Room To Move

High ceilings and wide traffic areas are two of the clever features of this stylish, as-new Sawtell property, creating a relaxed ambience and a feeling of room to breathe between the three living areas on offer.

The owners of this classically-styled home added an array of design extras when they commissioned the build - including the high ceilings, a spacious walk-in pantry and linen press and CaesarStone bench tops in the kitchen.

Located in the tree-lined Edgewater Cove Estate, with Bongil Bongil National Park at the rear, the home is set back from the street with a long, wide driveway with ample space for extra vehicles. (Talking about room, the double garage has an additional storage area with a window to let extra light in - this could even be used as a home office separate to the interior living zones, or perhaps it's your ideal workshop space).

An established hedge at the front creates a private alfresco terrace outside the entry, the perfect area to sit with a cup of tea at the start of the day or to enjoy reading the Saturday morning paper. It also adds to the privacy inside the formal living room, with it's lovely bay-style window with a green outlook.

There are more tranquil views when you're standing in the galley kitchen, with its black CaesarStone bench tops, and you look out past the dining area and family room to the covered outdoor area and manicured lawn beyond, at the bush at the rear of the block. This peaceful outlook, along with access to the walkway down to the creek is one of the features the owners have most enjoyed - you just need to bring you own canoe or kayak. The rear yard also has a water tank, with harvested water available for the garden and also the laundry and toilets.

With wide industrial-grade vinyl planks throughout, the home has stylish and hard-wearing flooring, which still feels soft underfoot. The high ceilings are offset by hand-picked lighting and the classic style continues with both bathrooms and the laundry featuring a black and white checkerboard tile design.

Aside from its lovely aesthetic features, much thought has gone into creating a functional floor plan, with the master bedroom, walk-in-robe and ensuite located in a completely separate wing, to the right of the entry. There's also a generously-sized walk-in-linen cupboard located in this section - with adequate storage another must-have on the owners' home design list before building five years ago.

Back to the kitchen and family area and there's a Blanco ceramic cook top, space for a dishwasher and a walk-in-pantry at the end of the galley kitchen, which has ample room for all your supplies.

This family space also has a highly-effective Fujitsu inverter air conditioner, which also heats and cools the adjacent activity/living room when the door is open. Close that door and you effectively have the ideal children's or guest wing - with all three bedrooms in this zone able to access the living room. There's also a cupboard with sliding doors in this space, a spot to keep the DVDs, toys or perhaps linen to service this wing.

A sliding door from the activity room also accesses the undercover entertaining area and the yard beyond, and there's plenty of lawn space for all the kids' play equipment. (The veggie garden in the vegetable planters is also staying!) You also have the option of ambling down to the end of the cul-de-sac to use the complex pool, tennis court or host a barbecue in the cabana - all resident-only options.

Back to the property and there's a light-filled family bathroom in the kids' wing, a separate toilet and a very stylish laundry - again thanks to the checkerboard tile design.

This is an immaculate family home which isn't going to date, thanks to the thoughtful choices made by the current owners.

Located under a five minute drive to the heart of Sawtell, with its beautiful beach, restaurants, cafes and boutiques, this lovely property definitely enjoys the best of both worlds, with a leafy, peaceful environment just minutes from the coastline.
