There is something wonderfully unhurried about 44 Hay Avenue, where the garden meets the water and the outlook stretches across the Shoalhaven River towards the coast beyond. First time offered to the market and set on a tightly held waterfront position in Shoalhaven Heads, the home embraces its setting with broad windows, generous outdoor spaces and a connection to the river that is felt throughout. From mornings watching boats drift across the water to long afternoons on the covered alfresco, this is a home designed around the simple pleasure of being by the coast.
Inside, the scale is immediately apparent. A substantial living room and separate family room provide generous spaces to gather or retreat, while the central kitchen, complete with walk-in pantry, connects naturally with the dining area and waterfront alfresco. There is an appealing warmth to the interiors, with timber-lined ceilings and character details sitting comfortably alongside light, contemporary finishes. Large expanses of glass frame the landscape, ensuring the water remains part of the everyday experience.
Four bedrooms provide excellent accommodation, including a waterfront master suite with walk-in robe, ensuite and beautiful views across the garden to the river. Three additional bedrooms, a family bathroom, powder room and well-appointed laundry complete the main residence. Thoughtfully considered practicalities include an elevator, extensive under-house storage, perfect for storing your watercraft equipment and much more plus an exceptional triple lock-up garage with additional bathroom facilities, providing enormous flexibility for vehicles with workshop space or storage.
Outside, established gardens roll gently towards the sandy shoreline, creating a remarkably private place to sit around the fire, entertain friends or simply watch the changing light across the water. A co owned jetty extends into the river just beyond the garden ideal for boating, fishing, swimming and days on the water quite literally at the doorstep. With the river, mountains and ocean forming the backdrop, 44 Hay Avenue captures the relaxed sophistication of waterfront living in one of Shoalhaven Heads' most compelling settings.
