The sprawling backyard offers plenty of room to relax, entertain, or let the little ones run free.
Inside, the open-plan upstairs living area showcases panoramic views of Shellharbour Marina and features a modern kitchen with gas cooking, premium appliances, and everything you need to prepare and share memorable meals. For movie nights or extra guests, the theatre room offers both a cosy cinema-style experience and a pull-out sofa for added flexibility.
Stay cool in summer and warm in winter with ducted air conditioning, ceiling fans, and split systems thoughtfully placed throughout.
Located just a 10-minute walk from Shellharbour Marina and Killalea Reserve, and only minutes from shops, dining, and beaches, this home blends coastal charm with everyday convenience, making it the perfect base for your next getaway.

The Neighbourhood:
Nestled along the stunning NSW South Coast, Shell Cove is a vibrant coastal gem offering the perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and convenience. At its heart lies the beautiful Shell Cove Marina, a buzzing waterfront precinct ideal for strolls, waterfront dining, and setting off on boat tours or kayaking adventures. Just moments away is The Links Shell Cove, a world-class 18-hole golf course boasting ocean views and lush fairways. Explore nearby Shellharbour Village, a charming seaside hub filled with boutique shops, cafés, and breathtaking coastal walks. For beach lovers, The Farm (Killalea Beach) offers excellent surf and picnicking spots, while Bushrangers Bay Aquatic Reserve is perfect for snorkelling and diving. Families and aviation enthusiasts will love the HARS Aviation Museum, where vintage aircraft come to life, and those looking to shop and unwind will find everything they need at Stockland Shellharbour shopping centre. Don’t miss a day by Lake Illawarra, where paddleboarding, fishing, and cycling tracks await. Whether you're here for a laid-back beach escape or an active coastal adventure, Shell Cove is the ideal base to experience the very best of the Illawarra region.
