Point Lonsdale 105 Bellarine Highway

At 'Willow House', guests and family alike are welcomed by a restful coastal themed interior and extensive outdoor living options, creating the ultimate beach house atmosphere.

Indulging visitors plus older children in the privacy and harmony only separate quarters can provide, rooms downstairs virtually mirror those upstairs. Almost two homes in one, both levels encompass expansive open plan living zones, plus a bathroom each between two bedrooms.

Upstairs, a full kitchen incorporates electric cooking appliances, dishwasher, breakfast bar and walk-in pantry. With triple aspect tree-top views, the adjoining sunroom could double as a dream studio or study. Sharing the view of lofty callistemons, the main balcony makes an idyllic open-air dining and lounging area. Both bedrooms here also feature exclusive Juliet balconies.

On the lower level, the kitchenette could be made self-sufficient simply by adding portable hot plates and a microwave oven. However, beyond the broad front verandah secluded from the street by tall fencing, the built-in barbeque with natural gas point would suffice. Each bedroom downstairs has direct access via glass doors to the rear verandah.

Climate control options include several reverse cycle split systems along with gas heaters. Floating floors with a whitewashed-look as well as timber walls and ceilings lend a relaxing, laid-back air to the decor. Built-in storage is in abundance and fresh rainwater is piped to the main kitchen.

Set amongst beautifully landscaped grounds, many flowering natives bestow colour without requiring much work or water. To savour this outlook, a sheltered undercover area to the side of the residence supplies yet another opportunity for alfresco repose. Connected to a semi-circular driveway that could easily be reinstated, a single carport leads to a lockable paved workshop, equipped with power and work bench ready to go.

It is an easy stroll to the bay, shops, cafes, historic Lover's Walk and lighthouses, along with so much more. Just 27 kilometres into Geelong, central Melbourne is only about 100 kilometres away. Whether for idyllic family holidays or permanent residency, this utterly endearing property could be your seaside fantasy or reality. You choose.
