Fresh air, plantation shutters and wide steps lure you to the entry of this 3-bedroom coastal residence, on the fringe of Coast Road and Sandpiper Beach. Fully-fenced and totally private behind a crepe-myrtle hedgerow, this charming 1980s home boasts pure elegance, nestled amongst other quality homes in this sought-after pocket of the island. A welcoming covered timber-deck leads to a massive front-door, which immediately fills you with intrigue. Behind it, a wonderful vestibule or home-office, framed with rich plantation shutters, reveals a taste of what’s to come. The original double-glass-doors flank the threshold of the open-plan lounge and dining space, flooded with natural light. Filtered water views to the West, promise a wisp of cool air and hint at the foreshore, which straddles the nearby, sandy coastline. Timber floorboards, air-con and lots of windows make the living space bright and cheery, like that feeling of ‘being on holidays’. A dining alcove overlooks the side-deck and the spacious lounge opens to a hallway flowing to the bedroom and bathroom wing. The kitchen is tucked discretely behind an angled wall and a secure back-door spills onto a full-length covered deck; perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner, as you enjoy the outdoors and scenic views. Surprisingly, there’s plenty of storage in this compact kitchen, with an abundance of cream cabinetry, granite-look benchtops, a double-fridge space and open shelving, all embracing the timber floors. Plus, there’s a Dishlex dishwasher, Simpson upright cooker and the kitchen sink takes the best position, admiring the views. The three large bedrooms, all with double-sets of windows, leafy outlooks and timber floors, are located at the end of the hall. One has air-con and another has open built-ins. The bathroom has a huge vanity and tiled floors with a shower over the bath and a single glass screen. A separate toilet with louvre windows provides a sanctuary for the busy household. Taking the back steps off the kitchen deck, you’ll find: • Paths connecting all access points • Cement pad for outdoor furniture • Garden beds & veggie patch • Workshop & tool shed • Laundry with drying area & extra shower • Outdoor clothesline • Lockable garage with power • Pad for boat or caravan • Under-house storage (dry & clean) • Bore water & solar panels • Space for a pool The large concreted area under the house could easily be converted to a granny flat (subject to council approval). It already has windows and a lockable door, hosting the existing laundry, an extra shower, plus a huge workshop and further storage with shelf-racking. This 1012m2 block has established gardens front and back, adding a blanket of green and instant privacy while enjoying the outdoors or entertaining. Imagine the wonderful events and summer parties you could have in this backyard, under the cool palms and swaying bamboo, with festoon lanterns and moonlight overhead. Just magic! Environmentally friendly, this property offers the added bonus of bore water for the gardens (reducing water-rate usage); solar panels to eliminate power bills; and cyclone-shutters to closeup and protect the house in the event of adverse weather. 29 Wharf Street is in a perfect location on Macleay Island, with arts and sporting clubs on your doorstep; beaches so close you can smell the sea; walking distance to Emerald Isle shops; and it’s all neatly packaged and ready for you to start living the good life. If you’re thinking of making a sea-change, or already an SMBI resident wanting to upgrade to coastal living, call Chris McGregor on 0420 555 997, for your private inspection. It’s time to get the sand between your toes! Rental Estimate $440 - $460 per week
