upkeep of a high-maintenance property.
With vacant land in the surrounding area being advertised at over $300,000, 14 Willes Street presents a compelling value proposition – a modern, established home on 708m² with sea views, double garaging and all the hard work already done.
