The Snapshot
Plans can wait when the view looks like this. Looking east across North Arm Cove, this inviting home brings the water into your daily routine. The sheltered deck frames the scene through established trees, with yachts dotted across the bay. Here, you can indulge your love of the waterways by having them always in sight.
The Home
Morning light across the water, yachts at anchor and coffee on the deck: 88 Eastslope Way gives everyday life a distinctly coastal rhythm. Set on a peaceful 780sqm allotment, this three-bedroom home pairs an east-facing outlook over North Arm Cove with generous living spaces, established gardens and the practical appeal of a triple garage and rear lane access.
A weatherboard exterior, Colorbond roof and covered timber entry create a relaxed introduction. Inside, the single-level layout opens into an expansive living and dining area, where cypress pine floorboards bring warmth to crisp white interiors. Wide sliding doors draw the eye towards the waterways, while built-in display shelving makes room for books, photographs and favourite finds.
The central kitchen keeps the cook connected to conversation and the view. Caesarstone benchtops, a glass splashback and white cabinetry create a fresh, cohesive finish, with breakfast bar seating for casual meals.
Slide open the doors and the covered timber deck becomes a natural extension of the living space. Timber and wire balustrading keeps the outlook open, framing blue water through the surrounding trees. Beyond, the enclosed backyard offers lawn for children or pets, established planting and three raised vegetable beds. Two rainwater tanks add everyday practicality, while rear lane access brings welcome flexibility.
The master bedroom occupies its own end of the home, with a generous ensuite, a spa bath and abundant storage. The two remaining bedrooms have carpet and built-in robes, with a second bathroom positioned conveniently between them. The laundry includes external access and a retractable indoor clothesline.
The insulated Colorbond garage provides three secure roller-door bays, complemented by a substantial concrete parking area for additional vehicles and visiting friends.
On the northern shores of Port Stephens, North Arm Cove offers a tightly held community and a setting that will resonate with sailing and boating enthusiasts. 88 Eastslope Way offers an appealing balance: space to settle in, useful storage, and a water outlook that makes staying home feel like a holiday.
