The Home
Properties like this change your pace entirely. Mornings begin with still water and soft eastern light filtering across the bay. Days are spent boating, entertaining, fishing or simply watching the tide move from the deck, while evenings settle into sunsets reflected across one of Port Stephens' most peaceful waterfront settings.
Positioned across a substantial 1,631sqm parcel with absolute deep waterfront access, this beautifully renovated tri-level residence balances relaxed coastal elegance with exceptional boating functionality.
The sense of arrival feels private and established, before opening to uninterrupted water views, expansive entertaining zones and a private jetty that places the waterways quite literally at your doorstep. Deep-water frontage allows larger vessels to remain moored year-round, creating an incredibly rare opportunity for boating enthusiasts seeking convenience without compromise.
There is also substantial accommodation for the lifestyle itself, including generous parking for boats, caravans, trailers and jet skis, alongside a separate double garage and additional storage shed.
Internally, the home has been thoughtfully renovated with a refined yet easy-living coastal palette. Expanses of glass invite the outlook inward from almost every angle, while engineered timber laminate flooring, sheer full-length curtains, stone benchtops and soft-close cabinetry create a calm and sophisticated atmosphere throughout.
The main living level flows beautifully between indoors and outdoors. The kitchen, dining and living spaces open directly onto a covered timber entertaining deck complete with driftwood-style feature ceilings and frameless glass balustrading, allowing the outlook to remain uninterrupted. Two bedrooms on this level also open directly to the deck, while the bathroom and laundry continue the home's polished contemporary feel.
Above, a second living zone, kitchenette, additional bedrooms and another bathroom create flexibility for guests, dual living, holiday accommodation or extended family stays. An elevated entertaining deck on this level captures an even broader perspective over the bay and surrounding waterways.
Outside, landscaped gardens, rock-retained walls, level lawns, feature lighting, under-home storage and rainwater storage complete a property that feels beautifully established and entirely connected to its natural environment.
160 Cove Boulevard is more than just a waterfront home. It is a lifestyle asset, a private coastal retreat, and a rare opportunity to secure deep waterfront living with the freedom to boat, entertain and escape whenever life calls for it.
