In all my years in real estate, I doubt I have ever met more fastidious, houseproud owners. This is not a holiday shack. It is a wonderfully maintained permanent home perfect for retirement.
This 3-bedroom single-level concrete block, slab-on-ground home is located just 7 houses from the beach. It backs onto the national park, meaning you can sit out on the large back patio with a view over the reserve. You will even see the odd Cassowary wander by. The yard is fully fenced so they don't come in, but they do love the sweet, juicy mangoes that grow on the reserve. You will too!
From the street, you can see the care that has gone into keeping this house so pristine. It has fresh exterior paint and a lovely, established garden. Upon entry, you will see the modern kitchen with its huge island bench (full of drawers), the centrepiece of the large open-plan living room. Storage and bench space are plentiful. The combination, along with the stainless steel gas/electric oven, means that cooking and baking are a breeze.
The house, being solid block, has good thermal mass, so it tends to retain its temperature, but just to be safe, all air conditioners are very recent models. The three bedrooms have built-ins and plenty of natural light. The bathroom has also had a full renovation and is light, bright, clean, and modern. Internal access through the laundry brings you to the main garage with its electric remote door, fully tiled floor, and extra storage space.
The fun begins outside. The wrap-around covered patio is where you will take your morning coffee and listen to the birdsong as you soak in the sun's morning rays. If it gets too warm later, then adjourn around the corner where you have full shade. The BBQ is out here, and there is hot and cold running water. There is room for a beer fridge, and you could mount a TV. You would hardly go back inside.
The massive shed at the rear is the icing on the cake. Featuring four bays, one is high-clearance with extra depth and currently houses the caravan. It would also be perfect for a reef boat. Access is from the rear and exit down the side of the house, and moving in and out is easy. The other three bays have two roller doors, and the fourth is a large, fully functional workshop.
There is something for everyone here, and the morning and evening walks down the beach just a couple of hundred metres away will make you feel like working hard all your life has been worth it to end up here.
