The Agent Loves
"The generous layout gives the home an excellent foundation, with plenty of scope to update the interiors while preserving its relaxed waterfront character. It is an exciting opportunity to create something truly special in a setting that already does so much of the work."
The Location
North Arm Cove has a lovely tucked-away feel, offering a slower, more nature-led lifestyle surrounded by bushland, rolling countryside and the sparkling waterways of Port Stephens. Heros Bay adds to the village appeal with its shallow swimming cove, picnic area and family-friendly atmosphere, while nearby Tea Gardens and Hawks Nest make everyday essentials, cafés, dining and beautiful beaches easily accessible.
Tea Gardens - 16 min (16.6km)
Hawks Nest - 21 min (20.4km)
Newcastle Airport - 33 min (40.4km)
Newcastle - 59 min (63.4km)
The Snapshot
36 Cove Boulevard places the water at the very edge of everyday life. A broad, level lawn rolls through established gardens to the calm, protected reaches of North Arm Cove, creating space for long lunches beneath the trees, boats launched nearby and quiet mornings spent watching the bay shift daily through the seasons.
The Home
Where the bush meets the bay, 36 Cove Boulevard offers a chance to secure absolute waterfront living on one of North Arm Cove's most protected stretches of shoreline. Positioned on 1,916sqm, the property combines direct water access, a generous single-level home and a broad, usable parcel of land that feels both private and full of possibility.
The home sits among established trees and gardens, with a long lawn leading towards the water and framed views across the calm blue expanse of Port Stephens. A wide rear verandah runs the length of the residence, creating an easy place to dine, unwind and watch the boats shift with the tide.
From here, the landscape does most of the decorating: filtered sunlight, towering gums and water glimpses that change throughout the day. A second verandah at the front creates another sheltered outdoor zone, while timber-retained garden beds add texture around the home.
Inside, hardwood timber floors bring warmth and continuity to the open-plan living and dining area, where a combustion fireplace adds character and comfort and large glazed doors pull the outlook indoors.
The floorplan offers three bedrooms, including one with an adjoining study zone, along with a separate craft room that could readily adapt as a home office. Several bedrooms enjoy direct access to the verandah, strengthening the connection between the interiors, garden and waterfront. The main bathroom is finished with floor-to-ceiling tiling and a shower-over-bath, while the second bathroom presents a clear opportunity for renovation and personalisation.
For boating and fishing enthusiasts, the location is especially compelling. The title extends approximately ten metres beyond the seawall, creating potential for future waterfront infrastructure such as a slipway (subject to approvals), while a public boat-launching ramp and protected anchorage sit nearby.
Comfortable as it stands yet rich with scope to modernise or further enhance, this is a property where the land, water and setting carry real weight. Peaceful, practical and wonderfully connected to the bay, it is an enduring waterfront holding with scope to shape its next chapter.
