If you've been waiting for a property that can genuinely change the way you live, and the way you earn, this is it. It's is one of those rare Marks Point opportunities where you don't have to choose between a relaxed, walk-to-the-water lifestyle and a smart financial play, because it gives you both. Two completely separate dwellings, two separate access points, two different ways to live, host, rent or invest, all wrapped up in a location where mornings start with a coffee run, afternoons end at the water's edge, and the weeks feel lighter simply because everything is close.

This is a true dual-living setup, with a refreshed three-bedroom cottage at the front and a near-new two-storey secondary dwelling at the rear, each with its own access, its own outdoor space, and the kind of separation that makes living in one while renting the other feel natural and without compromise. The front home offers three bedrooms, two living zones, an updated kitchen and bathroom, and generous covered parking, while the rear dwelling is impressively sized with open-plan living upstairs flowing to a deck, two bedrooms on the upper level, plus a huge lower-level multipurpose room that can be a third bedroom or a second living zone, supported by an extra bathroom, laundry and a lock-up garage.

Opening out to gorgeous parkland and grounds, forget endless weekends of mowing and maintenance, and instead stroll across the incredibly quiet street and let the grandkids play under your watchful eye. For the weekender buyer, it's an easy stroll to Naru Beach's spectacular white sand and turquoise-and-aquamarine still-water shoreline, with cafés, the post office, the marina and day-to-day amenities all within easy reach. Belmont Golf Course, Marks Point Bowling Club and Papatya Café add even more options close by, whether you're chasing a casual lunch, a relaxed dinner, or somewhere to meet friends without planning your whole day around it. For families, it's an easy walk to the local primary school, with transport access to Belmont and Newcastle public schools, selective options, and a host of private and denominational choices as well. One of Lake Macquarie's most up-and-coming lifestyle suburbs, Marks Point is surrounded by magic waterways, offering sandy lake and channel experiences in one direction, deeper boating waters in another, and Nine Mile Beach only minutes away, stretching from Blacksmiths to Redhead.

Here's What You'll Love:

* The near-new two-storey secondary dwelling is designed like a true home, not a compromise, with modern proportions and real separation from the front residence.

* Upstairs delivers light-filled open-plan living, dining and kitchen spaces that flow seamlessly outdoors to an elevated deck for year-round entertaining.

* Two upstairs bedrooms sit close to the main living zone, serviced by a central bathroom, creating an easy everyday layout that feels intuitive.

* A generous upper porch/deck area expands the living footprint and gives you that elevated coastal-home feel you rarely see in secondary accommodation.

* The lower level adds exceptional flexibility with an oversized multipurpose room that works perfectly as a third bedroom, guest retreat or second living space.

* A second bathroom downstairs means guests, tenants or extended family can live independently without constantly sharing facilities upstairs.
