18 Elvina Avenue, Newport, NSW 2106

Overlooking one of Pittwater's prettiest inlets, this charming home (one of the originals of the area) has been designed to accommodate a variety of owners - from young families to down-sizers. Tightly held for more than four decades, and lovingly maintained, it retains all of its original charm, yet offers every convenience for modern life.

There's easy access to the driveway and double carport, off a quiet cul-de-sac, to a house that's been positioned to maximise light as well as the spectacular view over Pittwater's Salt Pan Cove. The house sits elevated above Florence Reserve, adjacent to a grassy path that leads to the sandy Pittwater shoreline...just perfect for an afternoon dip.

This solid weatherboard and brick house is compact and super comfortable, private and peaceful with air-conditioning and ceiling fans throughout. The kitchen (with high quality appliances and stone bench tops) flows to the living and dining, and onto a spectacular, wide and covered timber deck, that makes entertaining a breeze. The deck overlooks tiered lawns and garden beds that feature some wonderful original sandstone walls, mature frangipani trees and lush plantings.

On the main level there is a master bedroom, a second bedroom (both with built-in-robes) and a large family bathroom in between.

Downstairs, there is a huge third bedroom, also set up as a master suite, that could work equally well as a study, rumpus or as guest accommodation - though your guests would never leave! There is also a second bathroom/laundry on this level to add to the convenience of it all.

Beautiful as is, there's still room to further enhance and to put your own stamp on it. But hurry, this little gem won't last long!
