The dense mature trees and shrubs surrounding this yesterday’s cottage located down by the golf course indicates the age of the home that was probably built here in the 1950’s. It presently has some Gold Coast & Ocean views that could be made bigger and better with just some judicious pruning of the trees in your own back yard. But if you want privacy on an 814 square metre block, you could never find anything more private than this! The house is simply not visible from the street, nor can it be seen by neighbours. And it is so peaceful and quiet tucked away here in a small neighbourhood far removed from the tourist traffic.

The elevated cottage with good dry storage under at rear, has polished Redwood floors, 2 bedrooms plus study and a roomy and very light open plan living with a massive picture window looking out over the back deck into the garden. The sunny modern Tassie Oak kitchen with its pantry and unusual sink is fairly well hidden from the lounge while being handy to the dining area. The recently modernised bathroom with shower over bath has subtle feature wall tiling with matching cream tiled floor. Summer days and winter morning lead out to the front and back decks and a paved area in the rear garden surrounded by concealing foliage is just perfect for relaxation at any time. Ample heat comes from a slow combustion wood fire in the living room to warm the whole house in winter. There is also more good storage cupboards here than you would normally expect to find in a house of this vintage.

Without doubt one of this property’s greatest assets is an excellent water bore producing all the water you would ever need for all household, garden and drinking purposes. A new water tank hides in the back garden along with the good sized garden shed.

There is room to extend the house on the block and just a little further updating would really do wonders. In our opinion, the asking price for this property represents the land value along with the irreplaceable fully grown garden and the value of having a perfect permanent water supply. The house is very liveable and indeed would rent readily, but it is dated in a few respects and the owner has sensibly priced it for a quick sale.

It would make a perfect first or retirement home where the owners could slowly make their own improvements or a perfect weekend retreat for folk who want real relaxation and maybe a game of golf on their weekends away from the rat race. It can handle a couple or even a couple with one child quite comfortably, and would be the ideal haven for a writer who could not help but find inspiration in the beauty that is here.
