2 London Bridge Road, Portsea VIC 3944

Built by famed house designer Alistair Knox from bluestone and cedar with the roar of the surf in the background and Portsea Golf Club just a five-iron away, this piece of classic Australian architecture has a relaxed holiday mood all of its own. Set on 1150 sqm (approx.) with a tennis court and sun-drenched alfresco terrace, the four-bedroom residence offers an amazing connection with its surroundings featuring large windows and French doors drawing the outside in during summer, while in winter a spectacular open fireplace is the centrepiece in the open plan living area. Rugged exposed timber beams, highlight windows and cooling slate-tiled floors also add to the home\'s ambiance and fantastic sense of solidity. The original cedar kitchen includes an electric stove, dishwasher and ample bench and cupboard space, the master bedroom has an ensuite and doors out to the paved north-facing terrace and three other bedrooms include one that could be used as a home office or television area for children with its own separate entrance. Within easy walking distance of the surf club and a little further to the front beach and village, peace, privacy and a slice of contemporary architecture can be yours.
