Overview

Nestled behind lush native greenery, this four-bedroom family home at 491 Settlement Road epitomizes relaxed modern coastal living with an emphasis on privacy and seamless connection to nature. The home's design thoughtfully captures the verdant surroundings, inviting generous natural light through expansive picture windows that frame tranquil green views from the main living and dining area.

The living space serves as the home’s central hub, enhanced by the warm ambiance of a freestanding wood-fire heater perfect for cozy winter nights alongside split-system heating and cooling for year-round comfort. The adjoining kitchen facilitates effortless interaction with the living areas, fostering a sociable atmosphere ideal for everyday family life and entertaining.

Sliding doors lead to an elevated timber deck, a standout feature for outdoor relaxation. Surrounded by mature trees, this serene space is perfect for quiet mornings, casual barbecues, or convivial gatherings overlooking the backyard.

An additional lounge at the front provides versatile living options, functioning as a secondary retreat for watching television or a safe play area for children, enhancing the home's adaptability to diverse family needs.

The thoughtfully distributed four bedrooms include a master suite with walk-in robe and private ensuite, while three further bedrooms share a family bathroom equipped with both bath and separate shower facilities, and a separate toilet. Practicality is further underscored by a dedicated laundry room with convenient outdoor access.

Externally, a long driveway alongside the house offers off-street parking with ample space to accommodate several vehicles, as well as larger recreational assets like boats or caravans, supporting a flexible lifestyle.

This property’s combination of indoor-outdoor living, functional spaces, and leafy privacy makes it well-suited for permanent family residence, a comfortable holiday home, or a sound investment opportunity on the scenic Victorian coastline.
