Modern rustic style just steps from beach

With the sounds and smell of the sea in the air and a modern twist on rustic flair, this three-bedroom contemporary log cabin offers gorgeous seaside ambience and sensational use of space just doors from long and picturesque Merricks Beach.

Bordered by native gardens and with a beautiful northerly aspect over sweeping lawns, the home on 930sqm (approx.) is cleverly designed with an exterior that merges with the natural landscape and an interior that provides modern style and comfort, while elaborate turret-style skylights over the living areas bring sunlight flooding in.

A busy Melbournian’s ideal seaside escape just 200m from the sparkling waters edge, an easy stroll to golden coast trails, the yacht club and Bill Carroll Reserve, the home is brilliant for its simplicity with parents and children or guests at either end of the home each with their own living areas and bathroom facilities.

The main lounge has a crackling fireplace, an adjoining dining room is flanked in glass, while a central kitchen is the highest quality with stone benchtops, Miele dishwasher and Smeg appliances.

A long shady verandah overlooking the gardens provides a magical spot to entertain or enjoy the outdoors, or take your summer dinner parties out onto the lawns.

Other extras include an outdoor shower, ample space for a boat or caravan, a large storage shed for bikes and more, a garden shed and large water tank.
