13 Barramundi Crescent, Ocean Grove VIC 3226

A captivating residence whose neatly presented street presence gives little indication of the abundant character within, this refreshed retro classic provides a superb three-bedroom plus study floorplan and separate bungalow that are perfectly in tune with modern family living.

Characteristic of its distinctive original architecture, soaring cathedral ceilings create an immediate sense of space and personality, as exposed brick walls and arched doorways and windows are combined with modern updates that ensure the home is as appealing today as in its late 20th century debut.

Spacious and comfortable, the main residence is introduced by a sunken lounge room with built-in bar – ideal for relaxed living and entertaining – interconnecting with the home’s original dining room that also effortlessly functions as a peaceful sitting room.

To the rear, a vast open plan living zone serves as a light-filled family hub where hardwood flooring, a high timber-lined ceiling, and expansive windows place an emphasis on bringing the outdoors in. An updated stone kitchen is fully equipped with Ilve freestanding oven and Asko dishwasher, as sliding doors enjoy seamless transitions to an outdoor deck and paved fire-pit area amidst landscaped coastal gardens.

Accommodation for the family includes main bedroom with walk-in robe, ensuite, and gorgeous northern light, plus two additional fitted bedrooms that share a split family bathroom. Offering broad appeal to older teens or potential to tap into the lucrative short-stay rental market, a separate bungalow comes complete with its own bathroom and built-in storage.

Coveted dual street access gifts abundant off-street parking including a double lock-up garage with built-in storage, plus a double car port with rear gated access for a trailer. Freshly painted and newly carpeted, the home’s additional highlights include a generous home office with its own entry, modern Euro laundry, split system heating and cooling to both living zones, gas wall heater, electric log fire, and wi-fi enabled security cameras.

The home’s appeal further extends to its popular family-friendly setting with almost instant access to the local school and sporting precinct, and public transport. It is also nearby to shopping centres and eateries and, when leisure calls, you can be on a choice of beautiful beaches within minutes.
