Just a few minutes' walk from the surf, this exceptional north facing, four-bedroom Surf Beach residence offers an enviable coastal lifestyle, where morning walks along the shoreline and evenings by the ocean can become part of everyday life. This property brings together bespoke design, outstanding craftsmanship and effortless coastal living.
Set on a generous 821m² allotment, this custom-designed home was built by acclaimed, award-winning local builder Bob Matthews, presenting a rare opportunity to secure the quality, attention to detail and refined finishes associated with his prestigious residential projects, complemented by an extraordinary American-style barn.
From its impressive entertainer's kitchen with a striking three-metre stone benchtop to its generous 2.7-metre ceilings, premium finishes and expansive indoor-outdoor living spaces, every detail reflects exceptional craftsmanship and thoughtful design.
Thoughtfully Designed, Beautifully Executed
At the heart of the home, an impressive open-plan living and dining area showcases burnished concrete floors, a welcoming fireplace and two expansive sets of bi-fold doors. Opening onto north-facing front decking and a separate south-facing rear deck, these spaces create an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living, inviting natural light, fresh coastal air and year-round entertaining.
The beautifully appointed kitchen makes a striking statement with its substantial three-metre stone benchtop, custom cabinetry by South Coast Kitchens, premium Blum soft-close fittings and 900mm gas cooking appliances. Combining generous preparation space with refined finishes, it forms the centrepiece of everyday living and entertaining.
Accommodation comprises four bedrooms, including a versatile fourth bedroom ideally suited to a dedicated home office or study. The main bedroom features a private ensuite and walk-in robe, while a generously appointed family bathroom offers both a separate bathtub and shower.
Architectural detailing continues throughout with ceiling-hung, soft-close cavity sliding doors featuring imported Japanese handles, double-glazed windows, quality fixtures and fittings, integrated storage and a discreet European laundry.
An Extraordinary Barn with Endless Possibilities
Beyond the residence, an impressive 9m x 9m American-style barn sets this property apart. Much more than a conventional garage or workshop, this substantial second building features an air-conditioned mezzanine office, kitchenette, second laundry, toilet, dedicated home gym and workspace, two electric roller doors and a hot-and-cold outdoor shower. Its exceptional scale and versatility create opportunities for a workshop, creative studio, home office, fitness space or secure storage for vehicles, boats, caravans and recreational equipment.
Private Outdoor Living
A bespoke stone-paved courtyard and intimate seating area offer an inviting space for relaxed gatherings, while the generous grounds provide room to enjoy the outdoors without demanding extensive maintenance.
Fully fenced boundaries, established bamboo screening and a motorised entrance gate enhance privacy, security and convenience, creating a peaceful retreat within Surf Beach's relaxed coastal setting.
A Distinctive Coastal Opportunity
Combining the craftsmanship of a respected custom builder, sophisticated finishes, four-bedroom family accommodation and an exceptionally versatile barn, 27 Tolley Avenue is far more than a conventional coastal home.
For those who appreciate thoughtful design, enduring quality and the freedom to live, work and entertain on their own terms, this is an exceptional opportunity to experience a truly distinctive Phillip Island property.
