Located in a beautiful position on the seafront in the tightly held western end of Franklin Parade. The beautifully presented Circa 2006 single storey home, enjoys magical ocean and island views, looking straight out towards Wright Island, with a panoramic view capturing Granite Island, Seal Rock, going all the way to The Bluff at Rosetta Head.
The home is designed to be easy care and low maintenance - being of rendered brick veneer construction with a colorbond roof. The living space is all open plan, with a modern kitchen, family living and dining room. Large picture windows fill with the sea and island views - the floors are tiled (perfect from returning home from the beach), the kitchen has Caesarstone benchtops, with plenty of bench and cupboard space, two ovens (one a microwave/convection oven), and AEG dishwasher. The kitchen opens onto the huge all-weather patio at the back of the house - this is an enormous area which provides an all year round outside entertaining space, perfect for alfresco dining and family barbecues.
The master bedroom suite is at the front of the house and enjoys those magnificent sea and island views. A large bank of glass fronted built-in robes provide plenty of hanging and drawer space and the generously proportioned ensuite comes with a spa bath, shower and vanity with stone benchtop. The second bedroom is extremely spacious, has built in robes and enjoys a lovely north facing aspect over the back garden. Bedroom three has built-in robes and has a view out towards The Bluff. The main bathroom comes with shower, wc and vanity (again with stone benchtop). A fourth bedroom/second living room completes the internal floorplan (currently used as a second living room, with a sofa bed available when extra guests come to stay), this room also opens out onto the back patio.
The drive through two car garage is located on the eastern end of the home - automatic roller doors front and rear, providing access to the back garden, with plenty of space to park your boat, should there be the need. The back garden is very low maintenance with built in putting green (artificial grass) a bountiful lime tree, all of which go to provide a nice private outlook from the back patio. The home sits on a large 904m2 (approx.) allotment with a wide 19.8m (approx.) frontage. Other features include a fully automatic watering system, ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning, security system and NBN connection.
You can kayak or stand-up paddle board from right in front of the home and there are wonderful surf breaks near-by. The boat ramp is close at hand and you will have your boat in the water in a matter of minutes! The location is the absolute winner - you can walk to the Yilki General Store for your morning coffee and paper and visit the Beach House Caf or Eat at Whalers restaurant for an evening meal. Walks and bike rides along the front don't get any better than this and for the more adventurous you can climb The Bluff, or walk around Rosetta Head to Petrel Cove and further to the Heysen Trail going along the rugged Waitpinga Cliffs. There is just so much to do from this wonderful location!
A fabulous place to call your home, or the ultimate beach house escape, also ideally suited for short term holiday rental, should that be of interest.
A beautiful home in a stunning location - what's not to like!
