16 Roseville Avenue, BlairgowrieVIC

This wildcoast Sanctuary only 400m to the sand and on ¾ of an acre (approx) of coastal gardens and set down a quiet no-through road among a handful of homes with private beach access at the end of the street, this charming ranch style home delivers rare serenity beside the ocean. Once part of the historic Fowler’s acreage that was subdivided into 14 large allotments in 1896, with many tightly held for generations, the superb leafy property is just 400m from the ocean and the walking trail that stretches from Cape Schanck National Park to Sorrento. Claiming a north-facing aspect to capture the all-day sunshine, the home features both formal and informal living and dining zones beneath high vaulted ceilings with an updated kitchen offering timber tops and stainless-steel appliances. Two comfortable bedrooms are serviced by an ensuite and full family bathroom respectively, while a library and study with bookcase shelving could easily be transformed into a third bedroom. A 15-minute walk to the Blairgowrie village and calm bay beach and a short drive to Sorrento, this enchanting seaside sanctuary also includes a fireplace, gas furnace and garage, while this generous allotment would also allow ample room to build your dream coastal abode with a pool and tennis court (STCA).
