By any measure this is a substantial family residence nestled into the hillside on the water’s edge in the highly desirable Derwent Avenue a stone’s throw from the tranquil waters of Geilston Bay and 2 minutes from the Lindisfarne Village. It can be six bedrooms and three bathrooms over two levels with two separate living areas or it’s a four bedroom home with a large two bedroom fully self contained flat downstairs. Your choice.

That’s what is so perfect about this home it will suit a family with children of mixed ages and have room downstairs for extended family, a teenagers’ retreat or your gran to move in with you. Or rent it out. It’s versatile and spacious.

Tucked up a stone-wall lined driveway, there is ample parking undercover in the level carport. On entering the front door you are hit with the beautiful water views and then the fantastic open plan timber lined living, dining, kitchen and family rooms seamlessly fitting together with the piece de resistance a massive deck to enjoy the stunning outlook! Even better there is a purpose built bar complete with access window to pass the drinks out to your friends on the deck. This has entertainment and party time written all over it. There are floor to ceiling windows and sliding doors to enjoy the deck and views. It faces north, so enjoys all day sun but there are two reverse cycle heat pumps upstairs and downstairs – and wall panel heating throughout. Off the laundry there is a paved landscaped secure two tiered backyard with fernery, perfect for children and pets and a sheltered barbecue area.
