Filled with character and charm and offering a glimpse of the bay, escape to your own private weekend retreat with this solidly built and well-planned mud brick home on a generous allotment of 930sqm set beside a laneway that leads to the Merricks equestrian and walking trail.

Moments from the Red Hill South shops, wineries and restaurants, the superb three bedroom residence is just the place to relax and unwind after a busy week in the city, or perfect to experience peninsula life on a permanent basis.

Featuring a large open plan living area with raked ceilings, a cosy wood heater and doors onto a rear veranda and deck overlooking landscaped rear gardens, there is also a welcoming formal lounge that could be used as a children’s bunk room, and a handy study nook.

The large master bedroom has a retreat lounge area and ensuite and a guest bedroom is served by the main bathroom.

Rustic Baltic pine-lined and rendered interior walls, brick-paved floors in the main living area and timber windows all add to the wonderful earthy feel of the home while modern comforts include split-system airconditioning and stainless steel kitchen appliances. Also features two garden sheds for storage, studio, carport and off-street parking.
