Nestled behind a white picket fence and surrounded by swaying palms and native trees, this single-level retreat offers a timeless coastal atmosphere. A winding garden path leads to the front porch—perfect for a quiet morning cuppa. Inside, the light-filled living area welcomes you with earthy tones, calming artwork, and two grey sofas. Whether you're curling up with a book or unwinding with a film on the wall-mounted TV, this area is made for slow moments. Prepare meals with ease in the rustic kitchen, equipped with a fridge, oven, electric stove, and microwave. Enjoy casual bites at the timber breakfast bar or gather around the dining table, which comfortably seats six for shared meals. When the afternoon calls for a little fresh air, step out onto the breezy deck, where a timber dining setting and BBQ await for relaxed alfresco dining. Just beyond, the generous backyard unfolds a private sanctuary of green lawn, tropical foliage, and a swing beneath the trees, offering space for everyone to unwind under the endless blue skies. As night falls, retreat to one of three peaceful bedrooms, each furnished with clothing storage and ceiling fans for a restful sleep. The primary and second bedrooms features a queen bed, and the third includes a bunk with a double base and single top—ideal for kids or friends. The bathroom invites unhurried routines, with a deep soaking tub and walk-in shower, while a separate toilet adds extra convenience. The full laundry is tucked away but easily accessible, with a washer, drying rack, and generous bench space to make longer stays feel effortless. Stay productive in the home office with a quiet desk nook and ergonomic chair by the sunlit window, or settle into the armchair for a peaceful read. Stay cool with split-system air conditioning in the living area and ceiling fans throughout. Off-street parking for up to three vehicles is available in the driveway and carport, making arrivals and departures stress-free.

This home places you in a peaceful pocket of Scarness, just a nine-minute stroll from the vibrant Esplanade. There, enjoy Italian pizza at La Bella, sip cocktails at Bar Soma, share a seafood platter with ocean views at Enzo’s on the Beach, or indulge in fine dining at Odyssey Bistro. From the Esplanade, step onto the golden sands of Torquay Beach—a local favourite for a morning swim or surf. A 15-minute walk takes you to Pialba Place for essentials, or a five-minute drive brings you to Stockland Hervey Bay for a wider range of shops. Drive seven minutes to the Botanic Gardens, where tranquil walking paths wind through native flora and birdlife. The historic Urangan Pier, ideal for fishing or soaking in sea views, is only nine minutes away, with Reef World Aquarium and Hervey Bay Airport both reachable within ten minutes.
