Charming 4 bedroom waterfront reserve cedar home on St Georges Basin.
Named “Halcyon” because it offers a serene country escape and the only noise you will hear are kangaroos hopping past and the gentle lapping of waves.
The house is designed for relaxation and laughter, with open plan living downstairs complete with a wood fire for the cooler months. Step out from the comfortable living area to a large protected veranda with 180 degree water views, plenty of seating, plus a separate outdoor setting with BBQ.
There are 3 bedrooms downstairs (bedrooms 2 & 3 are connected with a sliding door)
Bedrooms 2 and 3 (smart TV) both have TV's. Main bathroom plus laundry has a 3rd shower and toilet.
The upstairs loft includes a main bedroom and ensuite with a separate sitting area of comfy leather couches and a TV.
