There's a reason this home is called Happy Days. Life feels pretty good when the river, beaches and bushland are all part of your neighbourhood.
Positioned opposite nature reserve in a peaceful culdesac, this elevated home has been making the most of its beautiful surroundings for years. From the front verandah you look out across greenery, and from the back deck you can sit back and watch the afternoon light settle over the backyard.
The thing you'll notice first is how tranquil it feels. Yet you're not far from anything. Walk down to the riverfront for a fish, launch the kayak, head off to the beach or jump on the ferry into Port Macquarie. The ferry runs around the clock, making it surprisingly easy to get wherever you need to go. Somehow though, coming home always feels far away from the everyday.
Step out the front and you'll understand. Cows grazing to the left, waterfront to the right and sea breezes drifting through the trees.
The home itself is warm and comfortable with plenty of character and charm. Full-length glass draws the outdoors in and the open-plan living and dining area is a generous space to gather, relax or simply enjoy the outlook. A wood fire keeps things cosy through winter and reverse-cycle air conditioning takes care of the warmer months.
The kitchen sits amongst it all, looking out to greenery with Transit Hill in the distance. It's neat and tidy with ample bench space , storage, a wall oven and electric cooktop.
Both bedrooms are positioned away from each other, giving a sense of privacy. They each feature built-in robes and large windows, with the front bedroom opening directly onto the verandah. The bathroom is spacious, complete with a shower, spa bath and separate toilet.
Just wait until you see the level of space underneath.
There is huge garaging, extra storage, a large laundry with a modern bathroom, and a separate workshop/utilities room. Whether it's a boat, cars, bikes, tools, hobbies or simply all the things that never seem to fit in a normal garage, there's room here for them all. Additional practicalities include solar power and two large-capacity rainwater tanks.
The home is comfortable as is with scope to make it your own. Happy Days isn't trying to be the flashiest house on the market. It's something much harder to find.
A genuine home in a beautiful spot, where life feels a little slower, the air feels a little fresher and the next chapter is yours to write.
