Perched in a prestigious dress circle location, this 1970s coastal residence showcases uninterrupted ocean views stretching from Point Lonsdale lighthouse to Barwon Heads Bluff. The position offers a rare combination of relaxed character and exciting potential, with ample scope to either renovate the charming classic home or pursue a compelling new development opportunity, subject to council approval.

The property sits on a sizeable 880sqm allotment, complete with private access to Orton Street and a beach track just 200 meters away, catering to a lifestyle of easy sea access. Its proximity to The Terrace's vibrant cafés and shops also enhances the appeal for those valuing convenience alongside seaside tranquility.

The interior reflects the home's era with warm timber and brick elements, exposed beams, and high ceilings, notably featuring a distinctive retro pink bathroom that adds original charm. Elevated living zones on the upper floor connect directly to a balcony designed for capturing stunning ocean vistas and spectacular sunsets, while a north-facing courtyard provides a sheltered outdoor space perfect for family gatherings or quiet relaxation.

Additional living spaces include a glass-enclosed sunroom ideal for morning coffee rituals and a large downstairs rumpus room with kitchenette, which greatly enhances the versatility for entertainment or accommodating guests during holiday seasons.

The main bedroom is thoughtfully positioned upstairs to optimize views and privacy, complemented by an ensuite and walk-in robe with balcony access. With a total of four bedrooms, all featuring built-in storage, and bathrooms on both levels, this home comfortably accommodates families or groups.

Modern comforts such as ducted heating and split-system air conditioning ensure year-round livability, while parking needs are met with a double carport and additional off-street spaces.
