This characterful property in old Ocean Grove is one of the oldest homes on the Bellarine Peninsula! Built in the 1890s, and boasting heritage significance, this charming home was the first substantial brick home constructed in the town. Set 2 blocks from The Terrace shops and within a short walk of the beach, this special 5-bedroom home is both convenient and unique.
Pretty multicolour bricks and iron lacework form an impressive facade. Inside, the original floor plan houses the bedrooms, all budding off a grand central hallway that showcases soaring ceilings, decretive plaster and ornate mouldings. Three of the 5 bedrooms are generously proportioned with fireplaces. The remaining 2 are single in size and suitable as an office, nursery or toy room. A bathroom containing a claw-foot bath and heritage-style vanity complete the heritage floor plan.
A modern extension flows toward the rear and is sympathetic to the facade. The extension includes; a country-style kitchen with Bosch appliances, a huge octagonal living area under a vaulted ceiling with impressive fireplace and French doors to the garden, and a family bathroom with spa bath and shower. This contemporary addition enhances the functionality of the home providing a light-filled space for family-fun and entertaining. Central heating throughout.
The generous 815m2 approx corner allotment enhances outdoor privacy. The north-facing backyard features an elegantly paved entertaining area and detached double garage with access to Eggleston Street. There is plenty of secure parking for toys.
