Located in the charming community of Skenes Creek on the Great Ocean Road and just 6 kilometres from the bustling shops and cafes of Apollo Bay, this traditional beach house has much to offer. Just one street back from the coast on a pretty 617sqm block, this property is brimming with potential. The weatherboard home nestles into its established garden behind lovely trees in a quiet cul de sac only a few minutes' walk to Skenes Creek Beach, very popular for swimming, surfing, and exploring.
Set in delightful gardens, this home is all about its spectacular ocean views. The home is positioned to maximise the views across its delightful garden and the ocean beyond from the open plan living areas. The garden is large and secure, perfect for children to play and pets to roam. Already beautifully planted out, there's plenty of room to add your own touch with further plantings or a kitchen garden.
The deck wraps around from the entrance at the side of the house to a huge full width deck facing the ocean. The view of the ocean from the deck over the pretty back yard is quite simply stunning and the sound of the nearby crashing waves and strong smell of the ocean in the air remind you just how close you are to the sea.
The first thing you notice as you enter this traditional beach house are the large sunny open plan living areas, with floating timber floors and expansive windows opening to the north and out to the east towards the ocean. The spacious lounge opens to the equally generous dining area and kitchen, big enough for the largest of families and keen entertainers and with sliding doors to access the deck. The traditional kitchen has plenty of bench space and storage with gas cooking and a dishwasher.
A central hallway takes you to the three bedrooms, all very generously proportioned, with the master bedroom large enough to add an ensuite if required. All have built in robes and large windows to let in plenty of light and the sea air. The bedrooms are serviced by a large central bathroom with bath and separate shower as well as an equally spacious laundry with garden access and separate WC.
The potential of this property, with its tranquil location and spectacular views, is truly undeniable. Very functional as it is now, this property could be enhanced further with a clever renovation to suit the new owner.
