There have been many enquiries about this property in the past but, alas, it has not been for sale. However, it has finally come onto the market 

 

The position is faultless, on beautiful Dangar Island, with a north facing, waterfront position and a private deepwater jetty and pontoon for easy boating access. A short walk will take you to the Island Store for your newspaper and morning coffee and the Ferry pulls in at the Public Wharf, which is just a stone's throw from the Boathouse.

 

The land is in excess of 1,800 square meters with potential for subdivision. There are three entrances to the property, one by water on the pontoon at the boathouse, another on Yallaroi Parade at the rear of the main house and a third from Neotsfield Avenue opposite the Island Store. 

 

The architect -designed main house comprises five bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms and large living areas, which open onto a north facing deck via concealed sliding doors. This outdoor deck area is protected from inclement weather by a Solar Powered Vergola Roof, which ensures pleasant entertaining all year round.

 

The stainless steel kitchen is well equipped with European Appliances and includes a steamer oven, magnetic cook top and powerful extractors. The kitchen is separated from the living area by a large breakfast bar and includes a walk-in pantry. A large slow combustion wood burner provides winter warmth and ceiling fans are used in summer.

 

In addition to the main living area there is also a large Study and Library area at the rear of the house, which currently houses a grand piano and a large book collection.

 

The main house and Boathouse are wired for five telephone lines and currently the owner uses Broadband ADSL for high-speed Internet access.

 

The Boathouse was originally the Ladies Bathing Pavilion for the Dangar family and was built in 1881 but it has recently been restored, to provide self-contained guest accommodation for up to four people. The kitchen actually sits over the water on a covered deck area and can be utilised all year around in any weather conditions. 

 

 A slight embankment and sloping lawns separate the elevated main house from the boathouse and Paw Paw, Mango, Avocado and Macadamia trees can be found scattered throughout the gardens. 

 

So, in short, this property offers something for everyone. It could be a wonderful family residence, a weekender, a great investment, or all three. Whatever your requirements, you should arrange an early inspection as properties of this calibre do not stay on the market for long.
