Position is very important if you are after peace and quiet and this house is one of the best in Kooringal for that.

This beautiful home is situated on the NE corner of the town and therefore is the quietest due to very little passing traffic. Despite this, it is only 70m to the water.
Being a corner block facing north, the outlook is over gardens and into the bush ... not other houses.
In winter it gets the northern sun all day and very little westerly wind and in summer picks up the NE sea breeze.
It has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (ensuite off master bedroom)
The 3rd bedroom is a big room and could take 4 single beds or 4 double bunks.
There is garage parking for 1 car and a tinny or small car, plus a large double carport.
In 2001/2002 a major refurbishment of the house took place and since then regular maintenance and care has kept the house infrastructure working perfectly and in very good condition.
