If the beach is beckoning, you won't get much closer than this delightful two-storey home nestled among the ti-tree. Directly opposite the main surf beach, yet hidden behind a thickly vegetated road reserve, the four-bedroom home feels a world away.

Ideal for holiday or permanent living, investment or development (SCTA), this property has much to offer the astute buyer seeking the ultimate in beachside lifestyle.

Access to the property is from Osborne St. A timber pathway meanders through native coastal gardens and shell-grit covered ground to extensive outdoor decking area over several levels. Inside the home is delightfully relaxed and beachy, yet surprising spacious, offering a practical kitchen, sunny dining area and living areas over two levels.

A high raked ceiling with clerestory windows gives the living areas a fantastic sense of space and light. The kitchen features a central island bench with excellent storage, a double sink and upright stove.

Step down to the lower level carpeted second living area which would be a perfect space for someone who works from home or studies. It has huge windows overlooking the delightful garden of ti-tree and other coastal plantings that blends seamlessly into the reserve. The garden has a whimsical, fairytale-like quality that will appeal to adults and children alike. Imagine the cubbies and cups of tea!

Upstairs is a spacious master bedroom with huge windows overlooking the ti-tree and sand dunes. It includes a wall of built-in robes and full ensuite. A passage off the main living area leads to three further bedrooms, two with robes, plus a spacious bathroom, two-way toilet and laundry.

Other features include split-system air-conditioning, quality carpets and blinds, plus OSP for two cars and recently fitted solar panels. Well maintained and presented throughout, you can't help but fall in love with this gorgeous home in one of Ocean Grove's best locations, walk to the beach and have a swim without a towel- it's so close!
