This lowset 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 2-car garage home in a very safe, friendly and quiet neighbourhood was recently fully renovated for immediate move-in and comfortable living.

The north-facing property is a 589m2 flat lot with the beach only 20 metres away! From the renovated open plan kitchen/living/dining areas, enjoy fantastic sea views through a 5-metre wide glass sliding door. The verandahs are great for barbecues and outdoor entertaining.

Next to the home is an access stairway over a recently-built protective seawall, to a secluded and flat beach with clean sea water. So even for young children, it is very safe for swimming, fishing, kayaking, other sea or beach activities.

Absolute beachfront location in the sub-tropics means comfortable climate year-round. Air conditioners for cooling and heating recently installed throughout the home, ensure comfort even during very occasional extra hot or cold days.

A new concrete driveway is long enough to park 4 cars (or a caravan or boat). The nearest boat ramp, restaurants, etc, are only a 3-minute drive or 10-minute stroll away.

Council provides piped water but free bore or spear water reduces costs for those enjoying gardening on the flat well-maintained property.

After recent renovations, this home now has 3 compact comfortable bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and non-slip floor tiles throughout for safety and easy maintenance. Main bedroom has an ensuite with shower and toilet, air conditioner, ceiling fan and sliding door to a private courtyard fenced for privacy and pets. This 78m2 fenced courtyard has space for expansion or more rooms.

The 2nd bedroom has air conditioner, ceiling fan and built-in wardrobe. 3rd bedroom has ceiling fan, access to airconditioner, built-in wardrobe and large sliding door so can be a bedroom, study or even a private dining room (as it is next to living area). Common bathroom has bath and shower, with separate toilet.

Nearest major city 20 km or 15-minute drive away is Hervey Bay with major shopping, dining, schools and other facilities (including airport with flights to Sydney, Brisbane, etc). Often called the “Whale watching capital of Australia”, Hervey Bay is also gateway to Fraser Island and other tourist destinations.

The current owner purchased this property for $650,000 in 2008 before the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and spent more than $150,000 to fully renovate it. For this >$800,000 property, the owner’s asking sale price is now only $575,000 negotiable. This is because of the very significant negative gearing benefits and rental income profit received in the past 8 years.

For about 5 years, this property was a weekly holiday rental with up to 90% occupancy year-round because of its fantastic beachfront location and comfortable home. For the remaining 3 years, it was fully rented to the same tenants with 3 children until further upgrades were done before putting it for sale. So this property is great for an owner occupier or an investment purchaser.

The main reason for the owners selling now is because in Nov 2015 they bought another property near Sydney NSW & intend to move there as soon as possible. So this property will be too far for them to do their periodic repair or maintenance visits.

The Open Home for this property is every Saturday from 9:00AM to 1:00PM with the “For Sale By Owner” present.
