Overview
This rare waterfront offering in Karuah presents a unique opportunity with two separate homes set on an extensive 1961 square meter parcel, providing direct water access and spectacular views over the Karuah River and Port Stephens waterways.
The newer residence, built in 2023, epitomizes modern coastal living with its fresh all-white colour scheme, soaring raked ceilings, and exquisite solid spotted gum floorboards. The home prioritizes lifestyle and entertaining, featuring an open-plan living area that seamlessly extends to a four-metre wide balcony overlooking the water, creating a magnificent indoor-outdoor connection. The master bedroom benefits from water views and balcony access, while additional bedrooms open onto a rear balcony that overlooks a beautiful in-ground swimming pool.
The kitchen is thoughtfully designed for convenience and style, boasting stone benchtops, soft close cabinetry, a breakfast bar, Smeg stainless steel appliances, and a double sink with a view. Comfort is assured throughout with features including a wood-burning fireplace, reverse-cycle air conditioning, ceiling fans, comprehensive security wiring, and disability-friendly access.
Garaging options are extensive, accommodating a 28-foot boat in a Colorbond shed alongside vehicles with an additional attached carport. The waterfront home benefits from a drive-through double carport and two lock-up garages beneath. The large, fully fenced lawn area is ideal for children and pets, complementing the easy access to boating where watercraft can be moored directly at your backyard, or by using nearby community jetties and facilities.
The original two-storey street-front home offers further versatility with three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a carport, currently tenanted for steady rental income. It is securely fenced from the new waterfront property, providing privacy for both dwellings.
Location-wise, residents enjoy the convenience of nearby shops, schools, clubs, parks, a tidal swimming pool, jetty, and boat ramp all within walking distance. This combination of dual homes, waterfront living, strong rental income, and extensive garaging is notably rare, offering significant value and lifestyle potential.
