About this property
Glen Isla Seaside - stunning water views from the deck
About the home
"Glen Isla Seaside" is a stunningly renovated family home in a fantastic waterfront location directly on the beach and a short walk to the supermarkets, restaurants & cafés of Cowes. Some of the many features of this home are detailed below:
Indoor Areas
Downstairs is the large central Lounge Room (with 55" smart TV, DVD player and small library of movies) that provides access to Bedrooms 2 & 3 (each with BIR), a central Bathroom (with bath, shower & toilet), Bedroom 4 with BIR and dual-access ensuite (with shower & toilet) and a short hallway to Bedroom 5. The Lounge also provides access to the rear ground floor Deck and views to the water.
Upstairs is the large open plan Kitchen (with WIP)/Dining/Lounge (with 65" smart TV) with incredible waterfront views and providing access out to the semi-covered first floor Deck, as well as Bedroom 1 which features a 40" smart TV, walk-through robe and ensuite (with shower, toilet & double vanity), as well as a separate Toilet.
Outdoor Areas
The first floor semi-covered Deck (with gas BBQ & seating for 10 people) has stunning water views and overlooks the enclosed rear yard. The ground floor covered Deck (with seating for 6 people) steps out to the rear yard, which also features an outdoor shower and with the beach just steps away through a gate in the rear fence. There is parking for 2 cars in the double carport, plus space for 2 more vehicles (cars and/or a boat) in the driveway.
Please also note the home was previously listed as being pet friendly and some reviews reference this (prior to the home being fully rebuilt/renovated) and the home no longer accommodates pets.
Kitchen
The fully appointed kitchen is equipped with cooking utensils, crockery, cutlery, microwave, Nespresso pod coffee machine, toaster, kettle, etc. plus a double sink, a large fridge (plus a bar fridge), dishwasher, electric oven and induction cook top.
Heating/Cooling Systems
There are four wall mounted reverse cycle air-conditioners in the home; one each in the downstairs Lounge room, the upstairs Lounge Room and Bedrooms 1 and 5 and all three bathrooms have heat lamps.
