161 The Avenue, Ocean Grove, Vic 3226

Positioned in a tightly held Old Ocean Grove pocket close to the ocean, leafy reserves, parks and local cafés, this generous four bedroom plus study home delivers relaxed family living across a north rear 816sqm (approx.) allotment.

Blending original 1970s character with a thoughtful contemporary extension, it offers multiple indoor and outdoor living zones, a sunny north-facing backyard, and a flexible bungalow ideal for work, play or creative pursuits.

A glimpse of the ocean provides a gentle reminder of the nearby coastline, but the real appeal lies in the home’s generous proportions and warm, easy-going atmosphere. Tasmanian Oak flooring and a crisp coastal palette create an inviting sense of calm from the moment you step inside. 

The original wing includes three well sized bedrooms (two with BIRs), private living zone, a dedicated study and a remodelled bathroom finished in a modern monochrome palette.

To the rear, a contemporary extension introduces a spacious open-plan living domain, grounded by an island kitchen, dressed in stone finishes and equipped with all Fisher & Paykel appliances including a five-burner cooktop and double dish drawers.

Two sets of sliding glass doors open to the expansive rear deck and north-facing backyard, where children can run freely, gather around the built-in basketball court, or rinse off under the outdoor shower after a day at the beach.

Privately zoned, the main bedroom enjoys a garden outlook, walk-in robe and its own bathroom, while the family focus continues with a freestanding bungalow, providing excellent versatility for hobbies, home gym, or a teen hideaway.

Sustainability features include 5kW solar capacity and 4,000L of rainwater storage, while practical extras – including ducted heating, split system air-conditioning, a substantial shed that perfect for tradies or tinkerers, and off-street parking for multiple vehicles via dual street crossovers – elevate everyday convenience.

A wonderful setting for families of all ages and stages, this superb home offers space, flexibility and an utterly relaxed coastal lifestyle, in a location you’ll love coming back to.
