With a rear gate offering unfettered access to a beach-bound path and fronting a tranquil creek reserve, this chic coastal retreat in the sleepy seaside hamlet of Balnarring Beach is a golden opportunity for retirement or family living with style and flair or idyllic escapes to this fiercely-held patch of peninsula paradise.

Set on 889sqm (approx.) with a sunny northerly aspect and behind pretty flowering gardens, the beautifully refurbished four-bedroom home is just an easy walk to the general store for the weekend papers and your coffee fix or a pleasant stroll along one of Western Port Bay’s most pristine beaches to Somers.

A sun-kissed interior, where brilliant use of colour creates a different mood in every room, sets the scene for lazy days by the bay, while a flexible floor plan delivers spacious living and the option of a cosy TV room, study or fourth bedroom if required.

The heart of the home is a family-sized kitchen with dishwasher and large walk-in pantry for all your holiday provisions, while the adjacent dining room connects to an large covered alfresco deck for those endless summer barbecues.

The master bedroom has a walk-in robe and stylish ensuite, while two more bedrooms are well served by a bright family bathroom. An additional bathroom located off the laundry is a welcome inclusion, creating a one stop shop for rinsing off sandy feet and tossing the togs and towels in the wash.

The home also includes ducted heating, reverse-cycle airconditioning, rainwater tanks, a thriving vegetable patch and a driveway that leads past the home to a double garage, carport and workshop.
