8 Newcomb Street, Ocean Grove VIC 3226

Nestled amongst the trees in an elevated and secluded pocket of Old Ocean Grove, this characterful family home captures the last light of the setting sun. With timber-lined raked ceilings, cosy alcoves and delightful surprises at every turn, the property has been architecturally-designed to maximise light, space and versatility. Featuring a large 2 bedroom self-contained studio, a shipping container swimming pool and a sunny north-facing yard and deck, the enviable lifestyle on offer is one of peace and tranquility.

Light-filled interiors include a vast living space connected to a formal dining zone, a wonderfully stylish sunken lounge with an adjoining workspace, and the heart of the home: an intimate dining nook with garden and sunset views. The chef-level kitchen with stunning spotted gum benches, comes with state-of-the-art appliances: a Siemens oven, combined gas burner/induction cooktop, high-powered extractor fan and Bosch dishwasher. Upstairs, the wool-carpeted master bedroom enjoys river and Bluff views, and shares an ensuite with another bedroom which could alternatively be a parents’ retreat, study or rumpus. The lower level bedroom has BIRs, while the attractive, spacious bungalow provides two further sleeping quarters in addition to a kitchenette and ensuite.

Sustainable living is encouraged with a 10kW solar array, high-volume Sanden eco water pump, chicken amenities and a flourishing edible garden comprising an olive grove, established apricot plum and nectarine trees, raised veggie/herb boxes, and an array of citrus and bay trees in striking round concrete planters and wine barrels.

Extras include an 800-bottle capacity underground wine cellar, workshop, garden shed, 5000l underground water tank with pump for garden, outdoor hot/cold shower, ducted vacuum and two wood fires. A lockable carport and 3 designated car spaces provide off-street parking options, but with its close proximity to the Terrace shops and cafes, Blue Lake, Barwon River, school and the beach, you’ll be most likely heading off on foot or by bike.

This is a truly special property in a magnificent location: inspect ASAP!
