Walk up the garden path to the steps and verandah of this classic well-loved villa sitting in an elevated position which allows views over Collingwood, sea, mountains from the verandah and views of the estuary from the small deck to the side of the house. The house sits in a sheltered, north-facing position, yet gets all-day sun. This is a property that must be viewed to appreciate its character and charm.

The dwelling has high ceilings throughout, making it light and bright. Timber floors and joinery add to its charm but with the benefit of underfloor and ceiling insulation. A wood-fire (Woodsman) and a heat pump keep the main living/dining area cosy, with ceiling fan to aid airflow.

The kitchen, behind the open living area, has the usual appliances of cooker, rangehood, dishwasher and large pantry.

A corridor leads off the living area to two bedrooms – one is presently being used as an office/bedroom, and the second is the main bedroom. Both rooms have large wardrobes with the main bedroom having extra storage above.

The laundry/utility room is located near here (with back door to the garden); bathroom access is from this area, having a separate cubicle shower, vanity unit, toilet and heated towel rail.

The third bedroom is located on the other side of the living area and is large with an ensuite bathroom, with cubicle shower, vanity unit, toilet and heated towel rail. Having separate access nearby, this could easily be used as an Air BnB.

Outside is a spa pool. The gardens are on a number of levels, with mature fruit trees (lemons, greengage, grapes, plums, walnut and avocado) and, below, is a range of built-up veggie gardens. There is ample wood storage.

There is a separate double carport and large garage, with work bench and mezzanine storage area.

The house is on mains sewer and connected to the Collingwood Water Scheme.
