Overview
In the thriving riverside township of Karuah, this unique property offers an extraordinary blend of versatility and lifestyle appeal by presenting two entirely separate residences on a generous 1,961sqm waterfront parcel with sweeping views towards Nelson Bay.
The dual-residence setup is perfectly suited for large families, investors seeking substantial rental income, or those desiring a blend of peaceful living with opportunities for additional earnings through accommodation or business use.
The first home, a well-established original residence currently leased with secured income, presents a comfortable traditional layout featuring three spacious bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, multiple living areas, and a combustion fireplace offering year-round comfort. Its enclosed rear yard and covered patios provide private outdoor retreats, while a large carport adds convenience for multiple vehicles.
The newer counterpart, completed in 2023, is a masterclass in modern design focused on maximizing the elevated water views. This architecturally crafted residence includes a spacious open-plan living area that extends seamlessly onto a tiled balcony, ideal for entertaining. The contemporary kitchen boasts an island bench and high-end appliances including a SMEG dishwasher, catering to culinary enthusiasts. Three generous bedrooms include split-system air conditioning and ceiling fans, while the master suite features direct balcony access with stylish ensuite appointments.
Additional functional spaces include a versatile media room, a family bathroom with a bathtub, plus a wheelchair-accessible entry enhancing inclusivity.
Outdoors, the property excels with a saltwater inground pool surrounded by paved entertaining areas—a superb setting for relaxation and social gatherings. Off-street parking needs are met comprehensively with a double garage, attached carport, extensive under-house storage, and a fully insulated 15m by 8m shed complete with dual electric roller doors and side access catering to boats, caravans, or workshop needs.
This property’s layout affords excellent autonomy for both dwellings with separate driveway access and individually metered utilities. The incorporation of town water supplemented by rainwater for essential services underlines a commitment to sustainability and efficiency.
Given its prime location near local shops, boat ramps, and the natural attractions of the Karuah River and Port Stephens, this offering promises both lifestyle satisfaction and long-term value. It caters particularly to those seeking multi-generational living, an investment with multiple income streams, or a striking home business venue, all enveloped in a scenic and tranquil setting.
Ultimately, 68 & 68a Holdom Road stands as a rare opportunity that adapts to evolving needs without sacrificing charm, convenience, or potential.
