74 Bayview Road, Balnarring Beach, Vic 3926

Moments from the crystal clear waters and gorgeous sandy shoreline of boutique Balnarring Beach, this unique Fasham Johnson designed 3-4 bedroom home presents a fabulous opportunity to value-add or simply enjoy the perfect beachside lifestyle.

This is blue-chip buying on the peninsula's quiet side with miles of golden shoreline to explore and none of the hordes that descend on many peninsula beaches in summer. Here you can enjoy memorable family holidays or make this your permanent beachside escape with the brilliant bonus of a track to the water directly across the road.

Set on a generous 976 sqm (approx.) block with well-tended mature native gardens to the rear, there is obvious scope to close in an extensive under house area that currently provides a double carport and lock-up workshop but there’s already loads of living space to enjoy.

A large rumpus or games room at entry level has access to a shower and toilet, making it ideal to serve double duty as a bunkroom for overflow accommodation during summer, while a clever wood heater in the entry foyer has an extra-tall flue that provides wonderful heating over the cooler months.

Upstairs, entertaining is a breeze with the generous formal lounge and dining room, well complemented by an open-plan family living and meals under a raked timber ceiling with light-catching clerestory windows.

The original kitchen has a workhorse St George upright oven and older style Miele dishwasher, while sliding doors encourage casual meals on the deck under the jasmine vines.

The master bedroom has built-in robes and direct access to the main bathroom shared with two more comfortable bedrooms, both with built-in robes.

With all mains services available to the property, extras here include reverse-cycle airconditioning, a paved rear patio, brick barbecue and handy garden shed.
