Last Listing description (September 2024)

With our 2 bedroom, maybe 100 year old house very recently sold for $1.3M at 2 Macquarie Street, Swansea, and our much more tired, similar age, similar style, but less fresh or well presented brick veneer home, on a smaller block sold for $1.35M at 3a Rawson Street, this fabulous open plan, plentiful living and bedrooms home represents bargain buying!

Offering so much more for your money, this unbelievably affordable, super spacious, wonderfully single home boasts the perfect North facing backyard, with cool summer afternoon sea breezes and fantastic warm winter sun.

The setting is ridiculously quiet, with no one driving down this street unless they live here, they are visiting, or they are lost!

With The Channel just a couple of minutes walk from home, it's an easy flat stroll away perfect place for early morning walks with your partner, your fur baby, your baby and pram, or all 3!

Super sunset strolls along The Lake are likewise just a couple of minutes flat stroll from home, with fabulous white sandy bottom swimming, in beautiful turquoise crystal clear water, at what has affectionately become known as Swansea Beach, the old Coon Island, also strolling or cycling distance away.

So bring your togs, your kayak and stand up paddle board and enjoy life almost on the water, with fantastic boat ramps also just moments away.

A true lifestyle paradise, whether you're a family wanting to raise your kids in a safe, friendly, positive environment, with an emphasis on enjoying the great outdoors, and access to terrific schools.

Or you're looking more towards retirement, and wanting an escape from the hustle and bustle, where there's all the lifestyle features you love, like boating, fishing, great surfing beaches, golf, bowls, woodworking and a magic local library, with shops, cafes, pubs and clubs, as well as doctors, dentists and hospitals nearby for down the track, so you never need to move again, all on the flat, within an hour of Hornsby and half an hour to Newcastle!

The location is amazing, but not all Swansea homes are created equal, or offer the space and youth this one does.

One of the younger kids on the block, it was built to offer generous, but easy care single level living, with a terrific breezy and sunny backyard, big enough for grandkids and puppies to play, but small enough not to tie up your weekends, mowing and maintaining it.

The obligatory big back deck was designed to be big enough for fantastic everyday outdoor lounging, dining and entertaining, like the backyard, it enjoys the perfect North East aspect, with cool summer sea breezes and warm winter sun.

For those hot humid days that seem to have landed on us lately, the ducted and zoned air conditioning is a blessing, keeping everyone and everything lovely and dry and super comfortable inside.

There is no way you could buy a knock down or a block of land in as good a location as this, and build this size home again, for anywhere near as low a price as our owners are looking for.

If you want that lake house look, we have given you an example of how easy it would be to clad the facade and go for a new home, new look at minimal expense, we even have the tradies on tap, who have done it for us before, and we have the proof of what a value add this has made when it's come time to re-sell!

With so much space on offer, and with no load bearing walls, you can knock out whatever you like and open up the interior even more, at minimal expense.

Or spend absolutely nothing and live very happily in the home exactly as it is now, and be super comfortable.

Having been meticulously maintained and lovingly looked after, the property presents amazingly well both inside and out.

If you know Swansea North and you like a lovely quiet location, you will appreciate the huge desirability of this property, positioned smack bang between The Lake and The Channel, but not open on both ends to cars, so traffic is virtually non existent.

Not being a thoroughfare between the Lake and The Channel, means it will always be super quiet and really safe here.

With all the must haves, you can expect an ensuite, with the master suite, set well away from
the other bedrooms and bathrooms, with multiple spacious living and office options, and internally accessed, auto double garaging, no steps and a strong flow and connection from the house to the backyard.

With 5 bedrooms and a study, adult kids and grandkids will all fit, or you and your other half can both have your own dedicated offices, sewing/craft room, memorabilia room, without crowding your living areas!

Whilst the kitchen, ensuite and main bathroom all present really well now, the opportunity to really trick them up is an exciting option.

We can see a massive butler's pantry, a stack of drawers, extra cupboards and a beautiful island bench sliding into the huge kitchen space, totally transforming the home from lovely, to out of this world.

Long term, the study could stay and you could lose a bedroom out the back to further open up the living to the deck and backyard, still finishing up with 4 great bedrooms, and even more gutsy open plan living and phenomenal walk in and built in storage.

Knowing the cost of taking walls away, is nothing by comparison to the cost of trying to extend and renovate an old house, or knocking down and building new in today's out of control materials and labour cost days, this is brilliant buying for the savvy family, retiree, or house flipper!

Not having to build up and waste $50,000 to a $100,000 on foundations is a massive bonus, suiting anyone, with older live in or visiting parents, young kids or visiting grandkids.

If you don't want stairs inside and you want as few as possible stairs to outside, to your backyard or the street, this is the one!

Delivering a really well proportioned home, expect lots of privacy inside and out, with big living, both front and back, with a dedicated bedrooms and bathroom wing out the back, and a lovely set away master suite out the front.

Features include:

- Ducted air throughout the entirety of the home

- Ceiling fans in the master, guest bedroom & rear living

- Plantation shutters star in the light filled master suite

- Expect a well maintained ensuite & big walk in robe

- With built in robes in the other 4 rear wing bedrooms

Set within easy strolling distance of The Channel, with its fantastic flat walk and cycle way, running along the water's edge.

Stretching on to the newly extended board walk that wraps around to the golden sand, and beautiful tranquil aqua water at lovely Coon Island.

You won't find a nicer spot to cool down and enjoy a dip.

Head the other way along The Channel for dinner at the RSL or to grab your morning coffee at Double Shot or Tides Cafes, and race in and grab your paper, milk and bread at Woolies when you're done.

Even closer to home, enjoy lunch, dinner and refreshments at the fully renovated lovely workers club with its 2 lawn bowls greens.

At the other end of the street wander down to The Lake and grab a feed of fish or prawns from the co op or better still go for a fish and catch some yourself.

Surrounded by water there's 3 terrific boat ramps, 2 on The Channel and 1 on The Lake, perfect to launch your tinnie jet ski or bow rider within a couple of minutes of home.

Put your kayak in wherever and whenever you like, and ride your bike on the flat for through to Pelican, Marks Point and Blacksmiths or over to Caves Beach.

A lifestyle paradise, there truly is something very special about life here in beautiful and relaxed Swansea North.
