Light and bright and brimming with nostalgia, this humble dual level beach retreat is less than 700m from the shoreline and full of surprises.

Enjoying unrivalled access to sun, water and sand and with renovation potential adding even more value, the fun-loving four-bedder that includes a separate bungalow is perfect for families who want an authentic holiday house or an executive luxury rental, owner-occupiers seeking a sea-change as well as the ideal project home that can be enjoyed for generations to come.

Occupying a generous 604sqm, the tightly-held locale is walking distance to the foreshore, Rosebud Pier, cafes, restaurants, Rosebud Primary School, Woolworths Rosebud Central and McCrae Plaza Shopping Centre. Framed by lush gardens and a sweeping second level veranda, the continuous-flow layout boasts two ground floor bedrooms (one with built-in robes) that share a combined bathroom/laundry and an expansive living area. Two more bedrooms upstairs comprise built-in robes and are serviced by another family-sized bathroom. Bathed in abundant natural white light, the warm and intimate kitchen/living/dining zone with two access points to the veranda creates a wonderfully flexible living environment. Enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine with friends in the evening air overlooking the natural landscape in the distance.

Set against a large backyard, firepit area and established gardens, the highly adaptable one-bedroom bungalow boasts its own bathroom, kitchenette and living area with beautiful leadlight double-doors. Looking out onto greenery, the adjoining alfresco and extended pergola invites instant relaxation. Outside is all about unwinding and having fun with your built-in barbecue, fireplace and pizza oven. There's also a large storeroom/workshop that could be utilised in a number of ways as well as another alfresco between the main house and bungalow.
