13 Seaview Avenue, Barwon Heads VIC 3227

Theres something very nautical about this uniquely-designed, 4-bedroom home - just a stones throw from the Ozone Road pier and the beautiful Barwon River. From the gangplank-like entrance deck with its rope balustrades, to the top decks on the third level with their spectacular river and sea views, you really feel as if youre aboard a mighty river boat. The entrance opens to a generous lounge/entertainment room on one side and a kitchen/dining area on the other, with polished timber floors and abundant light. The kitchen boasts a granite benchtop, a ceramic cooktop and a new AEG self-cleaning oven, a Vulcan Dishlex dishwasher, and a large walk-in pantry. The dining area enjoys northern sunshine, with an additional sitting area. A sliding door from the kitchen leads to the paved patio thats a natural suntrap and alfresco dining destination. The laundry provides access to the double lock-up garage, with mezzanine level storage, and to a powder room. On the first level, the master bedroom has a smart ensuite and walk-in robe, as well as its own balcony with river views. Two large bedrooms, each with fitted robes, share a second bathroom, and an additional bedroom/study, with a large storage cupboard, completes the first level. Up another flight of stairs and you reach a very funky entertainment/bar area with a sliding door to two levels of decks - both with panoramic river views. Heating is provided by a new gas heater and a slow-combustion wood fire in the lounge, supplemented, if necessary, by electric wall panels. Theres also a ducted vacuum system throughout. Sitting proudly in its prime location near the river, youre also within easy walking distance to the main street shops, cafes and restaurants. This is a character-filled, one-off home that demands inspection.
