Inside, the residence features exquisite timber flooring paired with a modern central kitchen designed to showcase sweeping water vistas, complete with a servery that connects fluidly to a fully equipped outdoor kitchen. This creates a harmonious setting for both everyday living and entertaining.

The generous open-plan living and dining areas center around an electric linear fireplace, balancing sophistication with a welcoming ambiance.

A recently upgraded pontoon enhances the property’s appeal to boating and fishing enthusiasts, serving as an inviting platform to embrace the tranquil riverfront life.

Spread over two levels, the home accommodates five spacious bedrooms and four bathrooms.

The lower level offers versatile space suitable as a fifth bedroom, home office, or secondary living area, with direct deck access and water views.

An architectural highlight is the exposed staircase framed with expansive glass panels, flooding the interior with natural light while framing views of manicured tropical gardens. The outdoor spaces are thoughtfully landscaped with lawns suitable for children and pets, ensuring privacy and comfort.
