For windier days, a sheltered rear courtyard provides a tranquil retreat. Practicality matches beauty here. Built with low-maintenance Palliside weatherboard, the home is eco-smart, featuring solar panels that feed back into the grid, resulting in an average power bill of just approx. $17/month. Vehicles and toys are well catered for with both a single and a double garage, plus ample off-street parking. Key Features: Water Access: Walkway through the neighbouring reserve leads directly to the beach; 2-tonne mooring available by negotiation. Gardens: Mature fruit trees and established native bush.
