Located just 320m level walk from the tranquil shores of Pittwater, this Mackerel Beach home is a wonderful getaway.

Built for ease of use over one level, the house is a comfortable full-time residence or perfect holiday home, both ideal when you want to escape the city life, whether for a long break, or only temporarily.

Light is drawn into the house via vaulted ceiling windows, and louvres encourage gentle seabreezes in summer.

The modern and functional kitchen, with large walk-in pantry, adjoins the dining area which then spills via glass cafe doors to the large rear deck and level gardens.

The separate living room has a gorgeous stone fireplace which provides rich ambience during the cooler months.

The floorplan is cleverly arranged so that two couples have separate accommodation and bathrooms. The third bedroom has two single beds - ideal for children.

All three bedrooms have built in robes, the master has a walk-thru robe leading into the 2-way bathroom. Two of the bedrooms have their own private balcony.

There is a cabin in the back yard, ideal for garden tools and storage.

Other features include polished timber floors, ceiling fans, and the property comes fully furnished and basically ready-to-use, including beds, lounge room furniture, dining room table and chairs, all the glassware, crockery and cutlery - and outside BBQ.

There is comfortable wheel chair/trolley access (great for bringing provisions from Palm Beach) via a gently sloped ramp down the side passage.

Accessed only by water, either by private boat or the regular ferry service from Palm Beach wharf, or water taxi service, this is the perfect spot for a hideaway to live in, or use for holidays all year round.
