On the north facing side of a most-sought-after street is this wonderful family home on a lovely flat, fenced, full site. It hits the spot in so many ways! Stylishly renovated with modern fixtures yet retaining character charm of solid weatherboard cladding and tongue and groove floors. Immediately on entering you will be struck by its warmth and fantastic indoor/outdoor flow. Internally it's so spacious and practical practical between kitchen and living areas, nicely separated to bedrooms, bathrooms, study (easily your 4th bedroom) and generous double internal access garage. The expansive front decking is accessed from kitchen, dining and living. There is also rain sensor Louvretec installed with pull down blinds and outdoor heater to ensure your entertaining options are all year round. Bonus decking and garden area at the back caters nicely for a spa or those with green fingers. With ample storage both in the home and under, loads of built-ins in the garage, garden shed plus extra gated parking, there is room and security for all your cars, boat and toys. The kids and the pooch will love the wide lawn areas. Please note this is no lightweight renovation. It has been fully re-gibbed, re-insulated, re-wired, re-plumbed, re-roofed - and then re-novated. Let's call it the full monty! The superb location affords you loads of lifestyle options on any one day. Stroll up to the awesome Olde Torbay village for coffee a pie or brunch at Scout, a new hair-do or fresh fruit and vege…return at night to any one of the awesome restaurants. Stroll down the road one way to Waiake beach and Burger Burger or the other way to Long Bay beach, not forgetting the new hub encompassing the Long Bay Surf Club and New World supermarket. With zoning for Northcross Int and Long Bay College as well as close proximity to numerous primary schools and childcare centres, your education options are numerous.
