500 Sapphire Coast Dr, Tura Beach NSW 2548

The view from the kitchen window of this four-bedroom, brick home out to the swimming pool and the gumtrees beyond, might have you thinking you're tucked away in a leafy bush block far from town. However, you're just a five-minute drive to beautiful Tura Beach or two minutes to the conveniences of the Tura Beach shopping complex.

The property's large 2.5-acre rural residential block is rare and sought-after in in this location. With two entrances, there's also subdivision potential (STCA) into two smaller lots.

Inside, this large family home has recently had an almost top-to-bottom refresh. There's new paint, carpet, lighting, window furnishings and timber flooring throughout. The kitchen is large, modern and open plan. There's a stylish waterfall benchtop breakfast bar, soft-close drawers, loads of storage, great lighting, a dishwasher and an impressive five-burner Westinghouse cooker with gas cooktop and electric oven.

The kitchen opens onto a separate dining area and a large well-lit loungeroom where there's ample space for the whole family. There's a cosy wood heater as well as ceiling fans for year-round comfort. There's also a handy study nook and lots of built-in storage for books, games and toys.

The extra-large master bedroom, that occupies one end of the house, feels like a private parents' retreat with loads of space for a king bed as well as a sitting area or study. A walk-through wardrobe with great storage space leads into a large ensuite bathroom with double vanity.

Down the hall at the other end of the house, is an extra-large bedroom with double built-in wardrobes and two more smaller bedrooms. There's a large family bathroom with separate bath and shower and a good-sized laundry that's cleverly concealed in a cupboard in the hallway.

The tree-lined entrance to this property creates privacy and makes you feel as though you're a long way from anywhere. You arrive to a circular drive which leads to a secure double brick garage with enough room for storage space and a workbench. A shady, paved verandah bordered by landscaped retaining walls, lots of low maintenance greenery and timber decking, creates an appealing front entrance to the home. Also outside, the property has its own septic tank and a 90,000L underground concrete rainwater tank.

Apart from the open space and leafy surrounds, the standout external feature of this property is the covered, paved, north-facing entertaining area. Accessed via a sliding door from the kitchen this space looks out over the large, solar-heated swimming pool to the ocean in the distance. There's ample space for a large outdoor dining table and barbecue and still plenty of room for kids to play in the sunshine. Beautiful, established leafy palms fringe the verandah and pool area and create a tropical, holiday atmosphere in this space which will be well-used year-round. There's an array of local birdlife to watch and listen to from the verandah where you can kick back, enjoy the sunshine and fresh coastal air from your very own home among the gum trees.
