This impressive residence is a substantial family home characterized by grand proportions and offering exceptional flexibility and comfort for growing families. The property comprises five spacious bedrooms and four generously sized living areas, alongside a dedicated study, making it an ideal choice for family living with abundant space to spread out.

Located slightly over one kilometre from Portarlington's vibrant retail and café area and similarly close to the bay with its safe swimming beaches and scenic foreshore walking trails, this home delivers convenient and relaxed seaside living. The locality of Portarlington is known for its coastal charm, strong community vibe, and access to the Bellarine Peninsula’s acclaimed wineries, restaurants, and artisan producers. Additionally, residents enjoy seamless connectivity to Melbourne via the Portarlington–Melbourne ferry.

The home spans two thoughtfully designed levels. On the upper floor, the heart of the home is a vast open-plan kitchen, dining, and living zone that benefits from stunning views across Port Phillip Bay. Timber floorboards flow throughout, contrasting tastefully with a soft neutral colour scheme, creating a modern coastal ambiance ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Sliding doors open onto a wrap-around balcony that offers an enviable vantage point to observe the ever-changing bay activity.

The kitchen includes generous bench space and well-planned storage solutions, ensuring practicality. Reverse-cycle air-conditioning ensures comfort throughout the seasons. The upper level also features a private master retreat with built-in robes, a stylish ensuite, and calming bay views.

The lower level continues to impress with three additional living areas. A spacious family room opens through sliding doors to an expansive alfresco zone, which is excellently appointed and includes an outdoor kitchen. The alfresco area connects seamlessly to the carport and an additional undercover, decked entertaining space, forming a large, weather-protected environment perfect for hosting gatherings.

A versatile rumpus room, presently used as a billiard room, has flexible potential as a formal entertaining area, media room, or creative retreat. The home also features a generously sized bar designed to accommodate large or small groups, and a dedicated study space suitable for working from home.

Four bedrooms are situated on the lower floor, three of which have built-in robes. These are serviced by a central bathroom equipped with a spa bath, offering a relaxing space to unwind daily.

Parking is ample, featuring a triple lock-up garage complemented by a single carport. The yard is ultra-low-maintenance and enhanced by manicured garden beds that provide greenery without the burden of extensive upkeep.

This home offers an exceptional combination of space, style, comfort, and coastal convenience, representing a rare opportunity to secure a lifestyle-oriented residence in one of the Bellarine Peninsula’s most desirable seaside communities.
