For those who have always longed for an indulgent beachside lifestyle, this townhouse – just a few steps from the beach – will see that dream realised through summers ahead.
The 1960s-style double storey on one of Altona’s most coveted streets delivers on convenience, simplicity and character in spades.
It’s been pristinely kept with plush carpet underfoot adding a cosiness while the white walls with timber window and door frames are a nice touch. Entry on the ground level leads directly into the living room, light-drenched thanks to a large bay window.
This room flows into the adjoining kitchen and meals area towards the rear.
Plenty of timber cabinetry topped with laminate benches in this room match the decor throughout and there are also a wall oven, gas cooktop and rangehood.
A laundry and powder room round out this level.
Two spacious upstairs bedrooms with built-in wardrobes include the main with sea views through a bay window.
This level is serviced by the one bathroom which has a quirky blue-tiled bath and corner shower with brass tapware.
There’s a large upstairs terrace atop the garage on which to sit back, relax and have a barbecue with mates while lapping up glittering bay views and enjoying the various Altona beach-scene activities.
Downstairs, a sliding door off the kitchen-meals area opens to a secluded courtyard.
The high-entry double garage includes a storage area to park a caravan or trailer and a paved area alongside the house is suitable for a boat.
The property is conveniently close to Altona’s village-style shops, cafes, restaurants and train station, and a short walk along the Esplanade to the pier.
