This beautifully presented West Shelly beach house at Orford on a 791 sqm level allotment offers low maintenance and good times with family and friends, in this popular coastal setting - just in time for Christmas! Commissioned in 2013 by the vendors, this scarcely 6 year old NBN connected property offers 3 double bedrooms plus a sunny galley kitchen with generous dining and living areas, opening onto a large sundeck. The large bathroom with hide away laundry and separate toilet facilities are immaculate, as is the recently added barbeque and spa alcove in a sheltered spot behind the residence. Fully insulated, the home is heated by your choice of a Daikin air conditioner or a cosy combustion wood heater. A free-standing lock up boat shed with roller doors and power connected also serves as a games room and extra storage for all those recreational toys. Good quality fencing on all sides will keep small children and pets secure and the large front yard is perfect for serious summer cricket matches. A 10,000 litre water tank has been installed to catch rainwater for automatic irrigating of the gardens or boat washing during summer months. All of this is within 5 minutes' walk of West and East Shelly Beaches for a regular swim plus access to the local boat ramp to get launched and away for a catch of fresh coastal flathead from the Mercury Passage before lunch. With time on your hands, the terrific seaside nature walk stretching from the Prosser River along West and East Shelly Beaches to the rolling surf of Spring Beach to the south is a 'must do', as it is alive with the sounds of the sea and native bird life. A daily spirited bike ride to the Orford Shopping Centre will provide a healthy lifestyle with plenty of regular exercise to work off holiday largesse and keep the family pet well exercised. The Orford/Spring Beach precinct is popular with cyclists and well equipped with community support infrastructure including supermarkets, medical services, cafes, a pharmacy, library, golf, bowls and boating clubs - all this just one hour by car from the city of Hobart. What are you waiting for!
