Flawless Low-Maintenance Retreat

Beautifully updated and private, this elegant home feels like a true escape from it all and yet is so close to beaches and local amenities. Set in a peaceful street in the heart of the exclusive Portsea enclave, the flawless property perfectly blends modern mid-century style and refined renovations both inside and out, to radiate a relaxed coastal ambience.

A superb entry to the coveted locale, the warm, welcoming residence is equally suited to empty-nesters looking to downsize, or first-home buyers who want a stylish low-maintenance home with space to entertain. Bathed in natural light and with soft neutral décor, the home begins in a spacious open-plan lounge and dining room, with two sets of sliding doors flowing out to the private courtyard garden, perfect for lazy weekend get-togethers and seasonal celebrations. Hosting is easy with a servery window opening from the stylish, fully renovated kitchen where you’ll find premium stone benchtops and Miele appliances including dishwasher and induction cooktop, along with ample storage.

A generous main retreat provides abundant built-in robes, while two further robed bedrooms are zoned separately and ideal for guests. These are serviced by two chic remodelled bathrooms, fully-tiled and including walk-in showers and heated towel rails, with the ensuite featuring a timer-controlled towel rail for added convenience.

Completing the home is a large laundry which provides storage and a neat study area, opening to a sheltered rear courtyard garden. Impeccably designed exterior spaces wraparound the home with verdant raised borders, private areas for simply sitting and relaxing, and the alfresco zone lined by quality brushwood screening.

For year-round comfort, efficient heating and cool is ensured with a feature gas log fire in the lounge and a cleverly concealed split system RC/AC unit in the kitchen. Additional features include new carpets, refreshed floor tiling, 6kw solar electric system, solid brick main structure and brick veneer extension, double carport with new storage room, garden shed, and expandable automated irrigation system.

Within around 1.5 to 2km of this superb Peninsula setting you’ll find beautiful Shelley Beach, Portsea Hotel and rugged Back Beach, and a range of sporting activities including Portsea and Sorrento Golf Clubs, local gym, tennis, bowls, football and netball clubs. It’s also just a few minutes’ drive to Sorrento’s vibrant shopping, cafés and bars, plus scenic coastal and bushwalking tracks around Point Nepean and the back beaches.
