With four living areas, four bedrooms, north-facing living zone and entertainer’s deck, plus a solar-heated pool, it’s cleverly designed for fine family living.

The adjoining living area, bathed in natural light and with a gas fireplace, accommodates a full-size dining table and multiple sofas for family-friendly time and guest get-togethers.

A wall of glass doors open onto the deck with BBQ, and abundant alfresco living and dining space looking across the resort-style pool with poolside studio.

For formal occasions and quiet time, retire to the front dining room and lounge/sitting room, both with original fireplaces.

Three bedrooms are located on the ground level, sharing a striking contemporary bathroom with deep soaker tub, over-size walk-in shower and floor-to-ceiling tiles.

The master suite enjoys its own private retreat upstairs including two walk-in robes, designer ensuite, large home office featuring in-built desks and storage and a north-facing lounge with banks of window seating and treetop views to Corio Bay and beyond.

A triple garage with hoist and workshop space provides secure parking accessed from the rear of the property, with an additional parking space and electric gate at the front.

Updated for a modern lifestyle, the weatherboard home also retains an array of character features including leadlight windows, timber-panelled ceilings, hall feature arch, fireplaces and decorative mantelpieces and wrap-around verandah.
