Not every coastal home needs to be grand to get it right. Set in a tranquil court directly opposite McCrae Foreshore and the Bay Trail, with the slopes of Arthurs Seat as a backdrop you'll never tire of, this single-level three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence is a masterclass in relaxed, low-maintenance Peninsula living designed for people who'd rather spend their weekends at the beach than on upkeep.
The home's rendered brick façade holds a north-facing position in the bowl of the court, with coastal landscaping framing a decked front verandah that sets the tone from the street. Inside, an extra-wide central hallway with timber plank flooring leads through to an open-plan living and entertaining zone, alongside a separate carpeted lounge with a gas log fire for cooler evenings. The kitchen, defined by an island bench and breakfast bar, is well equipped with a Westinghouse oven, gas cooktop and LG dishwasher, and flows into a family/meals area that opens via sliding doors to the rear alfresco deck where Arthurs Seat fills the view. The deck is part undercover and sunny, with an adjoining garden patch that's ideal for pets.
The main bedroom is zoned for privacy, with direct deck access, a walk-in robe and a stylishly updated tiled ensuite. Two further robed bedrooms including a front bedroom with its own French-door access to the verandah share an updated main bathroom with built-in tub and separate shower.
Practical extras round out the package: a full-size laundry with external access, generous built-in storage throughout, and an oversized double garage with remote door, workshop area, storage shelving and rear access genuinely useful space for tools, bikes or beach gear.
Walk to the beach. Walk to everything.
Positioned on the Rosebud/McCrae border, it's just 100 metres to McCrae beach, five minutes on foot to McCrae Plaza's shops, cafes and restaurants, and ten minutes to Rosebud Pier. Add easy freeway access for a 60-minute CBD commute, plus a short drive to the Peninsula's wineries, golf courses and ocean beaches and this is coastal living at its most livable.
A rare chance to be this close to the sand, without the price tag that usually comes with it.
