Ocean Grove 5 Cruickshank Avenue

Split across three levels, this wonderful solid brick home boasts Bluff and estuary views, an established garden, plenty of character and an interesting floor plan with versatile living spaces.

The master bedroom is vast, the backyard is private, the kitchen has been updated and the 80s-era property includes an oversized single garage, workshop with additional secure off-street parking for a small boat or caravan. It's a leisurely walk to beaches, Blue Waters Lake, playgrounds and the Barwon River, and just a short drive to shops and schools. Fabulous exactly as is, there is also scope for further modernisation of this classic Ocean Grove home.

Upstairs the lofty main lounge is cosy thanks to a slow-combustion wood heater, and a wall of windows leading to a small balcony captures the leafy view across to the Bluff and Barwon River. The nearby master bedroom is well-sized and offers access to a second balcony, as well as an ensuite and WIR. Remaining sleeping quarters come with BIRs and utilise the compartmentalised bathroom. On the lower level a large separate room facing the street would augur well as a home office, third living zone or an extra bedroom. The main living space on the middle level adjoins the privatised north-facing garden, which displays a mix of succulents and natives in raised garden beds, and a concrete patio for outdoor entertaining. The contemporary renovated kitchen has an as-new Westinghouse oven, electric cooktop and Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, and overlooks the bright and spacious dining area. A handy separate sitting room could alternatively be set-up as a formal dining room, study or playroom. Further heating and cooling is via a split system, ceiling fans and an electric heater in the main living space. This private, classic home on a big block is the ideal permanent or holiday home for the whole family. Inspect today!
