* Enjoying a privileged position and wraparound gardens, this double brick home with all the elegant hallmarks of its period history, is brimming with exciting possibilities for further enhancement, making it perfect for families aspiring to live the relaxed beach lifestyle.

* Surrounded by the quintessential picket fence, lush established gardens with a level lawn and sandstone entryway make a favourable first impression. The covered front verandah with its leadlight feature window provides the perfect place to catch the morning sun.

* High ceilings with decorative cornices and ceiling panels, typical of these period homes, further enhance the generous interiors and the first two of three bedrooms flow off the wide entrance hallway. The first enjoys direct northerly light and has beautiful French doors that open onto the front verandah. Two of the three bedrooms, including the generous master on the opposite side of the home, enjoy full length built-in wardrobes.

* The centrally placed family bathroom is bathed in natural light and enjoys a modern upgrade with a traditional tile format and new chic vanity. With full bath and separate shower recess there is plenty of space for a growing family.

* Multiple separate zoned living areas make this home perfect for everyday family life and guest entertaining. Enjoying an open plan layout, the formal lounge with its attractive bay window, joins directly with the dining area that, in turn, transitions easily to the integrated gas kitchen. An alternative entry door provides direct access through the pretty cottage garden to the single carport that opens onto Francis Street.

* Wide glass panelled French doors can be closed to separate the dining area from the second casual living area situated to the rear, and from where access to the enclosed dining garden courtyard can be enjoyed. Paved with traditional sandstone and incorporating a relaxing water feature, creating a private and tranquil haven for guest entertaining.

* Ideally located, within excellent proximity of schools, playing fields, the Andrew Boy Charlton swimming pool and local shops, it also an easy stroll to the beach via Queenscliff Reserve. Please contact James Haywood of Cunninghams Property for further information on this impressive opportunity.
