A welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of life within a tranquil and peaceful bush surrounding. You'll feel the immediate sense of serenity and be captivated by the restful bush setting, and northerly sea views of the Gulf. Our vendors are committed to moving, and are reluctantly leaving their beloved three-level 4-bedroom home; with a 440m2 floor area and located on a large 2,360 m2 site; in the highly sought after Macleans College zone. It has provided an idyllic lifestyle for a growing family; enabled entertaining with family and friends; while providing quality education and close proximity to Howick Village, Sports Clubs, and local beaches. Built of brick/cedar weatherboard exterior and a concrete tile roof, this well-maintained home has served the family very well. Space and comfort capture the essence of a relaxed and peaceful lifestyle; which were two of the many benefits that won the vendors' hearts when they purchased this beautiful home. Efficient use of space is evident. The effortless flow between the indoor and outdoor areas enhances the space and makes for easy living and entertaining. The heart of this home is the spacious open plan designer kitchen/dining/family space that leads to the wrap-around spacious deck; which offers access to the main lounge; and extensive bush and sea views. The study/office has its own entrance which offers an ideal solution for working from home; as well as offering perfect study space for school and university students. The living room flows into the main lounge and provides an ideal space for relaxing or watching your favourite movies. On this entrance level is a powder room; the internal accessed garage for two vehicles; and a generous storage room. The property also provides ample off-street parking for the boat, trailer, campervan and up to 8 cars. The entire upper level is cleverly designed with the master bedroom, ensuite and walk-in wardrobe; a separate toilet, family bathroom and queen-size bedroom (perfect as a nursery for the young family). The private deck off the master bedroom provides a space to relax and enjoy the wide views; while watching the kids and their friends swimming in the pool below. An internal staircase, from the entrance level, leads to two queen bedrooms; which open onto the lower deck and swimming pool. A bathroom, powder room and laundry are also on this level. The relaxed outdoor environment, around the large swimming pool, is perfect for entertaining and social occasions. It's not surprising your guests won't want to leave. Surrounded by established shrubs and mature natives, you will enjoy the privacy here and feel that you are on a holiday every day. The lower level presents a huge rumpus room; which overlooks the pool and provides endless opportunities for accommodation, a media room, pool or table tennis. Its separate entrance also provides an independent living area that can easily benefit the teenagers and occasional guests. This wonderful home is close to Howick Village with its excellent range of shops, cafes, bars and community amenities; and an easy 10 to 15 minutes' walk takes you to attractive local beaches. The opportunity is here to live in a family home with extensive living options. Could there be a more desirable home in the sought-after location? Come and experience for yourself a house you will be happy to call home.
