In an era where new homes are being built at record pace to meet housing demand, leaving the variety of design limited and individuality lost, it is refreshing and exciting to find a home that has its own identity, exuding charm and character without compromising on functionality. Set in a peaceful, established street and welcoming its new owners with panoramic views across the bay, this uniquely designed home has been impeccably built and immaculately maintained. Within 1km, multiple schools, 'The Dell' beachside reserve, Clifton Springs Golf course and Drysdale main street make this an incredibly convenient position. Additionally, the playpark and reserves on Almerta Avenue itself helps make this an ideal location to raise a family. Internally, the home features split levels and raked ceilings creating a sense of openness that soaks the main living spaces in natural light. Dotted throughout the home, beautiful lead light designs along with a tasteful amount of exposed timbers create warmth and character. 3 bedrooms and central bathroom are located on the south side, with a generous master boasting ensuite. Reverse cycle air conditioning controls the climate year round and a team of solar panels helps keep the energy bills to a minimum. The sunken lounge is carpeted with gas heater and exposed brick wall feature. An adjoining dining room is open plan to the modern kitchen offering dishwasher, walk in pantry and breakfast bar, whilst the laundry has direct external access. At the top of the carpeted stairs, the mezzanine 2nd level is a great place to escape or entertain as it takes in the best of the expansive vistas opening out to the North onto the surprisingly private balcony. Enjoy uninterrupted bay views to the North directly toward the You Yangs or watch the sunset and periodic fireworks looking back toward Geelong in the west. Outside, the journey continues with well manicured established landscapes, paved courtyards on all sides, undercover alfresco, grassed area for the kids and pets as well as a 6m x 4m workshop which could easily be converted into an independent dwelling/guest house. The remote double garage has rear access and there is room enough in the driveway for another 2 cars to park off street. If you are craving something with personality and charm, without sacrificing the functionality and location, there is no better option than this gorgeous home, bursting with character.
