Five minutes off the newly - upgraded Pacific Highway and you are enveloped in the soothing charms of
North Arm cove with its fringing bush on one side and on the other the sparkling waters of port Stephens.
It has deep-in-the country feel and is quiet and restful.
This secluded property looks down on to the cove and its main windows face into the cooling summer
breezes from the east. Trees dominate the view and in hot weather tall iron barks create welcomed
shade in the lower part of the block.
The two-storey home has a cathedral-style timber ceiling in the lounge-dining area which opens on to a
northern-side deck. When working in the kitchen, adjoining the lounge, there is a grandstand view of the
shrubs and grassed areas which runs down to the road. Magpies, king parrots, rosella, doves, honey-eaters, choughs and wallabies are regular callers to the water bath in front of the kitchen window.
The main and second bedrooms are accessed by a wooden stairway in the lounge. These have great views
from their bay windows which provide a desktop and drawers. Both rooms have built-in robes plus storage
 areas. The arrangement of windows and doors provides plenty of cross-ventilation. A third bedroom
adjoins the kitchen on the ground floor. The back section contains the bathroom, laundry and back porch
which gives access to the deck (which wraps around to the front) and the carport.
In addition to vehicle access from the front via Eastslope Way, a back lane gives access from The
Ridgeway to the carport, and a large space available for a boat.
