41 Old Bittern Dromana Road, Merricks North, Vic 3926

A rare entry level property in a Blue-Chip pocket, this single-level four-bedroom plus a study residence set on 1187sqm (approx.) is secluded in a quaint country lane with peaceful views over rolling hills and is only one of a handful of residential allotments in Merricks North.

Wrapped within low-maintenance landscaped gardens with two bountiful lemon trees and space to create your own veggie garden, this peaceful residence is elevated on the block opening it up to the views across surrounding acreage with grazing cows and bounding kangaroos in the distance.

A place of sanctuary with sun-filled refurbished interiors, this peaceful home promotes desirably low-maintenance living that is ideal as a permanent place of residence, idyllic weekend retreat only one hour's drive from Melbourne or profitable Airbnb in the heart of the hinterland's wedding precinct.

Gather fireside in winter in the cosy living room where the heat of the wood Coonara fireplace filters throughout the home. A separate dining room overlooks a front courtyard designed as a winter sun trap and sunny summer dining area with rural views complemented by a rear alfresco entertaining area overlooking a broad expanse of lawn with rear car access via double gates. Contemporary new flooring features in the functional kitchen that takes in views across the rear garden.

The four bedrooms, three with built-in robes, are all generous in size, and filled with morning sun along with a fitted study. A bright bathroom with separate toilet and an efficient separate laundry round out the interior.

The home is well-appointed with split-system air conditioning, panel heating, tandem carport, additional off-street parking for two cars, handy garden shed and ample water storage.

A carefree yet sizeable home in an enviable location, "Hillview" feels immersed in the country yet is located within a five-minute drive of Balnarring Shopping Village, Le Bouchon restaurant, Port Phillip Estate and Polpero Winery and a further five minutes to a choice of beautiful beaches from iconic Point Leo surf beach to secluded Merricks beach, Red Hill's Epicurean and village, and a choice of schools, world class golf courses, farm gates and Peninsula Link access all within a short radius.
