This large home was designed and built with tropical living in mind – with wrap-around covered verandahs and excellent cross-ventilation provided by a central breezeway and superb use of stylish wooden louvres, fully screened and angled for the prevailing breeze.
Situated on a 1195m2 corner block, the home is surrounded by irrigated tropical gardens, fruit trees and is well screened for privacy. The property is immaculately maintained and a pebblecrete driveway leads to a 9x6m shed with 2 lock-up areas. A separate carport and hardstand provides further parking for a boat or caravan.
The home is 300m2 under roof (approx) with just over half of this being the verandahs which can be accessed from a number of rooms including the living area and two of the bedrooms. Whilst the open-plan living area is very spacious and light with soaring timber ceilings, the current owners find themselves spending a lot of time on the verandah whatever the weather, whether quietly reading a book or entertaining friends.
The kitchen is ideal for cooking for any number of people with lots of bench and cupboard space, gas cooktop, corner pantry and dishwasher and the chef can be part of the action whether it’s inside or out due to the clever design.
The air-conditioned master bedroom is spacious and features high cathedral ceilings as does the whole house. Opening onto the verandah through french doors, it also offers a walk-through wardrobe and handy ensuite bathroom.
Two further bedrooms both have built-in-wardrobes and are generous in size with banks of louvres which bring in the light and cool breezes.The main bathroom is large with a corner spa bath, separate shower and handy laundry area.
Amongst the gardens is an inground spa, perfect for cooling off on those hot summer days or its about a ten minute walk to the sandy Nelly Bay beach and shops.
The home handyman (or woman!) will love the shed which has plenty of room for tools, storage and work area.
This immaculate home deserves an inspection and you won’t be disappointed if you appreciate quality workmanship and are looking for the elusive property with absolutely nothing to do but move in and relax.
