No power? No problem. Let there always be light.

This charming low-set home with a well-established maintenance-free garden on 1/4 acre is new to the market after 12 years. Situated a short drive from the magnificent 9-hole PGA-rated course at Macleay Island Golf Club and also the Club Macleay Bowls Club. Trivia nights and dining out is par for the course as both clubs offer complimentary door-to-door transport. The family-friendly atmosphere is a big drawcard for celebrations. And every fisherman’s dream: the Dulpura Bay boat ramp is only 2 km from your front door.

The block is on a small hill’s crest, allowing for perfect drainage during the wet season. It is the ideal home for those who like a quiet life. Natone Terrace is a short street with little passing traffic, one street back from Kate Street. It is only 1.5 km from the school and 3 km from the ferry terminal. The north-facing entrance porch leads you into the combined lounge/dining room/and modern kitchen with a high cathedral ceiling.

Rollout canvas blinds have been fitted on the entrance porch for protection from inclement weather and also over the front dining room window to block the late western sun.

The cool from the loungeroom’s air conditioning unit travels down the vast hallway and keeps the whole house cool. Off the hallway is the laundry, which has access to the line from another porch on the southern side. The bathroom has a shower, vanity, and separate toilet, which are handy for the living area.

A linen press in the lounge room and a pseudo attic cleverly built into the ceiling above the long wide hallway offers extensive storage.

It has three carpeted bedrooms, all with ceiling fans. Two rooms have built-in robes, and the main bedroom has an ensuite and a walk-in dressing room. The third room is currently used as an office.

This 20-year-old property’s easy, liveable tone has recently been painted inside and out. The clean white walls and high ceilings give the impression of spacious living.

We all know what power outages can be like when Mother Nature throws us a curve ball, and we find ourselves in the dark, so to speak. However, if this happens, fear not. A transfer switch has been installed under the house, and you simply have to plug your generator into it and turn it on. All wall sockets are back in action. You will be the envy of many of your neighbours. Oh, and the best part is the beer stays cold.

Features:

• Timber flooring throughout.
• Compact kitchen with large pantry and dishwasher.
• Two lock-up garden/tool sheds in the back garden.
• The property is fully fenced.
• Solar power and hot water system.
• Safety handrails are fitted throughout.
• There is a covered carport for two cars or one car and a boat.

Access to the backyard is off the hallway, the door takes you outside to the most appealing entertainment area. The extensive overhanging roof protects you from the rain, and a large gazebo shelters you from the midday sun. The small water pond has morphed into a “rock garden ” but could easily be reverted to its tranquil origins. The whole back area is shaded as the sun traverses the sky later in the day. The ingenuity to have a TV on the wall is genius. Imagine sitting in the deck chair watching the PGA, Footy or anything that takes your fancy, enjoying a cold drink.

If your family is expanding, it is possible to extend the kitchen into what is currently the laundry and move that to the room accessed from the paved courtyard.

The remainder of the backyard is grassed, leaving plenty of room for the kids to play with their four-legged friends. For the green thumb in the family, a vegetable garden has been lovingly cared for and is waiting for the new owners of 16 Natone Terrace to pick their fresh produce, toss the salad to go with the steaks, open a coldie, and settle in to watch the game in their own outdoor theatre.
