The home will suit any manner of uses, be that as a stunning low maintenance coastal residence, a really spacious holiday getaway, as well as appealing to those looking for either a holiday or permanent rental property.

Built Circa 1994 of rendered double brick construction downstairs and brick veneer upstairs, the home is found on an easy care 724m2 (approx) allotment. The wide paved driveway leads you up to the garage and front door - enter the spacious downstairs living room, complete with kitchenette - the easy-care cork floor is perfect for relaxed holiday living, especially from returning from a day's fishing or at the beach. There are two bedrooms on the ground floor level, separated by the main three-way bathroom. Beautiful sea and island views can be seen from the front bedroom and living room. Given this has been a family beach house and has catered for a growing contingent of grandchildren, the garage has been converted into a games/bunk room. An easily removed stud wall has been installed behind the near new manual roller door, to create the additional living space, whilst at the same time creating a handy storeroom between the roller door and stud wall.

Move on upstairs and be prepared to have your breath taken away by the simply stunning sea and island view that unfolds in front of you. Large recently installed picture windows capture the spectacle, taking in the South Coast coastline, from Port Elliot to Victor Harbor, the Causeway with the horse drawn tram running back and forth to Granite Island, Seal Rock, Wright Island and "The Bluff" at the far end of Encounter Bay. The views are endless - sunrises are amazing, and you will never tire of talking about the moonbeam that shines across the bay on a full moon!

The upstairs living room is extremely spacious - open plan yet with just so much space, easily catering for one or two living areas, dining room and kitchen. The front balcony/deck has also been recently replaced, creating a fabulous spot for outdoor entertaining and family barbecues, and can be accessed from both the living room and master bedroom. There is a gas fire with feature stone fire surround in the living room. The kitchen features granite bench tops, with plenty of bench and cupboard space, double fan forced Technika wall ovens and new dishwasher.

The master bedroom is accessed form the living room - lie in bed and watch the waves roll in between Wright Island and "The Bluff" - there is a walk-through robe and ensuite bathroom with floor to ceiling tiles, shower, vanity and wc. The second bedroom, additional bathroom and laundry complete the upstairs floor plan. There is another brick paved patio at the back of the home, which is accessed from both the living room and balcony. The garden is easy to maintain - terraced with stone retaining walls, with lawn front and back. The back of the home has secure fencing, making it a safe place for both young children and pets. Additional features include a new split system reverse cycle air-conditioner in the upstairs living room and NBN connection.

The location is fabulous, not only for the sublime views but you're also close to the boat ramp, Whalers Restaurant, the Yilki General Store and Beach House Café. Coastal walks or runs beckon - a relaxed lifestyle is assured!

The allure of Encounter Bay is calling!
