***AUCTION BROUGHT FORWARD: 6.30pm, Weds 21 October***

Professionals searching for the ideal escape from the city will love this beautifully renovated waterfront 1970s timber home overlooking idyllic Wood Bay.

Its style and efficient proportions are perfect for those used to easy care urban living, yet here you are elevated, surrounded by established native bush with a short walk to the beach.

The main living area on the upper level opens outward to the deck and sea view, and the bespoke new kitchen combines dark powder coated metal cabinetry and honed porcelain benchtops with Fijian kauri sarked walls for a very cool gourmand's hub.

Three bedrooms are complemented by two newly replaced luxurious bathrooms, all thoughtfully laid out in this mid-sized home where everything has been finished to a high standard.

Other upgrades include a central heating system, replaced decking with glass balustrade, attractive Corten steel garden fencing and seating area with an outdoor fireplace, and newly replaced tray-profile roof.

A spacious laundry/workroom with underfloor heating, second living and alcove office sit downstairs - an ideal space for running your work from home business. Direct water access is available via a private beach path, creating a lovely nature walk to compliment your morning coffee.

This property will hold strong appeal for downsizers, professionals or first time buyers looking to relocate from the city for a relaxing, fuss-free lifestyle. With a double carport and additional off street parking it's situated just a 25 minute off-peak commute to the CBD.
