Brick and Tile solid construction that was built around 1967 and remained with the original owners until recently; it has history, charm and a huge amount of potential for the right buyer to put their own creative touch on it.

The front balcony is North Facing and drenched in warm sunshine with mountain views beyond your neighbours' homes. As you are welcomed into the formal entrance you feel that excitement build as you start to explore the gracious layout of the home with its high ceilings, enchanting timber windows, chandeliers, Tallowood floors and spacious living room.

You know you are in for a treat when you gaze upon the large glass wall made up of windows and sliding doors leading you out to a Southeast Corinthian styled balcony. The views from this spacious entertaining area are delightful, the golf course, distant ocean glimpse over the trees or perhaps the parkland reserve directly at your back gate. You will never tire of entertaining or bird watching from this elevated position.

Now for those creative cooks, you have a spacious and well-designed 60's style vintage kitchen which is extremely well equipped with a Bosch dishwasher, Electric stove and wall mounted electric oven. Not to mention a massive walk-in pantry.

Now for the four bedrooms upstairs, let's start with the master suite privately situated at one end of the home with its own East facing sunroom with views of the inground pool, nature reserve and the golf course across the road. This room is much larger than you would find in some modern homes and the real treat is that you have a vintage ensuite with shower and vanity. A wall of wardrobes and storage space always comes in handy.

The main bathroom with shower over bath and separate toilet is located at one end of a very long hallway which is well positioned between the entertaining areas and the bedrooms.
The three remaining bedrooms on this floor are all well-proportioned with an abundance of built-in robes. Yes, the wallpaper is still intact and if you are into Vintage decor, you are really going to love these designs. If not, then a fresh coat of paint throughout will bring it into a modern era; the choice is yours.

Let's pop downstairs (14 stairs in total) and we embark on a new journey of discovery. On this lower level you will find a larger than normal Double lock up garage with remote access. To the side of the garage in its own room is a tool collectors paradise featuring a workspace and storeroom with built in shelves that will house all of your tools of trade. Plus, the bonus of easy access to under house additional storage.

The laundry is oversized, functional and could be used for many other purposes it features a vanity on one wall and just to the side of the laundry is a third bathroom with separate toilet room and shower recess. Did I mention the laundry chute that makes transporting your dirty clothes from upstairs to the laundry much easier.

At the back of the garage there are two doors leading out to what can only be described as a Mediterranean holiday villa vibe undercover entertaining area. Equipped with its own wet bar and large white archways which is classical Architecture and framing the views towards the In-ground swimming pool, you honestly would think you were on holiday in Europe.

Now the bonus here is the extremely large independent lockable room adjoining this stunning space. What would you use this room for? Perhaps a fifth bedroom, guest accommodation, a home office or even a studio of sorts. Perhaps a rental option could be considered. The choice is yours yet again and only limited by your own imagination.

Now we know it's winter, but Summer is long, hot, and humid on the Coffs Coast and what better way to spend summer than in your own large in-ground pool. By the way, there is an outdoor shower in case you come in from a surf at one of our nearby beaches or perhaps you want to start up the built in BBQ and invite your family and friends over for a pool party. Your house will be the hive of entertainment all year round or if you like the quiet life - then don't send out the invites and keep it all to yourself.
