2 Reserve Road, Somers VIC 3927

Originally marketed in the 1920's and 30's as “The Promenade Estate – The finest seaside estate ever offered to the public - Melbourne's new seaside resort and pleasure ground.”

Today when I walked (50 paces) to the beach from #2 Reserve Rd - along the sandy track and looked west to the big sand bar near the creek, I thought to myself “this is my kinda place” – the rustic, period charm of the home and coastal gardens, and the beach so close. Perfect!

From the paved terrace to the covered deck that catches the north eastern sun you enter the home through double doors to the main living room that has a garden aspect to the north and is finished with wood fire, high ceilings, picture rails and seagrass matting.

The open plan dining / family room / kitchen with breakfast bar is older style, but neat tidy and well-maintained over the years plus there's a second wood fire to warm those chilly nights.

There are three bedrooms coming off the family room area with the generous main bedroom – ensuite and robes and a private door to the western deck. Bedroom two also has direct access to the deck and bedroom four is ideally located to be a great home office.

The gardens are informal coastal with a mix of native shrubs, coastal banksia's and bordered by a few tea-trees and some open grassed areas, and the mandatory lemon tree.

Apparently again from the 30's, “The motor road from Melbourne to Balnarring…is in perfect condition and affords a glorious run.”
