Behind the double gates, in a quiet Ocean Grove court, there’s a great lifestyle to be had with this smart coastal property. The private pool at the front of the house is enhanced by exotic palms and agaves, neatly-paved surrounds, glass fencing and a newly installed salt-chlorinated sand filter. This area benefits from uninterrupted eastern and northern sunshine and the pool is heated all year round from solar panels installed on the roof.
Stepping through the sliding front door, you’re straight into the living zone. An extra-large, open-plan lounge/dining/kitchen area with raked ceilings, downlights, and polished concrete floor. To the right is a delightful lounge with a ceiling fan and split system. In the middle, the dining space looks directly out to the pool, and to the left is an expansive kitchen with stone benches, twin Chef electric wall ovens and grills, Blanco electric 900mm induction cooktop, Whirlpool dishwasher and unlimited storage space with soft close cabinetry. There’s also a feature-tile splashback and a built-in, euro-style laundry which can be hidden by concertina doors.
The sleeping zone is a step or two up from the lounge with three bedrooms, a generous bathroom with shower, vanity and WC - plus a second, separate WC. Central floor ducted heating has been installed and has the capacity to heat 40 squares. In the event of a further extension to the home or a separate unit at the back (STCA), there’s plenty of heat capacity to service either.
Clearly there’s room for development at the rear and there are also two garden/storage sheds. Two 10,000 litre water tanks collect rain from the roof, which in turn supplies the pool. Nicely located close to schools, sporting facilities and the shopping centre, this appealing family home is only a couple of minutes drive to the Ocean Grove hub, surf beaches and the river.
