Holding a rich history over the years, beginning as St. Phillips Church and then a community hall, this unique property has been lovingly converted into a contemporary and stylish three-bedroom home with the addition of a studio. Soaring pitched ceilings are graced with bespoke timber trusses, while timber beams from the original Barwon Heads bridge make a striking impression upon entry into the open-plan living. A wood-burner fire enhances this inviting space, where you will enjoy cosying up with a glass of red on those chilly winter nights. The central kitchen is well-appointed with stone benchtops, a large walk-in pantry and an abundance of bench space. Seamless connection to the undercover alfresco deck inspires effortless outdoor entertaining with family and friends. Upstairs reveals a private parents' retreat incorporating a second living area, main bedroom and spacious ensuite. A further two bedrooms on the ground floor are serviced by the nearby modern bathroom. Separate from the main dwelling, the studio presents as ideal accommodation for additional family members. The open plan design comprises a kitchenette, ensuite, built-in robes and a wood-burner fire in the living area. Set in a quiet court-like location around central parkland, this position is within easy walking distance of Tate Street Primary School (zoned), Bellarine Village Shopping Centre and local sporting reserves.
