There is so much to love about this property which has been home to David and Jenny for the past 38 years. Their children were raised in this surprising, spacious home less than 5 minutes walk to Blackmans Bay Beach, close to local bus stops, the popular Illawarra Primary School, shops, cafes and restaurants, an area that has really come of age to meet the mixed demographic of the suburb. You will appreciate the size of the rooms, the beautiful water views and this fabulously convenient, yet quiet location. Highlights of the view are the Iron Pot, Cape Raoul and South Arm with the picturesque and ever-changing River Derwent in the fore to enjoy through the days. Attracting all day sun due to its aspect and incredibly private from the road, there is loads of space underneath for cars, a workshop and storage. The two generous living spaces upstairs can be closed off from each other or left open, an ideal layout when entertaining or if you have younger children who need to be contained within the kitchen area while you are preparing a meal. The main lounge and more formal dining area both take in the fabulous views and are heated by both a heat pump and wood heater. The bedrooms are away from the living areas and are a great size, all with build-in robes. The main bathroom has been beautifully renovated while the ensuite is functional until you decide to modernise this down the track. Tas Oak floorboards and big windows create a real sense of space, attract loads of natural lighting and are a practical surface for everyday living in the kitchen/family room which accesses the deck outside and stairs down to the backyard. Some obvious inclusions are the energy efficient solar panels, solar hot water and even raised veggie gardens, while the less visual ones such as the laundry chute, magnetised double glazed window, electric boost for the solar hot water and upstairs attic storage are both practical and functional extras…it keeps getting better! There's good off street parking if you have a caravan or boat in addition to your everyday vehicles, with an enclosed yard if you have a family dog. Freshly painted inside and newish carpets, there is very little to do except move in make the most of this sunny, spacious home. Some modernizing has been done over the years and now its time for this surprising home to find its new family to love and cherish life here, close to the beach, school, local shops and cafes…don't delay on this one because it really won't be on the market long, less than 25 minutes drive to the city - outside peak hour times!
