Enjoy boutique beach breaks or your own permanent patch of peninsula paradise with this this instantly appealing 3BR limestone home ideally situated just minutes' walk along scenic coastal tracks to Blairgowrie's beautiful Bridgewater Bay. Set among low-maintenance gardens on an easy come, easy go 702sqm (approx.) block, this is the ideal weekend escape package or low maintenance retirement option, complete with a bonus bungalow and sunny rear deck to soak up the serenity. Less than 2km walk to Blairgowrie village and the gentle waters of the bay, from here you can enjoy the best of both worlds - a bracing walk on the wild side, then strike out for the seaside shops and cafes for a lazy latte or leisurely long lunch. Beyond a wide return verandah, timber dado panelling and decorative fretwork provide a traditional welcome in the entry hall, while to the right a relaxed formal lounge enjoys wonderful natural light. Polished timber floors anchor open-plan family living centred around an efficient kitchen with upright oven and dishwasher, while sliding doors extend the living out onto the deck. The master bedroom has a walk-in robe and neat ensuite, while two more bedrooms, both with built-in robes, share the main bathroom.
