Some properties are about the house. Others are about the opportunity. This one is about both. After 55 years in the same hands, this much loved 1950s weatherboard home is being offered for the first time in five decades - presenting a rare opportunity to secure a generous piece of land in a truly special coastal setting.
Privately tucked against a natural rock face and surrounded by established trees, the home enjoys a wonderful north-facing position, bringing plenty of natural sunlight throughout the day. Step outside onto the wrap-around deck and you are met with a peaceful outlook towards the estuary, with the reserve and open green space creating a sense of privacy and calm that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
Inside, the home offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms, providing plenty of space for families, guests or those simply wanting room to grow. The character of the original 1950s design remains, while updated double glazing and generous outdoor living provide a comfortable foundation for everyday living.
And the lifestyle is every bit as appealing. With McCormacks Bay Community Centre and Reserve directly across the road, and the bay, estuary walking and cycling tracks and surrounding green spaces all within easy reach, this is a location made for enjoying the outdoors. Morning walks, afternoon bike rides, lazy afternoons in the sun or simply sitting back on the deck and enjoying the surroundings - it is a place where you can make the most of every day.
For the buyer with vision, there is plenty of scope to renovate and create a home that reflects your own style, while retaining the charm and character that make properties of this era so appealing.
Then there is the land. The large freehold section opens the door to possibilities well beyond the existing home. There is potential to investigate subdivision or the addition of a minor dwelling, subject to council approval, making this an opportunity that could appeal equally to those looking for a lifestyle property today or those thinking about the future.
Parking will never be an issue here either, with a large double garage and plenty of additional off-street parking providing ample room for multiple vehicles, boats, campervans, trailers and all the extras that come with an active lifestyle.
Properties with this combination of four bedrooms, two bathrooms, generous parking, land, sun, privacy, coastal lifestyle and future potential do not come along often. After being cherished for over four decades, this home is ready for its next chapter. Bring your vision, make the most of the lifestyle, and unlock the potential that has been waiting here all along.
