Last Listing description (September 2024)

Nestled in the heart of old Ocean Grove, just a stone's throw away from the iconic "Madeley Street shops," this charming residence is a true gem. Surrounded by popular amenities such as sporting facilities, schools, and a mere 1km (approx.) from the beach, its location is nothing short of perfect. The bustling main shopping precinct is also conveniently close, ensuring that every need is met with ease.

The home itself is a character-filled retro charmer that has been well maintained and updated over the years. Unlike many properties in Ocean Grove, this one exudes a unique character that sets it apart. As you approach, the house and front yard faces north, offering a private oasis behind a substantial fence. A mature, low-maintenance garden provides both privacy and shade during the warmer months, creating an inviting atmosphere that can be enjoyed from the expansive front decking.

Step inside, and the Scandi vibes continue. The living area, open to the dining space, features floorboards throughout, beachy lighting, and a painted brick feature wall that once housed a gas fireplace. The kitchen, though renovated, maintains the era's charm with abundant plywood cupboards, stylish subway tiles, and stainless-steel cooking appliances. The flexible centre bench serves as a preparation space, breakfast bar, or casual dining area, adaptable to your needs.

Venturing into the accommodation wing, three bedrooms offer private views of lush gardens, with the larger two bedrooms boasting built-in robes. The main bedroom indulges in a tranquil ensuite with a shower, toilet, and vanity, while the main bathroom cleverly combines laundry facilities.

Completing the picture is a south-facing entertaining area, catching the summer breezes, a thriving lemon tree, and a convenient carport. In a location that has it all, this unique retro charmer won't stay on the market for long - a true treasure awaiting its next fortunate owner.
