Backing the nature reserve and within walking distance, or short easy drive from Slade Bay, the golden sands of Lamberts Beach, Ram Chandra Park and numerous scenic walking trails, this well-maintained early 1980s built high-set home with Zincalume steel roof, Colorbond fascia and gutters has had some renovations and modernisation over time by its long term owner, with the opportunity to further personalise the ground floor area to suit your needs.
Fully air-conditioned for year-round comfort, this home also features 6.6kw solar panels for lower energy costs & a large, commercial grade and council approved above-ground swimming pool to keep the kids happy and off their devices throughout the long summer holidays, on weekends and after school.
Keep your caravan, motorhome or boat securely housed in the 60m2 industrial powered 2-bay shed with extra high clearance to one bay and a built-in loft offering an extra 30m2 of storage capacity. Access to the shed when towing a larger vehicle is made easy via the wide double gate to the front of the fully fenced 780m2 block.
Work from home? You’ll love the air-conditioned, fully powered portable space, currently setup as an office with built-in computer bench, carpet and LED lighting adjacent to the shed. When you’re finished for the day, simply lock the door and wander home across the lawn (better than an office in the house where it’s harder to switch off at the end of the working day). And if you don’t need the office space this room would be great for extra storage or media/gaming zone.
An easy commute to the CBD (just 10 minutes away), local schools and employment hubs means less time in the car and more freedom to enjoy all that this beachside suburb and property have to offer.
Why we LOVE 4 Jansen Street…
- Natural bushland nature reserve backdrop. Enjoy the serenity of this privately owned land of Mackay Port Authority. The bushland reserve also creates a beautiful natural backdrop to the property to admire from the upstairs deck & the ground floor alfresco area, whether kicking back with a refreshing drink, enjoying a BBQ with the family or entertaining
- Potential for further improvement. The ground floor is a blank canvas multipurpose zone that offers so many possibilities. Already fitted with double opening enclosed garage, windows & glass doors to rear that open onto the alfresco & pool area, it would not take much to convert this space into a games room, additional living zone, entertainment area with bar, a home gym, teen retreat or whatever you wish
- Renovated kitchen & bathroom. Both the kitchen & bathroom were renovated during the current ownership. The kitchen features laminate cabinetry & benchtops in modern contemporary neutral tones, glass splashback, wide fridge space & all the mod cons in stainless finishes (including dishwasher). Off the kitchen is the dining area with a sliding glass & Crimsafe screen door leads to the upper rear deck with timber balustrades. This is a lovely spot to sit & enjoy a cuppa while admiring your peaceful natural surrounds, enjoying the cooling sea breezes & listening to the native birdcalls or keeping a watchful eye on the pool activities. The bathroom features floor to ceiling tiles, shower/bath combo with glass screen, modern laminate vanity with stone top, built-in linen closet & a separate, recently replaced toilet
- Polished timber floors flow seamlessly from the kitchen & dining area to the spacious living room & the central hallway leading to bedroom wing
- All 3 bedrooms are positioned off a hallway in a separate wing for peace & quiet (perfect for those with infants & younger children). All bedrooms are carpeted & have a ceiling fan & split system a/c (recently updated units to 2 bedrooms). The master bedroom is spacious & has twin built-in mirrored sliding robes. Bedroom 2 also has a double mirrored built-in robe while bed 3 has a freestanding robe the owners are happy to leave if you need it
- Enjoy BBQs & entertaining poolside under the shade of large sails or under the patio as you admire your natural surrounds & listen to the squeals of delight & laughter coming from the pool. The large, fully fenced yard is ideal to keep the kids & pets safe & sound & there is ample lawn area for a play gym, trampolines & endless games of backyard cricket, soccer & chasings. There’s also an existing veggie patch for seasonal home-grown produce & established garden beds that you can build on for the full tropical resort look & feel
Why we LOVE Slade Point…
- It’s easy to go car free at Slade Point where you can walk to Slade Bay with BBQ and playground facilities, or further along by car or bike is the golden sands of Lamberts Beach with picnic & BBQ in the adjoining Ram Chandra Park. Being under fantastic shady trees it’s ideal for the kids to get active & enjoy the playground facilities stretching along the beachfront. Or head south to the walking paths at Slade Point Nature Reserve. For a quick meal out & a few drinks, head to the Seabreeze Tavern, which is directly opposite Lamberts Beach
- More places for families to explore close to home. The nearby Cathy Freeman Oval is a great facility for training whether that be football, soccer, cricket, or athletics, and the boat ramp at Slade Bay makes it easy to get out on the boat & enjoy a day on the water
- Take in the elevated ocean views from the Lamberts Beach Lookout &, in the winter months, enjoy the whale watching from the viewing platform. Take in stunning sunsets while enjoying drinks & platters overlooking Slade Bay from David Cheong Park, or explore the headlands, walking trail & Jayel rock pool dotted along the coastline between Albatross Street Lookout & the Lamberts Lookout.
-When you do need to jump in the car, nothing is far away. Home is just a short drive from a wide range of retail & medical services at Slade Point Central, the local primary school is a short drive away & the nearby bus stop provides easy access to other schooling options. Best of all, it’s only a 10-minute drive to Mackay CBD!
