So close to the powder-soft sands of Balnarring Beach that you can walk there barefoot down a neighbouring trail, this adorable four-bedroom home exudes sweet country charm in a beachside location that’s hard to beat.

A wonderful retreat for permanent or part-time living nestled on a leafy 573sqm (approx) garden block, the two-storey residence offers surprising spaciousness with multiple indoor and outdoor living and living and entertaining zones for effortless comfort and laidback barbecues.

Two expansive living zones on the lower level comprise a plush living and dining area with atmospheric wood-burning heater, as well as a gorgeous family living room under high cathedral ceilings, while a central kitchen has sliding colonial doors opening to the alfresco patio with both sheltered and sunny options for all-weather enjoyment.

Sleeping quarters on the upper level including a sun-filled master with dressing room, private ensuite and double doors opening onto a wraparound balcony set among the treetops, while two additional bathrooms have family needs covered after lazy days in the sand and frolicking with the dolphins that frequent this part of Western Port.

A sanctuary as is, or absolutely primo site to build a contemporary coastal home in keeping with some of the surrounding allotments. The property includes a dishwasher, carport, surfboard shelter, rainwater tank, veggie bed and native garden.
