Last Listing description (November 2022)

In a pristine location, just a stone's throw from the centre of Forster sits this attractive weatherboard home. A single-level five-bedroom gem, it effectively combines the charms of yesteryear with delightful modern touches right across its expansive floor plan.

Sitting on a large corner block, the freshly painted faade sits behind well-maintained lawns and beds. A single-lane driveway leads to a lockup garage with a roller door, while solid fencing affords a high level of privacy to the paved courtyard out the back.

Indoors, dark timber floors offset the neutral tones perfectly, creating a homely feel accentuated by the high ceilings and abundance of natural light. There is ample room, with the dining area seamlessly flowing into the living area, which proudly boasts an exposed brick fireplace.

A galley-style kitchen services the home, coming with plenty of bench and cupboard space. There are also two bathrooms, making this ideal for families or as a holiday rental. There's also a current Development Application in place for it to be used as health consulting rooms.

With the main street of Forster nearby, you have shops, restaurants, cafes, and amenities on your doorstep. You're just a walk to the Paradise Marina too, and of course all the exquisite beaches this coastal town is famous for are within easy reach.

This easily managed, attractive home offers plenty of options in a sought-after part of town. Find out more about it from the JKL team today!
