Park the car and venture into a house that is turn-key ready, on-trend and one house back from the water’s edge.

The study, immediately to the left, is perfect for business owners who want a functioning and well thought-out office at home. Dark timber-style cabinetry is set against marble-style stone benches. Built so there’s a spot for everything, you’ll be more organised than ever.

Beyond are two large bedrooms, each with four doors of white country-modern matte built-in robes and long desk areas with the same stone benchtops and cabinetry as the study.

The decor includes deep grey carpets and floorboards set against white walls with dove grey linen and silk blend semi-sheer drapes to all windows for a contemporary-yet-cosy feel.

The wide hall has views of the bay and the boats bobbing in the water. It leads to a second living zone at the rear with access to a low-maintenance L-shaped outdoor area.

The laundry offers concertina cafe windows and provision for a bar fridge for entertaining.

The timber staircase’s glass balustrade with exposed timber hand rail is partly removable for moving large furniture to the first floor.

Upstairs, find a large lounge and entertaining space with vaulted white timber panelled ceilings with downlights and a wall-set contemporary fireplace with a tiled surround.

The kitchen has deep stone benches set against white soft closing 2pac cabinetry with 20 doors of storage opposite.

The four-metre deep, north-facing balcony has a plumbed barbecue and room for an eight-seat dining table.

Louvres open and close to either block out cool ocean breeze or offer clear views of the bay.

There are similar views from the dining table, and from the main bedroom – with its stylish en suite and large walk-in robe with laundry chute – where you can wake up and watch the ships to begin the day.
