This Orana Drive home is framed by established gardens and soaring palms and offers spectacular ocean views from elevated deck areas that wrap around the upper level.

On entering this property, you will be enveloped by the rich and earthy combination of stone and timber that features throughout its clever and functional design.

The foyer is finished in beautiful stone tiles while the upper level offers a stunning combination of parquetry flooring and timber plantation shutters against high light filled ceilings and wall to wall glass.

There is a spacious open plan living area from where you can step out on to a balcony and soak up the coastal and ocean views.

The contemporary kitchen features timber benchtops, loads of cupboards for storage, electric cooktop and stainless steel rangehood.

The master bedroom is positioned in the eastern wing of the home to ensure those ocean views are not wasted. It has access to the balcony, features parquetry flooring and plantation shutters, offers big built-in robes and a beautifully finished ensuite bathroom with double vanity and waterfall shower.

There is an exceptional al fresco entertaining area off the kitchen overlooking beautifully established gardens and a saltwater inground pool.

Two more bedrooms on this level are queen sized retreats with  builtins and access to the main three-way bathroom with classically styled vanity and free standing tub.

There is a study or home office offering a separate work space with plenty of shelving for storage.

Downstairs, you will find a generously sized and functionally designed rumpus room.

This area features a wall of shutters which can be closed to create a private fourth bedroom.

Alternatively, this space offers plenty of scope for the entertainer, the family with teenage children or extra space for the extended family to relax.

There is a paved courtyard amid lush gardens off this level with direct access to the pool and a two car shed/workshop.

The workshop area is impressive and offers the potential for conversion into a pool house or detached guest accommodation.

There is side access and off street parking in addition to the double garage.

The laundry is equipped with a third bathroom.

This home is just a short walk to the beach and the beautiful water’s edge of the lake, shops and sporting facilities.

It is a short drive from the soon to be completed Lake Cathie Public School.

This property is well worth an inspection before it goes up for auction.
