Do you remember Wind in the Willows? It's a beautiful book we all greatly loved and admired for its ability to evoke the smells, colours, sounds and pleasures of living among friends and being surrounded by nature. Read aloud or alone we came back to it again and again. This delightful home - set amongst the willows of Ocean Grove - has much in common with the book. Like Wind in the Willows, it is easy to love and return to. You will always enjoy the peace and quiet this home offers. It's a cosy and tranquil place that tells a beautiful story in a gorgeous setting. Set back from the street, down a garden path into a secluded hollow, the home is neatly positioned a stone's throw from Lake Avenue Reserve and Blue Waters Lake. Inside, the home is inviting. From its main living area and sweeping balcony you'll enjoy tree-level views of your own 'wild woods' that provide a rural backdrop to the home's modern feel, well away from the wild world above. Like curling up with a good book, a sense of privacy and quiet seclusion exists within the main living area of the home. Paramount is this room's beautiful outlook to the eucalypts and willows visible through its large picture windows. These views, from the polished pine floorboards and neutral tones of the kitchen, dining room, lounge and entrance area take in the gradually descending grassed and wooded rear garden. This is an immaculately presented open-plan area and very liveable. With high ceilings, exposed pine beams and a balcony running the length of this main living area, the room is spacious and light. The kitchen, nicely incorporated into the open-plan, is modern and practical and includes a Bosch dishwasher, dual sink and Blanco oven. The lounge, dining area and especially the balcony are ideal for family enjoyment and for entertaining guests. Behind rendered brick the remainder of the home consists of three bedrooms with BIRs, two bathrooms, a central hall and a spacious laundry. It is the type of master bedroom in which you are destined to awake refreshed and its ensuite is attractive and spacious. A sliding door from the master leads to a private deck for enjoying a sunny Sunday read over breakfast... From the laundry, access to the side of the residence brings you to a staircase leading to the garden below and the underside of the house. Being built on a sloping block there is ample opportunity to renovate and make use of the area here either as a studio, rumpus room, workshop or significant extension STCA. Beyond the house-line is a grassed area with in-ground trampoline and further down the gradual slope a shady, leafy, well fenced, bushy section of the garden. You may not see Mr Toad, Mole or Badger in this willowy region but you can easily envisage chickens, ducks and kids running free. Other features include ducted heating, split system air-conditioning, off-street parking and of course its proximity to all Ocean Grove offers including schools, public transport, the beach, river, golf course and the beautiful Blue Waters Lake. Live happily ever after. "All along the backwater, Through the rushes tall, Ducks are a-dabbling, Up tails all!" - Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows, Ch. 2
