16/40 Scarlet Oak Drive Schnapper Rock, North Shore City

You know those places that just make sense? Where the layout works, the spaces are exactly the right size, the sun finds you all day, and there's nothing screaming for your attention?

This is one of those!

Tucked away in Schnapper Rock, this perfectly formed three-bedroom, two-bathroom property has been designed for easy living, with a clever layout that gives you space, privacy and effortless indoor-outdoor flow.

The heart of the house is the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, with two sets of French doors opening to a sun-soaked yard. Perfectly sized for alfresco dining, entertaining and relaxing. It even accommodates the owners portable swimming pool in summer. This is an oasis big enough for a garden and all the outdoor furniture, but small enough to mean low maintenance.

Upstairs there's even more to love. Three bedrooms, including two generous doubles with large wardrobes to match. The master is a real treat, with an elevated outlook and its own ensuite featuring both a shower and separate bath. And for everyone else, there's a well-appointed family bathroom of their own.

Then there's the practical stuff. A generous double internal-access garage gives you plenty of room for cars, bikes and all those things we somehow accumulate. Add the dedicated laundry space and the all important separate toilet and you're sorted.

And that's really the story here. You won't be walking around thinking, "I wish it had…" or "If only they'd thought of…"

They have!

Recently painted, beautifully maintained and with the peace of mind of a cavity system, there's nothing here waiting to become your next project or headache.

And then there's the location. Close to Albany Mall, shops, cafe's and motorway. Zoned for Albany Junior and Senior High, with Kristin, Pinehurst and the North Shore Golf Club all close by.

This home ticks every box. Even the ones you didn't know you needed. Just walk in, say wow, unpack and enjoy.
