Last Listing description (August 2022)

Seconds to the sand, super quiet location, none of the beach traffic & parking, 100% move in ready open living, your new beach house awaits you!

Who doesn't want to live by the beach, who wouldn't be happy being lulled to sleep by the sound of the surf and waking up every morning just seconds from the sand and nine miles of amazing beach to surf, swim, fish, walk, run and 4 wheel-drive, where for the most part, your puppy is still welcome?

This is beachside freedom, just an hour North of Hornsby, the likes of which you've probably never experienced and it's one of very few beaches left, within easy striking distance of Sydney where you and your kids can camp and fish overnight with the family dog in tow.

With so much natural beauty on tap, stunning Lake Macquarie is just a bike ride away, with beautiful Pelican foreshore and Naru Beach great options when you want a break away from the surf, but still crave sand and salt-water swimming, boating and jet skiing.

A water lover's paradise, Blacksmiths has its own boat ramp and quick access to deep sea fishing and wave jumping, with big fishing boats able to launch straight into The Channel with no need to wait for the bridge.

Granny's pool at Blacksmiths is a pram ride away and offers a great place to take the toddlers, with no waves and plenty of sand to play on.

Beyond its plentiful natural beauty attributes, day to day, the important stuff is also on tap, like great coffee, stroll from home dinner and drinks at your friendly and fully renovated local, with its amazing summer and winter outdoor dining experience.

Terrific plant-based caf, traditional pizza, fish and chips, yoga, hardware, post office, hairdresser, butcher, doctor, chemist are all just seconds from home, with Coles and Woolies just a few minutes' drive away at Swansea.

If you're not already sold on the location then you're hard to please, but how about we throw in a magnificent oceanfront golf course, recreational aviation for the dare devils and sailing all 5 minutes' drive from here!

Just 200m to a quiet sandy beach access track, you're within very easy striking distance of the Surf Club and the safety of patrolled surf, without being so close that you cop all the people, car parking and traffic.

Be on the sand in seconds, head left with the dog and walk all the way to Redhead if you're feeling energetic or turn right and take the kids or grandkids for a swim between the flags, no matter what your preference you will love living or weekending here .

- Super quiet street, great neighbours, 200m to sand, easy stroll to food & coffee
- Enjoys fantastic Nor-Easterly sea breezes in summer & sunny winter afternoons
- Dead flat, you can very easily walk, ride, skate & scoot to everywhere from here
- A wonderful palms screen lets you sit on the front verandah in complete privacy
- Enjoy your morning coffee as the sun rises over the ocean & warms your bones
- Wrap around in style & fully roofed, chase the sun or the shade, as you please
- Step inside & appreciate easy free flowing open style living off a decent kitchen
- Re-located to the rear, the open style kitchen enjoys backyard & living outlooks
- The current laundry could easily be converted to a butler's pantry if you desire
- Although the kitchen already offers a genuine pantry & lots of cupboard space
- Delight in the large front lounge room, which you can enjoy open or closed off
- Open by day, you appreciate the space, closed by night, for cosy 2 TV watching
- Freshly painted throughout & very move in ready, to live, weekend or rent out
- Be grateful for LED downlights, split system air, upgraded carpets & fan lights
- A dedicated hallway feeds to 2 generous bedrooms separated by the bathroom
- Both bedrooms boast built in robes & ceiling fans with a big linen press nearby
- A separate toilet keeps the bathroom free & is great for visitors & owners alike
- Detached from the house discover a converted teenager retreat or guest room
- Expect plentiful off-street parking & generous on the grounds storage as well
- An extensive driveway leads to a secure tandem carport & secure storage too
- The converted garage offers storage & the teenager's retreat/guest bedroom
- If you would prefer a big back shed for garaging & a workshop, there's room
- A large paved great outdoor entertaining space looks out to the private yard
- The perfect size, it's not too big or too small, quick to mow with room to play
- Bore water keeps the backyard lush, but you'll need to buy a new $450 pump

Compared to our latest nearby sales, close to patrolled surf, this property gets you into Beachside Blacksmiths at a far more affordable price point, less than 6 or 7 homes away from our recent 9 and 8 Tirril Street sales at $1.5M and $1.7M, you will appreciate the value here.

Compared to our very recent $1.65M knockdown sale at 3 Gommera Street and our almost on the highway $1.1M knockdown sale at 36 Boikon Street, this is one you can live in or rent out immediately.

Our empty nester owner is flying her beachside coup in pursuit of a little villa or townhouse, so she can work less and travel more, but saying goodbye to beachside Blackys and 34 years of fantastic memories here isn't proving easy, no one stays this long in one place unless it's pretty magic!

Don't you desire and deserve a little magic?
