49 Halibut Avenue, Ocean Grove VIC 3226

This delightful, lovingly-maintained Ocean Grove home has a lot going for it. An elevated block, a beautiful established garden, a solid brick house with 2-storeys of ultra-comfortable living, a north-facing, sun-catching back terrace and garden - and that view south. Climbing up the meandering flagstone path, past flowering shrubs, you’re met by an impressive side entrance with a large portico. The inside foyer is a show of crafted timber - a high gabled ceiling with large beams and timber lining boards, and a splendid wooden spiral staircase with polished balustrades and banisters that leads to the downstairs level. The master bedroom offers superb ocean views - plus large mirrored, sliding doors to the BIR, and a light filled ensuite with shower, basin and stylish glass wall tiles. The long multi-level, living/dining/kitchen area has a lounge each end. Sliding doors to a south-facing deck reveal the perfect spot to sit back and enjoy the view - with a coffee or something with bubbles in it. The dining area enjoys views of the garden, while the compact kitchen has stone-topped benches, electric cooktop and oven, dishwasher, and a large pantry. The cosy northern lounge opens to a covered courtyard with table and benches ready for outdoor entertainment. The gas for the barbecue is connected to the house and the lovely back garden is a show of healthy greenery. A second bedroom has access to a bathroom with a shower and corner spa. Adjacent is an unusually large laundry with lots of storage space. Downstairs is a third bedroom, again with views, a bathroom with shower and vanity, a double garage - and a wine cellar. Temperature is controlled by ducted gas heating throughout, an open fire, and two split systems. This is a property with great character and situated in a prime position, close to all of Ocean Grove’s essential attractions.
