Paying homage to boat shed style homes of the past, while remaining firmly grounded in 21st century design and comfort, this breezy coastal sanctuary is the stuff beach house dreams are made of.
Mere footsteps to the river and a blissful stroll along the boardwalk to the village, the residence was designed by internationally-renowned environmental architect Dr Phillip Roös to sit seamlessly within its lush, natural landscape.
Totally private behind an external barn door, serene spaces of calm and warmth are set up for effortless daily life, welcoming residents into a beautifully zoned layout with a superb focus on indoor-outdoor connection.
Pitched, timber-lined ceilings, exposed beams, and concrete flooring capture the essence of relaxed beachside style over a pavilion-inspired design, superbly appointed for laidback permanent living or comfortable weekend escapes with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and dual living zones.
At the heart of the home, an open plan family hub invites winter relaxation beside a wood burning fire, where a feature wall crafted from timber salvaged from the old St Kilda pier brings organic warmth and textural interest.
Through north-facing stacker doors, the space flows to a central alfresco deck, offering substantial room to entertain and unwind against a backdrop of beautifully landscaped internal gardens and outwards to the surrounding native Moonahs.
The all-electric kitchen is impressively equipped with near-new 900mm Fisher & Paykel oven with induction cooktop and Bosch dishwasher, dressed in chic stone finishes, and centred around a moveable island bench.
Three robed bedrooms are thoughtfully zoned, including the main with a full ensuite, while a separate second living zone adds to the appeal, offering flexibility to function as a private studio, generous home office, or fourth bedroom.
Thoughtfully equipped for easy-care living with double glazing, 12-panel solar system, generous rainwater storage, expansive edible gardens, and an outdoor shower for post beach refreshment, this is an exciting opportunity to purchase in a prestigious cul-de-sac, nestled amongst the stunning natural assets of the Moonah Reserve and Barwon Estuary.
