Sandy feet, salty hair, and a lifetime of summers; this freshly updated four bedroom plus study beach house preserves the laidback soul of holidays past while introducing the comfort and functionality modern families desire.
Set on a generous 834sqm block with a north-to-rear aspect and easy indoor-outdoor flow, it's equally suited to long summer escapes or year-round living, just footsteps from Ocean Grove's school and sporting precinct.
A brick façade and low-slung roofline set the scene for a freshly painted single-level layout, where exposed beams, VJ panelling and coloured glass detail nod to the home's origins.
Two distinct living zones offer room to spread out, while the wraparound kitchen is made for feeding a crowd, with a Blanco 900mm oven, Sôlt dishwasher and walk-in pantry.
Walls of glass slide open to a covered alfresco pavilion and elevated deck, a spacious, all-season spot for firing up the barbecue or sharing end-of-day drinks while the kids and pets play in the sunny, private backyard.
When quiet time beckons, the four bedrooms are grouped together in the rear wing. The main has a walk-in robe and refreshed ensuite, while three junior bedrooms with built-in robes share a bright, breezy bathroom with a separate WC.
At the front of the home, the study has its own entrance and a beautiful bay window, providing fantastic flexibility as a home office, additional living zone, or overflow guest accommodation.
With split system heating and cooling ensuring year round comfort, and a 16 panel solar electricity system helping to keep running costs delightfully low, the home is further enhanced by substantial parking options, including a three car garage (or DLUG with a generous rear workshop space) plus a single carport.
Surf beaches and walking trails are a short drive away, the town centre is close by, and the wineries and restaurants of the Bellarine are a pleasant drive further. Pack the car, kick off your shoes, and start your next chapter.
