With an appreciation of beautiful cottage architecture, the owners of this original golden oldie were determined to embrace and retain, the very best of this property's stunning cottage looks and it's old world charm.

At the same time, they wanted to step away from the typical heavy maintenance associated with traditional cottage living, and take advantage of more innovative products available today.

They wanted beautiful, but wonderfully functional fixtures and fittings, that would not only look spectacular, but make life as easy as possible, as they headed into their twilight years and traveled extensively.

Embracing solar passive living and features we've not seen before, the finished product is this wonderful blend of iconic cottage elements, combined with modern materials and products, that sit comfortably within the context of an older Lakeside cottage, the result it outstanding and it's easy to understand why it was an award winner for housing excellence.

This is not the biggest house, it's not the grandest house, it's actually so much more.

This is truly a home, a home that's incredibly inviting, wonderfully welcoming, refreshingly renovated, and oh just oh so enjoyable to live in and visit.

To be honest we can't imagine how these owners can possibly bear to leave it, and their kids and grandkids are not impressed.

They've watched the parents/grandkids masterfully create something truly special, they've seen something good evolve into something extraordinary.

Purposely designed around creating a magic space to retreat to, a mini, easy care oasis in an idyllic location.

With room for a boat, 4 wheel drive and much more in the garage plus a dedicated carport tucked away at the rear for a motorhome or caravan, it's the perfect setup for retiree traveling nomads.

Strolling distance to The Lake, The Channel, cafes, restaurants, clubs, hotels, supermarkets and every manner of shops and services, the kids and grandkids never imagined Mum and Dad/Nan and Pop would ever move on from here.

Set up with the perfect plunge pool, that looks after itself, stunning all weather outdoor living, with a to die for big kitchen, flowing out to open plan living, with spacious bedrooms at either end of the home, and not 1 but 2 new bathrooms, no one could imagine a better home for them to be in or a better location.

Just when our owners should be kicking back and enjoying all the fruits of their labor and being rewarded for all the time and effort they put into planning their perfect empty nester, forever lifestyle home, instead they've discovered a much more challenging proposition up The Coast, and gluttons for punishment they're going to roll up their sleeves and take on a project that would terrify most of us!

So if you've been searching for the perfect downsize, where quality, ingenuity and convenience are at the forefront of your mind, where maintenance is a dirty word and lifestyle is big in the agenda, this property is going to knock your socks off …
