60 Castle Circuit, Umina Beach.

The views across Brisbane Water are spectacular, yet it's the clever orientation of this home that feeds the soul from sunrise till last light. It's an easy thing to overlook on the first or second walk-through, especially when your gaze is drawn to the smartly renovated interiors, the versatility of the layout and the expansive entertaining decks at both ends. That northerly aspect floods this home with natural light throughout the day, with bifolding doors erasing the boundaries between inside and out; afternoon sun shines across the native gardens, heated mineral pool and jacuzzi spa. Anchoring the open interiors is the stunning island kitchen finished with imported tiles and a sleek induction cooktop, while the lower level is super-flexible with a rumpus or 4th bedroom opening to the pool and gardens. The setting couldn't be better – it's no more than five-min drive to the beach, local schools, Umina's shopping precinct and dozens of buzzy dining options. • Come for the views, stay for the light: from sunrise till magic hour • Unforgettable vista across Brisbane Water + brilliant north aspect • Tranquil views of Pittwater from the rear deck • Luminous, open plan design with smartly renovated kitchen & bathrooms • Bifolds at both ends merge interiors with wide entertaining decks • Wide plank flooring, combustion fireplace and air conditioning • Low maintenance level lawn of the rear patio for the kids to play • Heated mineral pool and jacuzzi spa plus superb native gardens • Deluxe kitchen: imported tiles, stone benches, induction cooktop • Views from every bedroom, with two fitted with walk-in wardrobes • Versatile dual-level layout with rumpus or 4th bedroom on lower level • Unbeatable location – moments to shops, schools, cafes and beach
