At the heart of the home, the fully equipped kitchen flows effortlessly into the airy dining area, inviting long, leisurely meals with family and friends. Double doors open onto the expansive central deck, where indoor and outdoor living blend seamlessly - the perfect spot for alfresco dining, morning coffees or evening drinks surrounded by the peaceful garden setting. Tucked away at the rear of the home, the second bedroom offers added privacy with its own ensuite and direct access to a quiet side deck.

★ Bathroom ★ Designed with white finishes and stylish, vintage-inspired patterned floor tiles, the home features two sleek, fully tiled ensuite bathrooms attached directly to each bedroom for ultimate convenience and privacy. The primary bedroom ensuite is a bright, full-featured retreat featuring a shower over a deep bathtub, a floating vanity with stone-look countertops, a WC and louvered windows for fresh coastal breezes. The second bedroom ensuite offers a contemporary glass-framed step-in shower with flexible showerheads, a clean white vanity, WC and crisp task lighting.

★ Living Rooms ★ Step into a bright, character-filled lounge where rich hardwood floors, crisp white panelled walls and cheerful pops of sunshine yellow set a relaxed coastal tone. Here, you can sink into the generous L-shaped lounge for movie nights on the Smart TV - fully stocked with complimentary Netflix, Apple TV, and Kayo - or gather around the cozy gas fireplace on cooler evenings. Wide windows fill the room with natural light and tree-lined views, offering a peaceful backdrop for picking a book from the built-in shelves, while split-system air conditioning and a sleek ceiling fan keep the space effortless comfortable in any season. Positioned just across the main deck, the separate, light-filled studio is a versatile sanctuary with a relaxed bohemian feel. Wrapped in warm timber panelling under a soaring vaulted ceiling, the open-plan space features a plush sofa, a cosy lounge chair, and a built-in window bench with bar stools -making it an ideal bonus living area, creative nook or peaceful spot for morning yoga. Massive sliding glass doors pull back to connect the room seamlessly with the central deck, while a ceiling fan keeps sea breezes flowing.
★ Kitchen & Dining ★ At the heart of the home, the classic white kitchen is fully fitted with quality stainless steel appliances – including gas cooktop and oven, a full-sized fridge and dishwasher - making meal prep a breeze. A clever timber pass-through window connects the kitchen directly to the adjoining dining room, keeping the home cook connected to the conversation. Illuminated by a striking, oversized globe pendant light that emits a soft, warm glow, the dining area centres around an oval wooden table framed by leafy garden windows. Large sliding glass doors open straight out onto the central entertaining deck, making the transition from indoor dining to alfresco entertaining completely effortless.
Outdoors Anchoring the home's indoor-outdoor layout, an expansive central timber deck invites you to embrace true coastal living. Shaded by a retractable awning and a cantilever umbrella, the split-level outdoor space features deep wooden lounges, casual butterfly chairs and a long picnic table for sunny BBQs and alfresco dining. Tucked among leafy tropical greenery you’ll find an outdoor shower - perfect for washing off sand after a morning at Macmasters Beach. Steps lead down from the main deck to a level, grassy lawn where guests can soak up the sun, as well as a rustic corrugated-iron utility shed housing full external laundry facilities with a washing machine and dryer.
