This extensively renovated home in magical Mylestom has an enviable location just 100m walk to the surf, 50m walk to the river and 20m walk to the local café/post office/general store. Not only that, it enjoys extensive views of the river and has council approval to create a new space upstairs (8 x 4m). Currently offering 3 bedrooms, open plan living/dining, original Blackbutt floors, high ceilings and 2 covered decks, this is a once in a generation opportunity.

50m walk to the river

As you reach the "end of the road" at Mylestom, with the beautiful Bellinger River to the west and delightful North Beach to the East you will find there are just 3 homes that enjoy this proximity and the accompanying views – this is one of them. Sited opposite a reserve with playground, tables, toilets, trees and plenty of grass, the recreational value alone for people of all ages is huge. In fact the reserve continues for approximately 4km to the mouth of the Bellinger River.

From the outside of this house, you can see it has been well maintained and retains all the character you would expect in a beachside bungalow, originally built around 100 years ago.  Stepping across the front deck, you will almost certainly pause to lap up the rare river views from here and then step through the French doors on to the original Blackbutt floor with classic 6 inch boards, in excellent condition.

The open plan living/dining area has been opened up by removal of a wall or two and provides a lovely light and airy space with luxuriously high ceilings and yes, rare river views.  There’s a slow combustion log burner for those cool winter evenings as well as insulation and split system reverse cycle air conditioning and delightfully cool summer breezes – the best of both worlds.

The kitchen has a cork tile floor and double pantry, electric wall oven, gas cook top, double sink and lots of light.  From the kitchen you step onto the covered back deck with warm winter sun, overlooking the low maintenance backyard. The bathroom of the main living area also enjoys those lovely Blackbutt floors and offers shower, vanity & linen cupboard with separate dual flush toilet.

In classic beachside bungalow style, bedroom 2 (3.5 x 5.5m) was created by enclosing a verandah, bedroom 3 (3.5 x 3.5m) with built in robe  was created the same way, and both boast more of those lovely timber floors.  The main bedroom (6.5 x 3.5m) accesses the back deck, has been extended to the north and enjoys great winter sun and new Blackbutt flooring, with ample space for your writing desk, computer desk or lounge.  A solid brick laundry (3 x 3m) is easily accessed from  the back deck.

Outside we find a large double carport as well as a lock up garage off the ever handy back lane, and a lock up storage shed.  The gardens easy to care for with minimal mowing, and there’s a rainwater tank and veggie garden for your continuing healthy lifestyle, as well as plenty of “greenery”, a feature pond, and lots of Australian native trees for the vast array of birds that visit often.
