Cradled in the bowl of a sleepy seaside court barely 300m from the iconic Birdrock Beach steps, this substantial three or four bedroom home provides the perfect platform for handy buyer’s looking to value-add in this boutique beachside spot.

Partially renovated on a good-sized 823m² (approx.) block, you’re off to a flying start with some big ticket items including a sleek stone-topped kitchen, sparkling inground pool, Colorbond roof and two fabulous entertaining areas already ticked off the list.

So now the choice is yours, move in and continue to capitalise with some straightforward cosmetic updates, take advantage of plans in hand for a smart single level extension or perhaps explore the potential to build up for beautiful bay views.

Giving little away from the street, inspection reveals a timeless design for practical family living, easily tweaked for a perfect fit.

Lovely original timber floors await sanding and sealing in the main living room, while a glowing gas log fire delivers instant winter ambiance and sliding doors encourage an easy indoor/outdoor lifestyle thanks to the huge all-weather entertaining deck overlooking the pool.

The open-plan kitchen and family dining area extends to a second undercover area perfect for casual meals alfresco, while the sleek stone-topped kitchen boasts gleaming cabinetry and top shelf appliances include a Smeg cooktop and oven plus stainless steel Bosch dishwasher.

Existing accommodation is by way of three comfortable bedrooms, all with built in robes, while the family bathroom with adjacent second shower will respond beautifully to a modern makeover.

Adding further flexibility to the floorplan is the option of a guest/fourth bedroom, study or kids’ TV lounge/playroom just off the dining area.

A couple of minutes by car or a picturesque stroll along the coastal walk to Mt Martha Village and Balcombe Estuary, here you are handy to the popular Dava Hotel for drinks on the deck and moments from a choice of great schools including popular Osborne Primary School and Balcombe Grammar.

Extras include gas ducted heating, reverse-cycle airconditioning, mains gas to barbecue area and a freestanding garage.
