Peace and tranquility in Old Barwon Heads

Barwon Heads remains one of Victoria’s top hot spots for seaside living or owning a holiday beach pad.

Effectively protected from expansive development, Barwon Heads has managed to preserve its coastal character and still remains that classic beach town that locals and holidaymakers have grown to love.

Property prices have reflected this with the median value of Barwon Heads homes jumping by over $300,000 in the past year.

Finding the perfect home that truly reflects a seaside lifestyle is a tough gig in the Barwon Heads area but occasionally the odd one does come to market.

Such is the latest listing from RT Edgar Bellarine, 11 Noble Street, which offers a beautiful combination of character, charm and modern high-end living, with an immaculately renovated home located in the heart of town that is just outstanding.

RT Edgar sales consultant Candace Smith said that it was an absolute pleasure to have the vendors entrust them with the sale of their exceptional family home.

“This home just exudes all the charming character that you would expect from an original Barwon Heads home,” Ms Smith said.
“It’s walking distance to the river, shops, parks and beach which is all you could ask for in a seaside home.

“From the established manicured gardens that greet you on arrival, to the modern renovation that has brought elegance to the home whilst preserving the seaside character, makes this a rarity in today’s market.

“I can guarantee that all who view this home will be very impressed.”

With three living zones, three bedrooms, a spacious home office, a chef’s kitchen and breathtaking bathrooms, this exceptional family
home provides a luxurious retreat, and is surrounded by tranquil gardens and a fabulous outdoor entertaining deck.

Private from the street, the delightful front garden showcasing flowing deciduous trees and neat hedges sets a calming tone.

Buxton Cottage’s quaint front sitting room has been beautifully modernised while retaining hallmarks of a bygone era, including the original open fireplace.

The superb adjacent master bedroom boasts a walk-through robe leading to a bright ensuite.

The welcoming yet impressive open-plan living zone featuring bespoke cabinetry and engineered timber floorboards merges seamlessly with the large outdoor entertainment deck and grapevine-adorned pergola; a zen water feature and abundant garden beds further enhance privacy and serenity.

Offering a top-of-the-range Nexus Rangemaster oven, a Miele dishwasher and butler’s pantry, the kitchen is both aesthetically pleasing and functional.

There’s a large home office with in-built workstations, and a classy laundry with a stunning powder room.

A third living area leads to the two well-appointed minor bedrooms, a second deck and the breathtaking main bathroom with hotel-worthy herringbone tiling, soaking tub and bamboo-screened verandah.

White plantation shutters, hydronic heating, ducted heating/cooling, a gas log fire and ceiling fans deliver stylish climate control.

A single carport with roller door, cubby and rustic back shed with workbenches provide space for parking and storage. For the ultimate in central high-end coastal living, look no further.

To be auctioned Saturday, June 12, at 11am unless sold prior.
