TIghtly held for over 25 years, this custom built home stands proudly with a sensational outlook across the 1770 estuary and sandbar to the Bustard Head Bay and Headland in the distance. This property offers without question some of the most breathtaking views available on the 1770 headland, privately set back from the road along the exclusive Parkinson Street, on on an elevated yet easily accessible private gated lot. The location is unbeatable in this area, across the road from the beach & estuary and only a few minutes stroll to the marina, 1770 Tree Hotel, 1770 Beachfront Caravan Park, and you'll witness some of the most breathtaking sunsets in the country!
Once you open the private electric gate, you'll be greeted by a very large level parking area, with room for numerous cars, boats (owner parked a 26fft yacht in here!) and all the toys you need to store at home - which is a very unique attribute for homes in 1770! The main garage entrance is 3.8m high and 4.5m wide, offering ample room for a van or large vehicle. A large undercover boat parking area is also set just back from the entrance gate. On the ground floor entering from the garage, a large workshop has been built with a private toilet, along with a very spacious pool / entertainment room, which has a bar, and private loft area. Rising up thhe internal stairs, which offer great natural lighting with large circular porthole windows, the home then opens onto the main level where there is a generous sized living room, open plan dining area and kitchen, which look out to the blue vista of the 1770 estuary across a massive entertaining balcony. This balcony has had a custom sail handcrafted and installed to provide shade and weather protection, whilst not hindering the amazing views. At the far end of this level is another bedroom, bathroom, laundry and private balcony, whilst a small step down out the back door opens up the spacious levelled paved backyard area, which is a great place to relax out of the sun, grow some veggies, or retreat into your own private wilderness as the property backs onto the National Park. Rising up to the third level, there is another living room, which also provides access to the main bedroom and ensuite, complete with its own balcony and equally amazing estuary views, a 3rd and 4th bedroom (also with a balcony!) and another large verandah out the back of the home, provides yet another undercover outdoor entertaining area! The house has been very well thought out in that even though it is over 20 years old, many of the design features of high raked ceilings, open plan living, ample outdoor living spaces and great natural air flow throughout will ensure it will be a very functional home for its new owners. The property has ample water supply with its own bore & rainwater tank storage of approx 70,000 litres along with a 3kw solar system so you really are practically self sufficient!
