About this property

Jan Juc Riviera Coastal Retreat - Made for Families

Wonderful home to share with friends and family. Light-filled living area opens onto spacious north-facing deck with views of Jan Juc's hills and overlooking backyard. Extremely child friendly - backyard with large basketball court, trampoline, and large lawn area plus a kids bedroom with toys, games & books included. Living area separate from bedrooms so kids can sleep while entertaining. Renovated to a standard for owner's regular use. Famous clifftop coastal path, surf break, cafes/pub, ovals/playground & tennis courts all within 600 metres.

The open living area is orientated to capture sunlight from morning to late afternoon. The deck is private and sheltered from the wind so you can relax, entertain and overlooks backyard so you can supervise young kids in comfort. Dining area has an 8-seater dining table, large 7-seater modular leather couch and smart TV. House is fully air-conditioned and has ceiling fans in the living area and 3 of the 4 bedrooms. Throughout the entire house are spectacular professional photos of the surrounding beaches and hills. The kitchen is fully equipped so you can have a great dinner party or BBQ. The bathroom has a bath, separate shower and toilet. There is also second bathroom attached to the laundry.

Very comfortable outdoor deck with large table seating 10 people, plus some comfy relaxing chairs to enjoy the afternoon sun. Deck is covered by commercial quality roofing so you can sit and relax even when it is sunny and hot.

Our place is great for young kids with all the fun stuff in the backyard, and toys / books. The basketball court has an inground basketball ring and proper tiling - all you need to bring is a basketball to play with (we may provide but often it does not get returned!)

Portacot, high chair, protective rails for beds and steps all provided at no extra cost.

We use regularly so look after it as best we can for our own use.

The neighbourhood is full of local families and very kid friendly.

Parking is in the long driveway, and enough for 4 cars (completely off the street).
