Downsizing requires various important boxes to be ticked including space, storage, no steps and preferably an easy walk to the beach. Welcome to 3 Crystal Drive where all of this and more is part of this fantastic property and lifestyle package.

‘Crystal Waters’ is a sought-after beachside precinct at Sapphire Beach, just north of Coffs, and this home with its oversized living and entertaining areas, and low maintenance grounds, is located in this great environment. The 9′ 6″ ceilings emphasise the spacious feel, and ducted air conditioning plus ceiling fans provide year-round climate comfort. The undercover alfresco terrace is huge, and there is a second north-facing terrace perfect for the morning cuppa while relaxing in the winter sun. The grounds are tropical and low maintenance, and provide great privacy. There are three bedrooms, two bathrooms (including ensuite off main bedroom and two-way main bathroom), ample storage (including stand-up attic space in the roof with ladder access), and great potential for caravan storage. Most importantly, this is a single level home with no steps to manage.

Only a few hundred metres down the road, you will find the beautiful unspoilt beach, where strolls along the sand and throwing a rod into the sea can be part of this lovely lifestyle. A walk north along the sand will take you to the very popular Beachstone Café and fabulous children’s playground at North Sapphire. This is a great venue for a morning coffee, delicious lunch or dinner, or just a drink at the bar, while the younger family members amuse themselves on the swings, slide and flying fox!
