Recently repainted throughout and finished with stylish timber flooring, the residence combines contemporary comfort with timeless design. White Venetian blinds, elegant matte-black fittings and fixtures, Modern LED downlighting, and carefully selected finishes create a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere. The spacious open-plan living, dining and kitchen area forms the heart of the home.

Whether you're enjoying a morning coffee, entertaining friends, or simply relaxing after work, this is a space you'll find yourself drawn to time and time again. On occasion, you may even be treated to the sight of dolphins visiting the nearby waterways, further enhancing the unique appeal of this remarkable location.

Wake up each morning to peaceful waterside views and fresh river breezes from the comfort of your own bedroom. Complementing the master is a contemporary ensuite finished with stone vanity benchtops, a large shower, and excellent vanity storage, creating a practical and stylish space to begin and end each day. The second bedroom is equally impressive in size and versatility.
