78 Lakeside Dr, Swansea is a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom House with 2 parking spaces and was built in 1960. The property has a land size of 447m2 and floor size of 169m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in August 2023.
An absolute feast on your eyes, the views here will have you drooling from dawn to dusk, with extreme 180 degree panoramic views from inside and out, whether you're upstairs or down.
That's what frontline property promises and delivers, but not all frontline properties are created equal.
There are some with too many trees restricting your view, there are others with too much work to do, and there are some that are just too big or too tiny, but this contemporary masterpiece is none of the above!
Just the right size, it's not so big you spend your precious time off just cleaning and working around the yard, but it's not so small, you feel you can't entertain and have family and friends visit or stay.
Perfectly set up for busy professionals and young retirees, there's plenty of room for your toys too, with terrific double garaging and plenty of off street and under cover parking for your boats, jet skis and trailers too.
There's enough backyard for young grandkids to play, where you can enjoy winter morning sun and afternoon sea-breezes, with minimal mowing, and there's even room for your chickens and extra shed storage too!
Big kids and grandkids will love the huge foreshore parkland, with stacks of room for winter footy, summer cricket and throwing the ball or stick for the puppies to fetch.
Imagine all that grass directly opposite your front door and never ever having to mow it!
Running down to the water's edge, kayaking and fishing from straight out front is a breeze!
Beautiful flat foreshore walking and cycling are almost on your doorstep too.
Meander around The Lake, to sandy tropical water swimming off the point at Swansea, with a new raised board walk, taking you, your puppies, the kids or grandkids around to Swansea Channel.
When we said lifestyle, we meant it!
It's a dream location!
Beyond the big views and amazing frontline position, overlooking the largest salt water lake in the southern hemisphere, the home itself has a fresh take on holiday house style, every day living.
It's not a boring project home, but it's also not an old fishing shack, instead it's a funky combination of character filled rustic charm, blended with architecturally inspired contemporary living.
Best of all it's a home that's nothing like anyone else's!
It has its own signature look, with a sexy and inviting exterior, that makes you want to take a look inside, but don't expect big, expect, super comfortable and wonderfully intimate living, that drinks in the BIG views.
The downlit, newly sanded and beautifully dressed, massive deck is the centre piece, super star of this home.
It is where you'll want to be morning, noon and night, no matter what the season, or what the weather.
There's so much room, you'll feel like you have an outdoor lounge, dining, kitchen and master bedroom all in one, with a so close to the water, you can almost reach out and touch it feel!
Mostly covered, with fabulous down lighting, there's a feature display fire, that sets the mood and promises a lovely backdrop to your outdoor living and entertaining.
A fantastic open section of the deck wraps around the property, with easy direct access to the kitchen, creating a fabulous barbecue setting and herb garden.
Back inside the key living areas, your lounge, dining and kitchen are wonderfully open, and all embrace the views.
Stacker doors let you spill from inside to out to extended deck living, while the cook never misses out on anything, with an ear and eye on everything, even whomever is tending to the barbecue!
Professionally sanded, matte finished timber floorboards add to the look and feel of the open living, with a fabulous fire pumping out plenty of heat in winter.
The light filled kitchen boasts a lovely blend of warmth and practicality, with an almost industrial twist thrown in, to keep things interesting and anything but boring!
Upstairs not only delivers generous open living, kitchen and office nook with fabulous water views, but it is complete with a tastefully renovated modern bathroom with rustic elements, and 3 generous bedrooms.
The master suite is complete with a juliet style balcony, the perfect spot to enjoy your morning cuppa, read the paper, and catch up on your emails in glorious morning sun, and an ideal place to unwind with a wine to summer evening sea breezes, when you want a little quiet time out.
Otherwise you'll be out on that colossal view deck enjoying fabulous sunsets and beautiful scene of blue and green all day long.
Head downstairs to another almost self contained, mini residence.
Perfect for your guests, who tend to stay a while, your elderly parents, as it's on the ground floor, or your older kids/teenagers, who are still at home, giving you and them space from one another, perfect if they're saving to move out, and for when they have their mates over.
Enjoying its own lounge room, stunning renovated bathroom with feature bath, and a completely separate shower, along with 2 bedrooms, one which is currently set up as a work from home office, you can easily combine the 2, for a big second master style bedroom downstairs
The laundry is fully kitted out and makes a perfect kitchenette, with bench space ready for a kettle, toaster and microwave.
Opening out to an easy care, lovely and private North East facing backyard, there's even terrific courtyard style outdoor living, the perfect place to gather around a fire pit, and enjoy a few ales, and spin a few yarns.
With a big shed at the rear, it's part storage and part Ritz style chicken coup, so your free range chickens can make sure there's always eggs for breakfast!
On town mains water and sewer, there's tank water for the gardens and there's also storage galore.
An absolutely ripper home, if you love views, and plenty of personality, but you're not into bling, and big wasted space, just for space sake, this is the ideal property.
We love it and we are sure you're going to love it too!
