This solid brick home sits on a large 1012 sq m block with forest on 2 sides and just one neighbour. It offers 3 bedrooms, one bathroom, 2 toilets and an open plan living/dining/kitchen. The renovations were completed about 12 months ago, including a lovely large deck (6 x 5m) and new bathroom. Downstairs, there is a double garage plus a fantastic (5.4 x 5.4) workshop area complete with power and lights.

Since the new highway was opened some years ago, the Old Pacific Highway has become more and more popular as a delightfully quiet coastal hideaway. This home is the last in a small row of four, all enjoying forest at their rear boundary. This home was built in the mighty era of hardwood frames, brick and tile – and, believe me, they were built for maximum life and minimum maintenance.

As you enter across the covered verandah, you will step onto beautiful polished timber floors in the open plan living/dining/kitchen area. The kitchen offers good cupboard and bench space, large 5-burner gas cook top and electric oven, dishwasher and double sink with views to the forest at the back boundary that is filled with birdlife.

The living area (5.4 x 3.6) offers plenty of space, the dining area (4.8 x 2.4) will handle most dining settings and there is a great little reading nook as well.

All the bedrooms are carpeted, all have built-in robes and the main bedroom has plenty of space (6 x 3.6m) and direct access to the covered back deck. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are both 3.6 x 3.6m and are located at the opposite end of the house to the main bedroom.

The renovated bathroom offers a separate spa bath and separate double shower, together with a vanity and dual-flush toilet, whilst through the laundry you will find another, separate dual-flush toilet.

Downstairs, the double garage and workshop are a dream come true for many, with power, lights, shelves and benches – many an hour has been spent in worry-free work.

Outside, there is a constant array of birds with lorikeets feeding beside me now, as I write, after the kookaburras had their turn a short while ago. You’ll find lemon, mandarin, orange, mango, avocado and coffee trees as well as passionfruit vine and lots of surrounding native forest.

The beauty of this property is the minimum maintenance and maximum enjoyment. Brick and tile are the lowest possible maintenance for a home and although you feel like you are on acres, you’ve only got a quarter of an acre to look after. With all the renovations done, now is the time for you to move in.
