You can see The Lake as you pull up to the property, and it's a tiny flat stroll to the start of the foreshore path that kicks off on The Lake edge.

Promising terrific side access to a generous double garage, it's easy to park your boat, caravan and cars off street, with a generous shed or lawn locker behind the garage for your mower etc, leaving your garage tidy and free for your toys, like your tinnie and jet skis.

Sun-drenched in winter all day long, I didn't want to leave this photo-shoot, it was just so warm and toasty in the backyard and the open living back inside.

With the perfect shade in summer, thanks to a gorgeous big mango tree, I could see my kid self climbing that tree, gorging on mangoes with my cousins, making tree houses, great swings and spending endless summers playing tea parties and cowboys and Indians in its beautiful shade.

Now I'm about to be a grandma, as my “some days” mature self ;), I can picture myself relaxing outdoors, enjoying the incredible covered outdoor living, while keeping a proud and watchful eye on a brood of grandkids at play, doing and loving all the same things I did when I was the same age.

A hot and cold outdoor shower, is perfectly positioned around the side of the home for great privacy, and it's nice and close to the back door too.

Wonderful for washing off Sandy kids, puppies and boards, after those endless days of summer swimming, boating and surfing adventures.

So not a boring big project home, or massive multi story everything shines mega mansion, the vibe here is relaxed coastal living.

Perfect for people who are more outdoors and lifestyle driven, who crave easy and breezy living, in a home that's welcoming, easy on the eyes and the hip pocket, leaving you time and cash to live the life you love, instead of being a slave to a house.
