Here you will find the fourth bedroom which consists of a queen bed and another set of bunks. This room has direct access to the downstairs bathroom which has a shower, basin, toilet and a heated towel rack.

The stunning fully equipped kitchen is also on this level and is finished to the highest of standards. With its 60mm thick granite bench tops, Bosch appliances and a new french door fridge, your inner chef will be inspired.

Wine and dine either in the dining area, sunroom space or the lounge. The open plan layout of The Breakwater allows that free flow spacious vibe that invites you to relax in any area of the house. The sunroom boasts a wall of white french glass windows that let the sunlight glisten through the leafy green landscaped garden. Feeling tired and achy from all the swimming, walking and fresh air? Help yourself to the brand new 2 person infrared sauna. You can rejuvenate your muscles and wellbeing whilst reading a good book or stare out into the garden oasis.

The Breakwater property is 10 houses back from the ocean with Caves Beach on the northern side and Spoon Rocks Beach to the south. The coastal location puts you on the door step on the largest saltwater lake in the southern hemisphere, Lake Macquarie.
