Sold by Michele Lay & Sam Scobie

Set on a generous 696sqm block in one of Kiama Downs' most sought-after pockets, this fantastic three-bedroom home offers the kind of space and flexibility that's getting harder to find. Gainsborough is a pocket known for its laid-back, coastal feel, where weekends mean beach walks, backyard cricket and neighbours who still wave from the driveway, and this address puts you right in the middle of that lifestyle. It's ready for its next owner to move straight in and start living it.

Step inside and the home opens up into bright, airy living spaces that make the most of the natural light throughout the day. The bedrooms are generously sized, each fitted with built-in robes for easy, clutter-free living. It's a layout that feels relaxed and welcoming from the moment you walk in, the kind of home that just feels right with a single lock-up garage to round things out, taking the stress out of everyday parking.

What really sets this one apart is the side access, wide enough to run a boat or caravan straight down to the backyard, and it's the detail that will have a very specific type of buyer sitting up and taking notice. For the weekend fisherman tired of paying for offsite storage, the caravan owner who wants to hitch up and go without a second thought, or the tradie needing somewhere secure to park a trailer or work vehicle, this is the feature that solves a real problem. It's the sort of practical inclusion that's hard to find on a block this size, and it can turn a good home into the right home for the buyer who needs it.

Out back, the yard has been nicely appointed and soaks up the northern sun for most of the day, the kind of spot that turns into everyone's favourite part of the house once the weather warms up. There's room to kick a ball around, room for the veggie patch you've been meaning to start, or just room to sit with a coffee and watch the morning light come over the fence line. The patio ties it all together, made for long summer afternoons with family and friends spilling out from the kitchen, drinks in hand, while the kids or the dog have the run of the lawn.

Kiama Downs continues to be one of the area's most in-demand suburbs, and a block of this size with this much flexibility doesn't come up often, so this one is worth a look for families after room to grow, boat and caravan owners who need somewhere to put their pride and joy, and first-home buyers wanting a full-sized block to make their own.
