Stunning high set views over the waterway of North Arm Cove on the Port Stephens harbour is what sets this property apart. Just standing on the entrance-way deck offers 180 degree water vistas. The home is a classic coastal cottage that takes you back to simpler times. Offering 2 bedrooms, a family bathroom with shower and bath, an outdoor WC, with a large laundry and separate access. The living area comprises one large lounge offering a slow wood burning fireplace, high ceilings and a functional kitchen with room for a small dining table. There is a single lock up garage with new remote roller door plus room for 2 off street parking spaces. Outdoors the front yard is fenced, with well designed terracing framing the mature colourful gardens that are a real feature. At the rear, there is plenty of lawn space, and rear access to the lot off the non urban laneway. From the back the water views again feature with an even higher perspective. There is ample opportunity to maybe add to the dwelling with a split level addition at the rear. A sympathetic renovation of this little gem could result in a truly remarkable property. Or leave as is and enjoy a simpler way of life while having a break from the stresses of city life. Less than 80m to the water's edge where you can fish or swim or kayak.
