Just a leisurely stroll across the reserve to cafes, bistros and boutiques, this wonderfully sized and beautifully modernised beachside home with studio and self-contained guest wing delivers an idyllic lifestyle package on the edge of the village in exclusive Ranelagh Estate.

Remarkably peaceful and private on an 843m2 (approx) garden allotment rife with floral gardens and prolific fruit trees, the single-level residence features both formal and informal living and dining zones, while the bay views across the treetops only hint at the expanded water vista awaiting from a potential second storey (STCA).

A modernised kitchen with cream cabinetry is well-appointed with a six-burner gas cooktop and an Asko oven and dishwasher, along with easy access through sliding glass doors to a charming red-brick alfresco terrace, meandering garden trails, sweet fruit trees, organic veggie garden and a selection of serene settings to relax with a cuppa and a good book.

The generously sized master bedroom boasts a walk-in robe and updated ensuite in this glorious package, which is superbly configured for extended families or those who run a business from home with a huge second master-come-retreat in its own wing with built-in robes, an ensuite and French doors opening to the driveway.

An easy walk to the beach, tennis club, yacht club, restaurants, essential services, supermarkets, public transport, the community centre, playgrounds and the dog park, this village-fringe residence includes a fourth bedroom / study (custom desk optional), a third bathroom with spa, ducted heating and split-systems.

Set beyond dual-gated entry with off-street parking for a caravan, the property also provides a carport and detached workshop and is surrounded by a choice of excellent schools.
