The Agent Loves “What I love is the warmth this cottage has held onto through its renovation, from the timber floors to the easy connection between indoors and out. It has that lovely holiday-home feeling that makes a weekend visit turn into a conversation about staying for good.”

The Location North Arm Cove has a lovely tucked-away feel, offering a slower, more nature-led lifestyle surrounded by bushland, rolling countryside and the sparkling waterways of Port Stephens. Heros Bay adds to the village appeal with its shallow swimming cove, picnic area and family-friendly atmosphere, while nearby Tea Gardens and Hawks Nest make everyday essentials, cafés, dining and beautiful beaches easily accessible.

The Snapshot For retirees, downsizers or couples seeking a waterfront escape, the appeal is tangible: a renovated home, room for the toys and the water waiting at the end of the lawn. Enjoy it every day or return for weekends; 18 Cove Boulevard is a place to unpack, make yourself comfortable and let the shoreline be part of your routine.

The Home Coffee on the deck can turn into a morning paddle without ever reaching for the car keys at 18 Cove Boulevard. With absolute frontage to Port Stephens, an easterly aspect and 180-degree water views, this fully renovated cottage brings that possibility into everyday life. Across a 1,037sqm allotment, it pairs an intimate two-bedroom home with outdoor space and direct water access.

Inside, richly coloured polished timber floors give the fresh white interiors warmth and character. Large windows draw the outlook into the living and dining area, while sliding glass doors open to the elevated deck. The connection feels immediate: pull back the doors, settle in and watch the changing light move across the bay.

The new kitchen continues the coastal palette with timber benchtops, a white tiled splashback and open timber shelving. A pantry cupboard keeps essentials neatly tucked away, while the open layout means the cook remains part of the conversation.

Two bedrooms carry through the polished timber flooring, while the contemporary bathroom features a walk-in shower, complemented by a modern vanity and chrome fittings. Daikin reverse-cycle air conditioning, ceiling fans and new lighting complete the refreshed interiors.

Outside, the broad timber deck features cable balustrades that preserve the outlook, with stairs leading down to a level waterfront lawn. Established trees frame the view, while gardens, side privacy hedging and stone retaining features lend texture to the grounds. A paved entertaining area with a built-in rock barbecue adds another setting for relaxed gatherings.

Along the shoreline, a seawall and concrete slipway provide direct access for boating, kayaking or taking out the jet ski. Beneath the cottage, storage with waterside access doubles as a mini boathouse, keeping equipment conveniently positioned for the next outing. An outdoor shower makes rinsing off easy, and two rainwater tanks add practicality.

There is also space for a boat, caravan and additional vehicles, supported by concrete driveway access and pathways. A roadside slab provides parking, with scope to explore a future carport or garage, subject to approval.
