95 The Parade, Ocean Grove, Vic 3226

Grand in scale yet effortlessly relaxed in its coastal sensibility, this single-level family home delivers generous living and easy alfresco gatherings, offering a dream permanent or holiday lifestyle just footsteps from Ocean Grove’s vibrant shopping and dining heart.

Set behind a securely fenced perimeter with electric gated entry, the property offers privacy and peace from the moment you arrive. Recently reconfigured, the floorplan brings together three thoughtfully designed living areas and five generous bedrooms, giving the whole family room to spread out and unwind.

Awash in natural light, the expansive open-plan living and dining area is warmed by a two-way pebble-effect fireplace that also casts a soft glow into the adjoining formal lounge.

The stone-topped kitchen is a home cook's delight, with a 900mm freestanding oven, stainless steel dishwasher and huge walk-in pantry, while the breakfast island is ideal for mingling guests or casual meals on the go.

Sliding glass doors merge the interior with the undercover alfresco, where a barbecue deck with built-in drinks fridge overlooks a lush, private backyard designed for entertaining, not maintaining.

Set apart for privacy, the main bedroom suite is entered through elegant French doors and opens to a hotel-style sanctuary of generous proportions, with a hidden walk-in robe and stylish twin-vanity ensuite. 

The remaining four bedrooms all have built-in robes and share a family bathroom with separate WC, a welcome convenience for a busy household, while a dedicated teen retreat gives older kids their own space to hang out, study or unwind.

Everyday comfort and convenience are well covered, with near-new zoned ducted heating and refrigerated cooling, a 19-panel solar PV system, three-car garaging with drive-through access, and ample forecourt parking for a boat or caravan.

Set on a rare 812sqm (approx.) north-to-rear site, this is a home with room to grow in a location that's hard to beat. Directly opposite the ever-popular Pholklore restaurant, it's just 130m from the lively bars, eateries and shops of The Terrace and an easy 400m stroll to Ocean Grove beach.
