27 Stanley Street, Black Rock, Vic 3193

Elegantly styled, expansively accommodating, this is beachside family living on a grand scale. High on the hill above the bay and Black Rock Village, this substantial period-inspired home offers superbly spacious five bedroom, 2.5 bathroom, multi-living accommodation beneath its high-gabled terracotta roofline.

Styled inside and out with an eye to tradition, this grand two-storey home offers an abundance of living space with a classic formal lounge, separate dining (perfect as a more modern media-lounge) and a vast family living/dining oriented to north sun. With a ground-floor home-office perfect as fifth bedroom, this elegant home is steps up to a dedicated sleeping level fronted by a full-width balconied bay-view master domain with ensuite, dressing room and room to retreat.

Sized up with an expansive loft, the home has all the contemporary conveniences including ducted heating, cooling, and vacuum, alarm, laundry shute and drying cupboard, and at least three car garaging. But it is the timeless design elements that modern families love (including an impressive open-fireplace for the formal lounge, a gracious bay-window for casual living and airy celling fans) that really set this home apart.

With the bay in view, the Village and Black Rock Primary within a stroll, this is a grand family classic for a new age of beachside living.
