Sweeping, uninterrupted views across Hardys Bay set the tone for this beautifully kept coastal cottage - a place where sunlit days drift by and life unfolds at a gentler pace. Fresh, bright and airy throughout, with timber floors underfoot, interiors feel warm and welcoming, framed by those ever-present water views. Held within the same family for 60 years, the home reveals a classic, traditional layout with three comfortable bedrooms and light-filled living and dining zones that flow seamlessly onto a north-facing deck - the perfect setting for slow mornings and long, lingering afternoons. A separate bathroom, toilet and laundry pay homage to the home's original charm.
