11 Payten Street, Eraring.

Basking in its world-class setting, this single-level stunner boasts Lake Macquarie as an extension of its front yard to effortlessly combine a glorious waterfront view with a close connection to nature. A tranquil escape set over 1.5 acres, here is a rare find indeed. More retreat than residence, the home is utterly charming, with an open fireplace and fretwork plus French and leadlight windows all adding character to its three-bedroom layout. A formal dining room, separate lounge room, sitting room and sunroom offer plenty of internal versatility, though you'll be drawn outside at every opportunity to soak up the magical water view and watch the comings and goings of birdlife. A standalone double garage, a double carport and a large freestanding shed increase appeal, though it's the grounds that will win your heart – they are tree-dotted from privacy, park-like in looks and meander down to the lake's shore. Dipping your toes in the water, launching your kayak, or throwing out a line is as easy as crossing your front lawn. - Picture-postcard waterfront home placed upon 1.55 acres of picture-postcard grounds - Full of charm and character and offering a selection of inviting living spaces - Farmhouse kitchen featuring double French doors to a sheltered alfresco escape - Stunning pergola to dine or relax outdoors while soaking up the breathtaking view - Three peaceful bedrooms, each boasting a generous built-in wardrobe - Two bathrooms include a master ensuite and spacious main with spa bath - Private grounds meander through established trees to arrive at the lakes shore - Separate brick-built garage with toilet plus a freestanding 7.4m x 5m shed - Whisper-quiet location near excellent schools and the ever-expanding township of Morisset - 10 minute drive to Morisset station for a quick 90 min trip into Sydney's CBD - Alternatively, the nearby expressway provides seamless access to Newcastle, the Hunter Valley and Sydney - A gorgeous package that would make a beautiful long-term home or sublime waterfront weekender
