A tranquil beachside retreat far from the madding crowd – that’s what’s on offer with this delightful character-filled home little more than a stone’s throw from the Esplanade at Aldinga.

The property exudes a relaxing, welcoming ambiance, with the 730m2 fully fenced corner block including a choice of pleasant entertaining spaces that extend the living space well beyond the walls of the two-bedroom house.

An entry room with a door featuring a colourful stained-glass window depicting an idyllic ocean scene leads to the large, light-filled open-plan living/dining/family area at the front of the home. Fully tiled, this space incorporates a practical kitchen with electric cooker and plenty of cupboards. There is also ducted, reverse-cycle air-conditioning throughout.

At the rear of the home are the tiled bathroom (with spa bath, shower and separate toilet), laundry, and two bedrooms with glass sliding doors which open to a huge pergola. Ferns and other plantings give a tropical feel to this area, which is ideal for all-weather family living and entertaining.

One side of the expansive backyard features decking, a small lawn, vegie patch, fragrant lavender bushes and a decorative garden arch – a sweet spot for a love seat and a little quiet contemplation. On the opposite side of the pergola, a large paved area offers ample parking space for vehicles. There’s even an outdoor shower so you can wash off the sand after a day at the beach – and there’s likely to be plenty of those when you escape the hustle and bustle to make this heavenly haven your new home.
