Last Listing description (May 2026)

Positioned on a generous corner block of approx. 550.63m2 and just 30 to 50 meters from the shores of Lake Macquarie, this charming three-bedroom, single-level weatherboard home offers a lifestyle that is as rare as it is inviting. Opportunities like this-where water views, location, and potential combine-do not come along often.

From multiple points inside the home, you'll enjoy uninterrupted lake views, while cool breezes flow throughout when the house is opened up. Imagine mornings spent watching black swans glide by or boats sailing past, all from the comfort of your front porch. For lovers of the water, this home is a dream come true, with swimming, sailing, fishing, kite surfing, windsurfing, and more practically at your doorstep.

Inside, high ceilings and abundant natural light enhance the spacious feel of the home. Ceiling fans in the living, kitchen, and two bedrooms, together with a reverse-cycle air-conditioner in the main living area, ensure year-round comfort. The three bedrooms are well-proportioned, with one privately positioned at the rear of the home-ideal as a teenager's retreat or private guest space.

The bathroom is centrally located and designed with practicality in mind, offering both a bathtub and shower. The shower includes a four-setting hand shower, cleverly concealed behind the bathroom door for a neat and private finish.

The separate laundry adds extra functionality and can easily double as a hobby room or quiet home office. Outdoors, the property shines with manicured gardens carefully maintained by the previous owner.

There is also ample room on the block to build a granny flat or even consider expanding with a second storey to capture even more of the lake's beauty. This is a property full of potential, appealing to first home buyers, investors, and families alike.

The location is second to none-just approx. 1.6km to Swansea RSL, approx. 2km to Swansea CBD, approx. 8km to Belmont CBD, and only approx. 1.2km to the local Swansea boat ramp. For boating enthusiasts, there's the rare convenience of dual access points to the water-via the lake itself or through the channel, with the channel ramp located just approx. 1.6km away.

A quiet street, stunning lake outlook, and endless potential make this a standout opportunity not to be missed.
