Key features of this property include:
* Large glass windows and doors allow you to sit inside and enjoy an absolutely spectacular outlook, from either the kitchen, dining area or lounge.
* Peaked roof and raked ceilings echoing the nearby waves and internally giving an uplifting sense of light and space.
* The kitchen takes in the breathtaking ocean views while you cook and features granite bench tops.
* 5 bedrooms, all with built-ins, one with ensuite and 3 with bay windows or decking allowing for ocean views.
* Open plan living areas provide a relaxed lifestyle and the house also gives the option of a separate living room opening onto an outdoor entertaining area.
