Overview

Front row, no filter

There’s something quietly special about life on the water - the way the day slows, the view constantly changes, and family time naturally takes centre stage. Elevated and private, with sweeping views across the inner harbour, this is a property where days unfold slowly and weekends feel like a permanent holiday. The heart of the home is its light-filled, open-plan living zone, thoughtfully arranged to make the most of the outlook. The kitchen is spacious, bright, and highly practical, with a handy breakfast bar for quick meals or homework sessions. Clear sightlines draw the eye straight across the dining space and out to the harbour beyond - a view best enjoyed seated at the table, coffee in hand. Just off the dining area, the office is cleverly positioned - accessible from both the kitchen and the covered deck, with a large open window connecting it visually back to the main living space. It’s ideal for working from home while still feeling part of the action. From the dining area, the home gently steps down into the main living room, creating subtle separation while maintaining a sense of togetherness - ideal for family life and entertaining alike. High-stud ceilings and expansive glazing flood the space with light. A wood burner anchors the living area, making this a home that’s just as inviting in winter as it is in summer. Slide open the ranch slider and the home opens to the deck and pool area - a space that truly shines. Positioned on the harbour side of the property, the swimming pool enjoys uninterrupted water views, making summer days feel like a holiday at home. Whether its kids splashing while dinner sizzles on the barbecue, or an evening dip as the light softens over the water, this is outdoor living done right. Accommodation is well separated from the living areas, creating a peaceful retreat at the other end of the home. The master suite is generous and light-filled, featuring sarked ceilings, extensive glazing, and a spacious ensuite. Three additional bedrooms are equally well-proportioned, two with sliding door access to the outdoors, and serviced with ease by a modern family bathroom. Practicality hasn’t been overlooked. The home offers two-car garaging - a single internal-access garage plus a detached garage with a large storage room, ideal for tools, kayaks, paddleboards, bikes, or all the extras that come with waterfront living. Additional off-street parking ensures there’s room for visitors too. Set on a 769sqm (more or less) freehold site, zoned for Welcome Bay School and close to shops, transport, and an easy commute to the CBD, this is a home that balances lifestyle and convenience with ease. From launching kayaks at the water’s edge to long poolside afternoons and relaxed family dinners overlooking the harbour, 47 Forrester Drive is a place where memories are made - a waterfront home designed for living well, together.
