Originally the neighbourhood milk bar, the ‘Sea Breeze’, and now a stunning example of beachside contemporary living, this smartly presented two-level, five-bedroom home in one of the most sought-after locations in Melbourne, overlooking beautiful Beaumaris Bay, is a brilliant find.
Offering generous, light-filled spaces with high ceilings – the good bones of the 1960's milk bar – the home has the flexibility to create independent living spaces on each level, perfect for a multigenerational family, student accommodation or Airbnb holiday rental, being just minutes away from the vibrant shopping strips and coffee bars in the area.
From the entrance with its stylish façade and elegant square-trimmed ficus trees flanking the path, the front door opens into an entry hall like no other. A polished timber floor inlaid with black granite panels leads through to the ground level rooms and the staircase to the upper level. At ground level are four freshly painted and carpeted light-filled bedrooms and a study serviced by a central modern bathroom. From a spacious living room complete with a wet area/kitchenette, a hall with ample storage cupboards leads through to a rear sunroom opening onto a deck and sun-drenched private back garden surrounded by mature trees, a perfect haven to unwind in. A separate laundry, secure outside drying area and under-stair storage completes the downstairs amenities with ducted heating and air-conditioning providing climate control.
From the entrance hall, a carpeted staircase leads to the upper level, arriving into an airy open-plan kitchen/dining/living area, newly painted with polished timber floors throughout and a functioning open fireplace adding to the comforts of the lounge. The contemporary island-style kitchen boasts gleaming bench tops over stainless steel appliances, including a built-in steam oven, Smeg electric oven, Smeg gas cooktop and a double drawer Fisher and Paykel dishwasher. A sparkling powder room and additional storage cupboards open off the passage through to the rear where a light-filled and newly carpeted primary bedroom opens onto an open sunny balcony with views East across the Bay towards the Mornington Peninsula. With a walk-in robe, this is serviced by a generous ensuite bathroom with a shower-over-bath, double basins and a Euro laundry. A split-system and ceiling fan control heating and cooling.
At the West end of the upper level and through sliding glass doors opening from the lounge is a large open deck, the width of the house, with spectacular Bay views. The perfect spot for al fresco entertaining, it features a fully functioning pizza oven and a wind/privacy screen enhanced with attractive colourful tiles. A generous deep double garage with a built-in work bench provides the perfect man-cave and an extra storage area.
Excellent schools abound in this neighbourhood, all in close proximity and served by public transport. With easy access to swimming beaches, and casual and fine dining venues close by, this rare opportunity is ready for move-in and is not to be missed.
