Ocean Grove 18 Hilda Avenue

Magnolia, camellia, lavender, daphne and daisy - surround yourself with a kaleidoscope of colour and aroma. Lovingly tended by a dedicated green-thumb and a playpen for tiny wrens, sweet-scented gardens encircle this delightful residence.

Larger than it looks from the front, two sunny living and dining zones are bathed in north-east light, and benefit from windows on both sides. More of a formal zone, the front living area features a large open fireplace, ideal for infusing a little romance into these chilly nights. A sun-drenched spot in the casual living zone is perfect for a desk or easel.

Dressed in the honeyed hue of solid timber, the central kitchen hosts a dishwasher, gas hob and a gas oven - heaven for scone and sponge bakers! The extra-wide fridge space and pot drawers are terrific attributes for today's lifestyle too.

All three bedrooms contain built-in robes, and the main has handy direct access to the bathroom. Quaint and useful cabinetry is found in the laundry, and the home is kept cosy by gas heating.

Paved and undercover, an inviting place for family barbeques abuts the timber-framed doors leading to the backyard. Secreted from view here, a garden shed and water tank are positioned to service a small veggie patch and lemon tree. Equipped with an automated door, the double garage has been extended to offer a workshop or studio for tinkerers and artists alike.

Situated within a long established residential location, it's just 1.5 kilometres or less to shopping and schools, 2 kilometres to the beach and 23 kilometres into Geelong CBD.

Currently in appealing and comfortable condition, scope exists for some cosmetic refurbishment at your leisure. Warm and welcoming, little or nothing is really required for happiness and harmony to reign within the boundary of this charming domain.
