Wooloweyah NSW 2464

There are homes that simply occupy a beautiful setting, and then there are homes that seem intrinsically connected to it. Set across an extraordinary 1,616m2 on the shores of Lake Wooloweyah, the residence fondly referred to as "The Lakehouse" is very much the latter - a character-filled residence of generous proportions, surrounded by greenery and looking through the treetops to some of the most picturesque scenery found anywhere in the country.Rich in warmth and personality, the home carries the craftsmanship of another era throughout. Detailed cornices and ceiling roses sit alongside beautifully executed timber detailing, while hardwood timber floors flow through the main living areas. A wood heater brings a natural focal point and welcome ambience to the living space, complemented by air conditioning in a number of rooms for year-round comfort.The scale of the upper level immediately sets this home apart. At its heart is an expansive lounge and dining area, accompanied by a second generous living room, providing wonderful flexibility for both everyday living and entertaining. Together with the kitchen and deck, these spaces take full advantage of the home's elevated position, capturing leafy outlooks through the treetops towards the waters of Lake Wooloweyah.Three bedrooms are positioned across this level, including a generous main bedroom with lake views, a walk-in robe, and ensuite. Adding another dimension to the accommodation is the second bedroom, which enjoys the luxury of its own ensuite and an adjoining private sitting area. Opening directly onto an outdoor deck, this inviting space creates an almost retreat-like environment - somewhere to enjoy a quiet morning coffee, read in the afternoon or simply step outside and appreciate the peaceful surrounds. For visiting family or guests, it offers an appealing degree of independence while remaining connected to the heart of the home.Downstairs, the home's versatility becomes even more apparent. A substantial fourth bedroom is accompanied by a rumpus room, bathroom and laundry, creating genuine separation from the accommodation above. For multigenerational families, visiting friends or those seeking a private space for extended stays, the configuration presents an enormous amount of potential.Perhaps it is no surprise that a home with this much space and flexibility has a history of welcoming guests, having previously operated as a bed and breakfast before becoming the much-loved character home enjoyed by its current owner. That history feels entirely at home here - the residence has an unmistakable sense of hospitality, with room for people to come together while still finding their own private retreat.Outside, the expansive grounds reinforce the feeling of space and escape, while an exceptionally large garage and additional carport provide outstanding room for vehicles, storage, workshop space and the equipment that naturally comes with a coastal and lakeside lifestyle.And what a lifestyle it is.With Lake Wooloweyah at your back door, fishing and kayaking can become part of everyday life rather than something reserved for weekends away. The celebrated beaches of Angourie are just minutes from home, national park walks and pristine coastline are within easy reach, and the cafs, restaurants, shops and energy of Yamba are only moments away.It is a rare combination: the character and craftsmanship of a home with history, the proportions to accommodate generations, an exceptional parcel of lakefront land and a location that places the very best of the Clarence Coast lifestyle within effortless reach.After many years of enjoyment, the owner's desire to sell is genuine. Opportunities of this scale, character and setting are difficult to replicate - and buyers with an appreciation for what 1 Wood Street offers should come prepared to make their intentions clear on auction day.
