Over the years, the property has served as both our family home and a consistent short-term rental. It has been lived in and well loved: a home built for coastal living, showing the natural wear of nearly two decades. The house is offered with vacant possession and flexible settlement-meaning you can move straight in or start generating peak summer holiday income before Christmas. We're happy to discuss our historical gross revenue and how we achieved the results we did. Finally, you'll be in one of the friendliest streets in the country! We really look forward to hearing from you! John & Linnéa de Hosson
