385 The Esplanade, St Leonards VIC 3223

Escape to paradise with this fabulous two-bedroom Esplanade property that is only a one minute walk to one of the best beaches on the Bellarine.

Offering the best of both worlds in this wonderfully quiet and secluded location and with views of Port Phillip Bay to the north-east, this home boasts an outlook that looks directly into the park reserve at the front of the property. Additionally, the property is backed by a rural property with delightful green rolling paddocks at the rear with glimpses of the salt lagoon to the south-west.

The home itself was built circa 1978 and retains many charming age-old characteristics from that era. The polished timber floorboards set the mood of the open-plan kitchen/dining/family area but the star of the home is the view of the bay and the park reserve at the front that eliminates the road noise from the Esplanade. The upstairs living space absorbs this bushland view through floor-to-ceiling windows that wrap around the eastern and northern side of the property. Sliding doors create a merge of indoor/outdoor living with the balcony that wraps around the front of the home providing a great space to relax in the sun. This dining/family area is heated and cooled using reverse-cycle air-conditioning.

Downstairs the home features a large rumpus/living room which also doubles up as a third bedroom. This space provides a great entertaining area or relaxation zone and the options are endless with this delightfully large space. The downstairs area is completed by a laundry, a shower with separate toilet and a store room with both internal and external access.

Upstairs the two double bedrooms each offer views of the bay, the bushland reserve or the rural land behind. One of the bedrooms contains built-in-robes and both are serviced by the original, vibrant bathroom.

Externally, the home features a single lock-up garage with internal access and low-maintenance gardens with mature trees creating a great place for a pleasant BBQ in the shade of the large gum trees.
