297 Melbourne Road, Blairgowrie VIC 3942

Within walking distance of Pearse's Beach and the magical coastal trails that wend their way to beautiful Bridgewater Bay, this two-storey coastal home on 883sqm (approx.) has been tastefully refurbished to create your own private surfside sanctuary. Almost hidden from view, with the entrance via Pearse Road, a service road and mature gardens creating a dense natural buffer, this is the ideal antidote to the bustle of the big smoke where you can relax and unwind, start the day with a surf or a swim then head to the village for a leisurely late brunch at your favourite seaside cafe. With four bedrooms providing loads of accommodation, living areas on both levels and a smart stone-topped kitchen equipped with modern stainless steel appliances, there's no need to compromise on creature comforts while you soak up the serenity and salty sea air. Upstairs, an open-plan layout, opening to both front and back decks, is flooded with wonderful natural light while a gas log fire offers instant ambiance, the sunny rear deck taking in views towards the back beach. Extras here include two bathrooms (main with soothing spa bath), reverse-cycle airconditioning, landscaped gardens, bore water, a handy outdoor shower and secure parking for up to four cars.
