BUILT in the late 1990s, this original waterfront home is positioned in one of the first stages of Twin Waters.

It's a convenient location close to beaches and road access. More importantly though the water view stretches right across the canal to the park opposite providing a higher level of privacy than you'd normally find in this kind of development.

This combination of water and park views was in fact a major drawcard for Lend Lease way back when the estate was first gaining recognition a premier waterfront precinct.

The house is in great condition for its age with a handful of updates over the otherwise excellent original finish. The floorplan features generous casual living areas, well-equipped kitchen and over-sized master suite all with exceptional water views.

High ceilings add a feeling of extra space and will be a great ally in any modernising that someone may choose to do down the track.

While the fourth bedroom is more modest in size the second guest bedroom is quite large with a walk-in robe and easy access across the hall to the bathroom.

The formal lounge area has a step down accentuating the ceiling height even more.

There is a good size walk-in robe and ensuite to the main bedroom and of course stunning water views from most of the home.

One of the most important areas of untapped potential is the back garden. There is plenty of space to develop a deck or simply an oversized outdoor entertainment area that takes the canal and park views to the next level.

There's also room for a pool and a place to launch a kayak or simply throw in a fishing line.

Offering clean comfortable waterfront living now with a great variety of options for the future. This home represents a rare opportunity and an affordable step into something that could one day become a top end waterfront property.
