Beach glimpses from treetop view

A near-new hilltop Lorne residence provides the ideal vantage point to take in the Surf Coast town’s ideal blend of bush and coastal landscapes.

2/8 Hopetoun Terrace is a six-year-old, immaculately presented home that matches eye-catching design and functional planning in a highly desirable location.

The home includes viewing decks on the entry level – which faces east to take in views of the Lorne coast – and a north-facing vantage point on the upper level that soaks in sun and provides panoramic views to the picturesque surrounds.

Most daylight hours would be spent on the upper level, which includes a spacious, openj-plan kitchen, dining and living area that opens to an outdoor deck. This level includes large north and east-facing windows welcome in natural light and views towards Erskine River and Lorne’s coastline.

The entry level is home to the master bedroom with walk-in robe and ensuite, a rumpus room on entry and laundry.

Downstairs houses the central bathroom and two further bedrooms, creating a sense of privacy for family and guests, and plenty of storage.

Selling agents indicated that they expect the property to appeal for permanent residents or for buyers looking to invest in a holiday home or rental.

Great Ocean Road Real Estate is selling this property, with price expectations set at $2.388 million.
