This delightful cottage has just been extensively renovated to a high standard and is ready for its next chapter.

North-facing, private, quiet and sheltered, with beautiful wide harbour views, this one is full of character and charm. The recent improvements include a new kitchen, new bathroom, partial double glazing, fresh interior and exterior paintwork, some new cladding, and an impressive multi-level kwila deck that creates the perfect place to sit and enjoy those excellent harbour views. Steps from the deck lead down to an enchanting, easy-care garden with established plantings and a variety of fruit trees.

Inside, you'll find two double bedrooms and a light-filled open-plan living space that flows seamlessly onto the deck and into a sunny conservatory, both enjoying superb water views. The home is bright, airy and presented in immaculate condition.

Adjacent to the house is another gem, a separate semi-self-contained studio. Complete with a bedsit, French doors opening to the garden, kitchenette, bathroom and single garage, it offers excellent flexibility. There is potential to convert the garage into additional living space if desired.

There is good under-house storage and easy access beneath the home. There's also a sheltered and partially covered BBQ area, which would also be an ideal place to have a spa.

Tucked away in a quiet no-exit street, this property is conveniently located close to the ferry and cafes. So many options here, with the rental potential of the studio, easy care as a holiday home, or a really nice place to call home and to enjoy all that this friendly and welcoming community has to offer. Vacant with immediate possession, you can be in by Christmas with a beautiful place to enjoy the summer holidays.
