54 Thacker Street, Ocean Grove VIC 3226

This well-kept, architecturally-designed home boasts views of the Bluff, Barwon River and Lake Connewarre, and on a clear day one can see across to Torquay and the Otways beyond. Surrounded by beautifully-maintained abundant gardens, this delightful double-storey home capitalises on its position with well-glazed open-plan living on the upper level and boasts a fabulous entertaining deck complete with six person spa.

Upstairs, hardwood timber flooring is welcoming underfoot and windows and glass sliders in every direction allow full appreciation of the home’s magnificent vista. Enjoy the outlook as you prepare meals in the well-equipped kitchen, or impress family and friends over happy hour when serving drinks from your very own bar! Split system air conditioning, a gas heater and ceiling fans contribute to year-round comfort.

To the front of the home, there’s a versatile office space (or fourth bedroom) with a peaceful garden aspect. Lower level bedrooms have soaring 9-foot ceilings, large built-in robes and dressing tables and share a handy kitchenette and a living space with direct garden access via a small verandah lined with wine barrels housing thriving citrus varieties.

Storage options are plentiful; there’s an indoor store room, concealed under-stair storage and a convenient outdoor storage room to stow away the gardening gear, bikes or beach paraphernalia. A double garage keeps cars secure, while the cleverly designed driveway allows for further off-street parking and gated vehicle access to the rear yard with space for a caravan or boat.

Surrounding gardens are a labour of love and include a well-curated combination of roses, lavender and camelias interspersed with veggies, a plum tree and callistemons to attract native birdlife. A lawned area offers a playspace for children.

This captivating property deserves an inspection. Admire the expansive views from the deck, check out the garden and imagine the relaxed coastal lifestyle that could be yours!
