16 Kennedy St, Swansea NSW 2281

Here there is a definite under current of sophistication, effortless elegance, and very obviously, years of experience in renovating to an owners' quality and standards, rather than just for looks to re-sell.

This owner has been there and done it all, from huge homes to small apartments and she's combined all of the very best features into this Lakeside sweetheart, for her own personal enjoyment.

There's that escaping the big waste of space house and backyard, and the workload associated with them, where you still have room to entertain inside and out and accommodate sleep over guests, but you can prioritise life instead of house and yard work, from heading out to catch up with friends for coffee, and outdoor adventures on the Lake kayaking, boating and fishing, or on the beach, surfing, swimming and body boarding.

Our owner hasn't skimped on anything, making sure she got her perfect ensuite and luxe bathroom, her designer stone tops, sky light lit, high end kitchen, with decks front and back, perfect for catching sun in winter and shade in summer, ideal for relaxing and entertaining on.

With only 4 homes between you and The Lake, the location is divine.

Lake Macquarie is at one end of the street and Swansea Channel at the other, but it isn't drive through to both, so traffic here is a rareity.

Come and discover a charming coastal cottage that has been completely reimagined.

A home where the location and the renovation are equally blessed.

Head one way and you're walking towards the lake.

Head the other and you're down at Swansea Channel.

Cafés, shopping, everyday services and the newly renovated Swansea Workers Club are all within an easy, flat walk too.

It is the kind of position that makes Swansea such an easy place to live.

Leave the car at home, walk to the water, grab a coffee, head into town or wander down to the club for dinner.

Yet what makes this one particularly special is what has been created behind the white picket fence, not the wooden type that needs painting, but expensive needs no care aluminium fence, with effortless remote access electric gate.

What was once a traditional Swansea cottage has been comprehensively transformed into a bright, beautifully finished home that keeps its original charm while delivering the modern layout, finishes and functionality buyers actually want today.

From the street, the weatherboard look façade, white picket fencing and front verandah give the home immediate cottage appeal.

Step inside and the transformation becomes clear.

Crisp white interiors, modern flooring, plantation shutters throughout, upgraded lighting and a beautifully consistent renovation give the home a fresh coastal feel without losing the warmth and character that makes a cottage like this so appealing.

The living room is comfortable and inviting, flowing through to the dining area and a kitchen that has become one of the real highlights of the home.

Beautiful white cabinetry, stone benchtops and generous storage are complemented by a gorgeous skylight overhead, drawing natural light deep into the space.

A wide servery window connects the kitchen directly with the outdoor entertaining area, while the breakfast bar creates an easy spot for morning coffee, casual meals or sitting with friends while you cook.

It is a renovation that hasn't just focused on how the home looks. It has genuinely improved how it lives.

Three bedrooms provide plenty of flexibility for couples, young families, downsizers or anyone wanting room for guests or a home office.

The main bedroom is particularly impressive, transformed into a genuine private suite with extensive built-in storage and its own beautifully finished ensuite.

The main bathroom continues the same level of detail, with a freestanding bath, oversized walk-in shower, floor-to-ceiling tiling and a clean, contemporary finish.

Then you reach the back of the home.

A huge covered entertaining deck stretches across the rear, creating another genuine living space and overlooking the sweet, surprisingly generous backyard.

Open the kitchen servery, fire up the barbecue and let everyone spread out.

There is plenty of level lawn for kids and pets, established gardens adding character and shade, and enough space to enjoy without creating the upkeep of an oversized property.

And if parking, a boat, trailer or extra storage matters, this property delivers here too.

An extensive carport runs almost the entire length of the home before reaching the detached lock-up garage at the rear, providing an exceptional amount of covered and secure off-street parking.

You also have valuable access down both sides of the home, making the entire property incredibly practical and easy to use.

That combination is what makes this home such a complete package.

You get the charm of an established Swansea cottage without inheriting the renovation project.

You get a proper backyard without overwhelming maintenance.

You get excellent garaging, parking and access.

And most importantly, you get to live right in the middle of the Swansea lifestyle, with the lake in one direction, the Channel in the other and almost everything you need within an easy, flat walk from home.
