AUCTION: 12:00 p.m. Saturday 17 February 2024 On-site (unless sold prior) Summer swims from the bottom of your garden are no longer a dream at this idyllic property overlooking picturesque Picnic Bay. Gaze over the gulf to the distant mainland from this sizeable three-bedroom, three-bathroom home with double garage. The airy main living space features both fireplace and heat pump, a contemporary kitchen with huge stone island bench-top, and wonderful entertaining decks either side. The master bedroom, with en-suite and dreamy views of the water, also opens up to the seaside deck. A full guest bathroom, huge garage with laundry zone, and plenty of storage also feature downstairs. Upstairs, a beautifully designed, sky-lit mezzanine study/lounge area sits between two massive bedrooms with attractive Juliet balconies and enough room to each fit their own lounge area. A bathroom with sea views completes the upper level. Back outside, there's plenty of parking for cars and the boat. The front deck and glorious flat lawn, bordered by citrus, magnolia and lavender, is fully fenced for pets and little ones, and feels like a private, sunny sanctuary. Meanwhile, it's just a walk to the edge of the grass from the main deck and patio, where steps lead directly to one of the most popular swimming beaches on the island. Houses in this tiny seaside enclave rarely come to market. It's a superbly tranquil position, close to schools, the car ferry and local vineyards, while being a short hop to the island's other amenities. ...
