rivately set back from the road on a deep, gently sloping 1,671m² (approx.) allotment, this characterfilled coastal home combines generous living spaces with bay views, established gardens and superb potential to further enhance or extend (STCA). A long driveway winds past sweeping lawns and mature trees to the wide front verandah, where the home's classic façade and elevated aspect immediately set a relaxed peninsula tone.
The entry opens into a large living and dining zone stretching through the centre of the home, with polished timber floors, feature wall panelling creating a warm focal point for everyday living and entertaining. Adjacent is a spacious kitchen and meals area with excellent natural light and storage, which flows directly to the covered rear verandah and paved patio, making indooroutdoor living effortless. On this level you'll also find two bedrooms, a family bathroom with separate bath and shower, a separate toilet, and a practical laundry, plus an additional living room at the eastern end that enjoys its own outlook to the garden and access to the verandah ideal as a rumpus, home office or media room.
Upstairs is a dedicated parents' retreat that captures the very best of the bay and coastline views. A large bedroom with walkin robe and ensuite is paired with an adjoining sunroom that works beautifully as a private sitting room or study, opening onto a wide balcony that spans the front of the home. From here you can soak up the everchanging water views, watch ships move across the bay and enjoy sea breezes from sunrise to sunset.
Outdoors, the sheer depth of the block really comes into its own. Broad lawns step down to a more natural, leafy rear garden, offering a wonderful environment for children, pets and keen gardeners, with ample room for a pool, further landscaping or a future extension if desired (STCA). A freestanding bungalow, positioned toward the rear and accompanied by a classic caravan and nearby shed, provides flexible options for hobby spaces, a studio, teen hangout or extra storage rather than formal additional accommodation. Extensive parking is catered for with a double carport under the upper deck, abundant turning space and room for boats, caravans or trailers.
From this peaceful hillside position you're within easy reach of McCrae's foreshore and lighthouse, the café strip, Rosebud Plaza, schools and freeway access, as well as the walking trails and attractions of Arthurs Seat State Park. Comfortable to enjoy as is, yet brimming with opportunity for a stylish update or longterm redevelopment, this warmly remembered coastal home delivers scale, privacy and bay views in a highly soughtafter pocket.
