Step off your lawn and down to the waters edge with this absolute waterfront property, located on the northern shores of Port Stephens in the charming village of Carrington.
With spectacular views of Port Stephens from almost every window youll feel like youre on a permanent holiday at this magnificent four-bedroom home, which was built in 1958 but has been stylishly renovated with a chic, modern finish.
Set at the rear of its large 2054sqm block and constructed over two levels to make the most of the waterfront aspect, the home offers a laidback lifestyle with direct access to the water for swimming, fishing and kayaking.
A tiled verandah with glass balustrade provides uninterrupted views of the bay, while triple glass stacking doors provide the perfect indoor outdoor flow to what is likely to be the most popular room in the house, the rear family room.
Oversized picture windows in the nearby master bedroom delivers the most stunning vista to wake up to every morning, with two additional bedrooms on the top level enjoying similarly stunning views across the water to Garden Island.
A fourth bedroom or study with a built-in wardrobe is located downstairs adjacent to the main, with a linen cupboard across the hall for extra storage. The main bedroom also includes a triple-door built-in wardrobe, with a lovely ensuite with luxury inclusions for added convenience.
The centrally located family bathroom has also been luxuriously renovated and features a deluxe freestanding bath, floor-to-ceiling tiles and a large frameless shower with tiled shelf cavity and both waterfall and detachable shower heads.
Designed for large families who love to entertain, the lower level of the home offers an enormous amount of living area, including a grand combined formal lounge and dining room with water views to the side.
Decorative cornices, intricate ceiling roses and period-style archways add character to this lovely space, which has been beautifully preserved throughout the renovation process.
Across the hall, an open plan kitchen and dining room provides a relaxed and inviting area for the family to gather together for a casual meal.
A dark granite-look laminate benchtop, sleek glass splashback and white overhead and underbench cabinetry provide a clean, contemporary look for the kitchen, with ample preparation and storage space as well as a breakfast bar.
A wall of windows allows plenty of natural light into the large, open plan space while also framing a view of the lush, tropical garden surrounding the stand-alone cabana and concrete in-ground pool.
Made for entertaining, the cabana features a built-in bench, stainless steel sink and cabinetry for the perfect pool-side party, while a separate shower and toilet are practical additions to the space.
The propertys long list of external features also includes storage under the rear deck, which is perfect for canoes or kayaks, as well as a single car garage and potting room, with adjoining two car concrete hardstand. An additional 12m x 6m shed located towards the front of the block provides added storage, with a covered 6m x 3.5m x 3.4m carport high enough to accommodate a large boat or motorhome.
Offering everything you need for a relaxed, resort-style life, with a prime position for those who enjoy water sports and activities, this magnificent property ticks all the boxes for the ultimate sea-change escape.
The twin seaside towns of Hawks Nest and Tea Gardens are just a 15-minute drive, providing all your essentials, while 20 minutes to Newcastle Airport will put a host of domestic destinations including Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide a direct flight away.
