Fancy a well-designed modern residence, spilling onto an enormous covered deck which overlooks a private beach, with views stretching from the water’s edge of Lamb Island across the bay to Karragarra? Well, this waterfront new-build has been designed with ‘forever-home’ in mind. Nothing has been spared and all fittings and trims are top class, from the black kitchen sink, to the white plantation shutters. The views are a bonus! With the main entry from the waterside, you’ll be greeted by the level lawn and expansive entertaining area, which makes total sense when you can arrive home by boat. The seldom-used side-entry from Melaleuca Drive, leads you to the open-plan living of this breezy home, flowing seamlessly to re-join the outdoors and watery views. Once inside, the first thing you’ll notice is how the high ceilings keep the home cool and secondly, the absence of a hallway, which allows natural sunlight to the fill the home from all sides. You’ll feel an overwhelming sense of calmness as you move about the easy-to-navigate floorplan and explore what’s on offer. Everything is here: • Air-conditioning • Ceiling fans to all rooms, including deck • Low-maintenance tile floors • Large windows & strategically placed highlight windows for privacy • White plantation shutters throughout • Oversized bedrooms with built-ins • Spacious bathroom with Internal ‘New York’ laundry • Neutral colours & natural elements • Storage in lounge & laundry • Series of double-doors connecting living to outdoors • Tiled covered-entertaining with screens for privacy, insect & weather control • Convenient ramp to yard • 6 kW solar power & gas hot water, means no electric bills Both king-sized bedrooms have built-ins, two lots of windows and share the accessible bathroom with a separate toilet. Earthy-toned tiles, an open shower space, black hardware and a stone benchtop over a cement-look floating vanity, create a fresh spa-like experience; while the convenient laundry and washtub are tucked behind closed doors, with additional storage for towels and toiletries. A smart grey-and-black kitchen stretches across an entire wall, with an island bench and breakfast bar linking the living and dining zones. Every convenience has been catered for with an electric Westinghouse wall-oven and grill; 5-burner gas cooktop with matching exhaust; large fridge space; banks of soft-close drawers; pantry and plumbing for a dishwasher. Again, black hardware and stone benchtops complete the look, bringing a chic edge to this waterfront property. Entertaining is made easy with the tiled floors continuing past the glass-doors, to the covered outdoor-living area, perfect for relaxing, long lunches or extended weekend visits with friends and family. The space flows easily and opens-up to the extensive views of your waterfront hideaway. The fully-fenced backyard is the perfect stage for childhood adventures, with chicken runs, fruit trees for climbing, beach-combing and water sports on your doorstep. If you have little ones, the beach can be made ‘out-of-bounds’ by simply closing the farm gate. Very quaint, yet practical. For the gardener, you’ll never be short of seasonal foods, with avocado, passionfruit, banana, grapes, lime and sapote, all growing well. Just add a veggie patch, gather the eggs, catch fresh seafood and eat entirely from your own backyard, every day of the year. For the water-lovers, there’s all the extras you’ll appreciate with owning a boat and being outdoors, including: • Direct beach access for kayaks or jet ski • Electric winch to bring the boat in after a day at sea • Temporary mooring for your dinghy • Boat-shed on slab to keep the outboard dry • Wide entrance from street for a boat-trailer to launch your vessel • Space to turn around/reverse boat into storage bay • Work-shed with benches, power & water (or an art studio, perhaps?) • Fish-cleaning area • Taps & hoses for washing-off salt water • Seating area with room for a fire-pit • Level lawn access to enjoy this enviable lifestyle Lamb Island is one of four tranquil locations in the Southern Moreton Bay Islands and this property is within walking distance to the ferry, café, recreation club, community garden and sporting fields. So, you don’t even need a car here, when a boat will do! Free inter-island ferries connect you to the bigger islands of Macleay and Russell for shopping, golf and bowls clubs, primary schools, all your local services such as, doctor, dentist, chemist, medical centre with x-ray and pathology, cafes, pub, art spaces and community services. This amazing home has a council-owned easement on one-side and a vacant block on the other, with a friendly pedestrian gate between, to get to the neighbour’s house for weekend BBQs or evening drinks.
