51 Hodgson Street, Ocean GroveVIC

An enchanting vision of period beauty blending modern luxury with the timeless elegance of its 1930s origins, this masterfully renovated residence provides an exceptional opportunity to secure a chic character home in a prestigious setting, just 50m to the glittering shoreline.

From its picture-perfect façade and professionally landscaped gardens, the home gives way to carefully curated interiors spectacularly backdropped by a sweeping coastal panorama that stretches from the Barwon Heads Bluff to Cape Schanck. Lofty ceilings, ornate cornices, sash windows and Tasmanian Oak floorboards exude hallmark period appeal as a generous two-storey floorplan is superbly tailored to today’s lifestyle – including those seeking multigenerational living.

Upon entry, a gracious formal sitting room with its Murano glass chandelier sets the tone for the quality that lies beyond. An open plan living and dining area acts as the central hub of the home, warmed by a gas log fire with sandstone stack surround while wall-to-wall glass maximises the coastal outlook. Overseeing all the action, the main kitchen encourages social mingling across a sumptuous stone island as top-of-the-line appliances, an integrated Liebherr refrigerator, and a comprehensively appointed walk-in pantry encourage the chef within.

The postcard-worthy aspect takes centre stage from the home’s upper level where a glass-encased living zone effortlessly connects to a series of elevated alfresco decks, ideal for view-swept outdoor relaxation. Here, a second kitchen presents outstanding functionality for growing and extended families by allowing both separation and the opportunity to come together, while another stone-encased gas log fire adds to the natural ambience.

Offering parental privacy, the main bedroom is positioned upstairs featuring a private balcony plus built-in and walk-in robes, and sits adjacent to a sky-lit bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tiling. Downstairs, two further bedrooms provide space for children or guests to retreat, as a lavish family bathroom presents as a spa-like sanctuary with its raw limestone feature wall and deluxe freestanding tub.

The home’s outstanding versatility and attention to detail continues through to the freestanding double garage, with a convenient loft level serving as an ideal office, home studio or overflow accommodation, complete with reverse cycle heating and cooling, kitchenette, and private balcony.

Extending outdoors, a built-in barbecue deck backdropped by landscaped gardens and the soothing sound of the ocean is the focus of alfresco entertaining, while an outdoor shower is ideal for rinsing off sandy feet after a day on the beach.

Freshly painted inside and out, the home is further equipped with ducted and zoned heating and cooling, 5kW of solar energy, 18,000-litres of rainwater storage, automated garden irrigation system, security cameras, double glazing, and additional driveway parking for multiple vehicles behind an electric gate entry.

Providing an ideal setting for high quality lifestyle living, it’s just a 350m walk to the shopping and dining options of the town centre with stretches of glistening shoreline just beyond your front door. Don’t miss the opportunity to make this exquisite masterpiece your forever home.
