This may look like a quaint Victorian cottage style home from the street and in some ways, this assumption is correct. Its facade is quaint and it is built in a Victorian style with internal detailing to match, however, it is far from the small home you may be expecting and, in fact, has more than a few pleasant surprises up its pretty sleeves!
The wide entrance hall with its classic arch offers access to both the master bedroom (with bay window, huge WIR, ensuite and air conditioning) and formal lounge/dining (with gas log fireplace and direct access to the kitchen) as well as the large central living area. Here, the lover of cooking will be delighted with the size and layout of the timber kitchen overlooking a further meals and family room adjacent the decked alfresco.
Leading through to the minor bedrooms, there is actually nothing minor about them. Two bedrooms with BIRs are quite enormous and enjoy an outlook over the garden whilst being serviced by a practical bathroom with separate WC and large laundry.
Finished in a cottage style, the timber dado and ceiling paneling lends warmth to the home and makes even the biggest rooms feel cosy and inviting. Ducted central heating and vacuum throughout provide comfort and easy cleaning but it is the double hung colonial windows, high ceilings and Victorian cornicing that fill the home with character that is difficult to find in more modern homes.
Built on an undulating block in a highly desirable Old Ocean Grove location, the tree lined street is devoid of traffic noise, but filled with the sounds of nature that we hope to hear being so close to the beach. The irregularity of the landscape also allows for interesting changes in level that automatically create separate zones or rooms in the garden. With brick paved paths leading to the lower area behind the double garage, a rear roller door enables secure storage of recreational vehicles with the highest level at the rear of the allotment perfect for catching the sun. It is the middle ground that provides the greatest treasure though.
Ideal for guests, extended family or older children, the self-contained annex has been constructed in a style that perfectly complements the main house. Comprising an open living area on the ground floor with small kitchen, shower room, WC and laundry facility, the upper level offers a spacious bedroom with BIRs and lovely garden views. Perhaps you have a hobby and this could be your dream studio? Perhaps you have always dreamed of running a small holiday let business or B&B? However you decide to utilise this space, it is a welcome bonus to an already appealing property in a prime location that just asks you to give it a little of your time and love.
