The adjoining dining area seats eight, while the fully equipped kitchen includes a breakfast bar, gas cooktop, oven, dishwasher, Nespresso machine, airfryer, and a full-size fridge with filtered water. A second living room and workspace offers flexibility for families or remote workers—a practical and peaceful addition. Glass doors open to a large covered patio, ideal for outdoor dining with a Family Weber Q BBQ and an eight-seater setting. The fully fenced yard provides a safe play space for children, while the outdoor shower makes rinsing off after the beach a breeze. The primary suite includes a king bed, private ensuite with oversized shower, and a 60” Smart TV. The second bedroom features flexibility with a super king bed that converts into two long king single beds on request, while the cosy third bedroom includes a plush queen bed. The main bathroom with shower and bath complements the layout, plus a separate toilet, washer, and clothes line add to your daily convenience. A Samsung smart ducted heating and cooling system keeps the temperature perfect year-round. Secure garage and driveway parking offer peace of mind, and with the lake just steps away, everything about this home invites easy coastal living.

Set along peaceful Bartel Boulevard, The Lake House enjoys one of Encounter Bay’s most scenic and family-friendly settings. Step across the road to the calm tidal lake for safe swimming and paddle boarding, with a shaded playground just around the corner and a great café by the water for your morning coffee. The beach is only 300 metres away, perfect for a quick dip or sunset stroll, and the outdoor shower at home makes rinsing off sandy feet easy after a day by the lake or sea.
