The stars have aligned and this rare opportunity has arisen to snatch up two houses at a gorgeous Altona beachside location in one go.
Both houses, on a single title, were lovingly owner-built and have been immaculately kept over many years. Each was designed to meet the changing needs of an ever-expanding family and to provide the best in modern living.
Whether a modern refurbishment to the existing homes is on the cards or splitting the property for multiple dwellings, both are superbly positioned on an enormous 1084-square metre block separated by a solar-heated saltwater pool. To the left of entry (main house) is the step-down family room with plush carpet underfoot and natural light streaming through the large window which captures the last of the afternoon warmth each day.
A dining area adjoins this room, separated by a graduated dividing feature wall which can be closed off by a sliding door for a more formal dinner setting.
It’s straight into the living hub next which is centred on the modern timber kitchen with granite benchtops and stainless-steel wall oven, gas cooktop and rangehood. The family-meals area sprawls into clearly defined areas: the tiled meals zone with a floor-to-ceiling north-facing bay window flooding the space with natural light; and the family area towards the rear with an impressive timber-lined vaulted ceiling.
Three bedrooms are down the right-hand side, starting with the main which has a walk-through wardrobe and fully-tiled en suite with a corner spa and separate shower.
The other good-sized bedrooms have built-in wardrobes. The main bathroom has a bath and separate shower.
Off the living hub, a stunning pergola area with clear cafe blinds enables year-round outdoor dining and summertime entertainment by the pool.
A laundry and remote-controlled double garage round out this house.
The second residence includes two spacious bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, open and light-filled living areas, a modern kitchen and a large bathroom.
Altona Beach, Pier Street shops, restaurants and cafe culture are within easy reach, along with Harrington Square shopping centre, train station and parklands.
