Macleay Island QLD 4184

Stepping beyond the French doors, cathedral ceilingsand glass bombard you, competing with the fishbowl-stage playing out before your eyeswide blue skies, boats, ferries, birds and wildlife dance on the waterall part of the living landscape on Southern Moreton Bay.

A crisp modern kitchen with sand-speckled Caesarstone benchtops, stretch across the massive preparation zone with: dishwasher; space for under-bench washing machine; induction cooktop; and electric wall oven with room for microwave above.Theres an appliance-centre to keep the toaster and kettle out of sight, plenty of wide self-closing drawers, a large pantry and a lazy-Susan for maximum accessibility in each corner cupboard.

A servery from the kitchen connects the outdoor screened-living with a BBQ area and kitchenette. Theres room for a daybed, dining and entertaining, while the plantation shutters provide shade-control and romance.

Sun-bleached blonde, vinyl timber-look floors throughout, combined with raked ceilings and exposed beams, all add an air of beachside freshness to the bright white open-plan living, with a cosy fireplace for cooler winter evenings.

Set your telescope up and watch life sail by, or enjoy a lazy brunch from the breakfast bar with grandstand views. With glass everywhere, dont be fooled its a hot house, as a Sungrow solar system provides air-con comfort all day.

Tucked behind the living zone is a study nook with built-in storage. Its the link between the bedrooms and main bathroom with its feature freestanding-bath, shower and toilet. The stone terrazzo floors match the bespoke, organic hand-basin and quality tapware is used to complement the natural feel.

Master bedroom boasts full-width built-ins, ceiling fan, tv outlet, classy ensuite (with same stone floors as main bathroom) and viewing deck with water cameos. A spacious second bedroom with built-ins and ceiling fan is adjacent to the main bathroom.Offering direct access to the secure deck, its a handy option for shift-workers or independent teenagers.

Outside, two landscaped pathways with generous, reinforced gravel steps, trace an easy stroll to the waterfront. A love-seat, positioned for the perfect sunset awaits and an entertaining pavilion floats above. Hardwood steps lead right into the sea to board your dinghy, or directly onto your sandy beach at low-tide to enjoy the sunshine.

Looking back at the house, a combination of rainforest, native and fruit trees lend a lush and tropical feel.A ficus hedge fringes the fence-line with an integrated veggie-patch and bird feeder, as you climb the well-paced steps back to the house.

From the street, a perfect lawn with manicured gardens, peek behind the white-washed inviting fence. Louvre screens add a change-room touch and conceal the hot water and septic, while a long concrete drive provides off-street parking for 2 cars, boat and trailer. An outdoor laundry/shed for the handyman or serious gardener keeps everything organised and the rubbish bins and drying area remain out of sight, behind a side-gate.

With nothing left to do but enjoy the island lifestyle, this home is ready for a new family or couple to breathe life into her sails and live carefree on the high seas.
