Ocean Grove 208 Thacker Street

In prime 'Old' Ocean Grove, this tastefully renovated 4BR mid-century inspired family home will please and delight young families, mature families, investors and holiday-makers alike. Situated opposite the leafy Woodlands area, this property is a secure and private haven that opens up through a locked timber entry beside the DLUG to showcase established native gardens and wall-to-wall windows the length of the home that charmingly invite the outside into the warm and open interior.

Inside, many of the original features of the home such as low and wide spaces, panelled walls and ceilings, exposed brick walls and huge timber crossbeams have been lovingly restored and retained, yet the functional areas of the home have been modernised and revitalised to bring the property well into the 21st century. The completely renovated kitchen has all new Smeg appliances, beautiful terrazzo stone benchtops and a wide, attractively tiled breakfast bar where you can sit and breathe in the heady scent of jasmine wafting through the thoughtful louvred windows above the stainless double sink. Storage abounds in the new custom built kitchen cabinetry and built-in pantry in a tasteful muted tone, and the adjacent almost-Euro laundry has that bit more space and storage to make the zone truly practical. The main family bathroom is beautifully renovated with a custom Tasmanian Oak vanity, walk-in shower and enormous bath.

Separated into zones, the two distinct living areas, dining and kitchen are situated in the middle of the long floorplan and divide the sleeping quarters - with the master and second bedrooms at the rear of the home, and a third bedroom and smaller fourth bedroom or study at the front. All bedrooms have wide picture windows, block-out blinds and sheers, and the full length of the home is glazed and hung with sheer curtains that contain the warmth and create a lovely cosy vibe when drawn. Living and wet areas are tiled with large format concrete tiles, with wool carpet in the bedrooms. Reverse cycle air conditioning units in the front and the rear provide year-round climate control.

Outside, functional additions abound, such as a wetsuit hanging rack, surfboard storage and outdoor hot/cold shower - all essentials in this beach-side location. A large shade-sail protects the home from the hot sun in summer, but is removable to allow the glowing warmth of a sunny winter afternoon to bathe the house with light. Flexible zones include a paved alfresco area, gravelled fire pit, kids play area with sandpit and cubby, and there's also a chicken coop, raised vegetable beds and productive fruit trees.

This beautifully renovated property has so much appeal, and is located in a fabulous part of Old Ocean Grove, close to the beach, schools, shops and everything the Bellarine has to offer. It won't last long - inspect today!
