<\/p>\nWhen you think of a beach house, you likely imagine a light-filled home with a generous size yard to relax and enjoy summer activities.<\/p>\n
These are a rarity in today’s market as the block sizes shrink significantly, putting the traditional backyard on the endangered list.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, the older estates still present an opportunity to enjoy the beachside lifestyle with room to move, and a great example of this is One Agency’s listing at 16 Lorama Street, Torquay.<\/p>\n
You’ll love coming home to this double-storey coastal delight, set on a substantial 629sqm block and featuring an impressive native front garden that sets the scene for what’s to follow.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The home’s clever design brings the outside in and offers plenty of zoned living options for individual family members, including three living areas and upstairs office space.<\/p>\n
Enjoying quality time with loved ones is made easy in the light-filled open plan living\/dining\/kitchen, boasting windows with green outlooks at every turn, plus seamless flow to the inviting alfresco.<\/p>\n
One Agency senior sales consultant Olivia Swann said the home’s thoughtful design was very welcoming and presents as the perfect beach home.<\/p>\n
“The roomy and bright home boasts an open plan living area that seamlessly connects the alfresco and spacious backyard,” Ms Swann said.<\/p>\n

“Set on a generous traditional-sized block, this versatile residence offers plenty of scope for families and individuals to work, play, entertain and unwind.<\/p>\n
“Gardening lovers will be equally as impressed, as the current owner has invested a lot of time and energy into cultivating the gorgeous garden oasis.”<\/p>\n
The home features an expansive deck made for year-round entertaining whilst the big backyard is perfect for kicking a footy on the lawn or honing your green thumb among the veggies, hot house, fruit trees and variety of native plants that attract lovely local birdlife.<\/p>\n
The master abode features walk-in robes and a double ensuite with stone benchtops, coupled with three further upstairs bedrooms with mirrored built-in robes, serviced by a spacious main bathroom.<\/p>\n
