78 Tallean Road, Nelson Bay, NSW 2315

Located in a leafy and peaceful street, this well-loved family home is on the market for the first time since the early 1980s. After many cherished years, the owners have decided to downsize, presenting you with a rare opportunity to secure a family home on a generous block in a quiet, tightly held neighborhood.

Step past the landscaped front gardens and into the welcoming formal entry. Adjacent to the entry is a spacious formal living room, where plantation shutters provide privacy without compromising the serene bushland outlook across the road. From here, the home opens into a generous open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area that seamlessly flows out to the rear patio-perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining.

On the eastern wing, you'll find a bedroom with a built-in robe and an office or nursery. This space could easily be converted into an ensuite or walk-in robe to create a private master retreat. The opposite wing hosts three more generously sized bedrooms, all with built-in robes, alongside a two-way bathroom and a laundry with direct access to the rear yard.

The backyard offers privacy and stunning mountain and tree views, creating a tranquil setting to relax and entertain. A large, freestanding cabana sits beside the sun-drenched inground pool-a feature sure to delight children and grandchildren alike. Beyond the pool, the sloping gardens and grassy areas offer ample space for additional possibilities, such as a granny flat*, a second cabana, a cozy firepit area, or thriving vegetable gardens. The elevated rear outlook frames a picturesque view over the home and the bushland opposite.

Practicality meets convenience with a wide 30-meter (approx.) frontage, a spacious flat driveway, and a double garage. An additional hardstand area alongside the garage provides ample space for a caravan, boat, or extra vehicles. There is a large solar array of 24 panels that will keep operating costs for all the air-conditioning units and the pool to a minimum. 

Perfectly positioned for coastal living, the home is just minutes from Salamander Bay Shopping Centre, local public and private schools, and several pristine beaches. Head in the other direction, and you'll reach Nelson Bay CBD, with its vibrant dining, shopping, and more beautiful beaches. Enjoy endless water activities, scenic nature walks, and the breathtaking natural surroundings that Port Stephens offers.

Whether you're searching for a family home, holiday retreat, or investment opportunity, this property offers endless potential to suit your vision. Move in and enjoy it as-is, renovate to add your personal touch, or explore its promising development possibilities. Your dream coastal lifestyle awaits.
