On the sunset strip

Watch the boats out at sea with 180-degree views from this double-storey house on the esplanade with many luxuries. Set at the quiet end of the strip, opposite the reserve and near the Williamstown botanical gardens and cafes, the location couldn’t be more desired.

Modern conveniences are evident inside and out, with an electric gate accessing a carport, a punch code entry, and automated timber venetians inside.

The imposing house of rendered brick construction with terracotta roof tiles is framed by a low-maintenance garden of palms and grasses.

Large square stone tiles run throughout the ground floor while Tasmanian Oak floorboards feature on the second floor.

Plenty of windows throughout make the most of natural light and spectacular views.

With 30 squares of internal living on an allotment of about 557 square metres, there is ample room for a large family or those who like entertaining.

Three living areas provide for a versatile floor plan. A lounge-dining area near the entrance includes a gas log fire and mantelpiece, wooden doors to let in the sea breezes, and a study nook tucked under the stairs.

The family-meals at the back provides more living space and includes a built-in beach wood entertainment unit. Wooden doors provide a seamless transition to the outdoor entertainment area.

The kitchen includes custom-built beach wood cabinets and stainless-steel benchtops. A 900mm cooker, dishwasher and high breakfast bar are other standouts.

With four bedrooms, there will be plenty of room for guests or one can be used for a playroom or study. A large bedroom on the ground floor has a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite with stone-topped vanity.

A curved wooden staircase with steel balustrade ascends to two good-sized bedrooms, which are perfect for children. They have built-in wardrobes, split-system airconditioning units and holland blinds.

Also on this floor, the massive main bedroom is an ideal parents’ hideaway with a sitting room basking in the glow of bay views, a private balcony, a huge fitted walk-in wardrobe and en suite with large shower. The main bathroom has a deep bath. Also on this level, a retreat with a pitched roof, built-in shelving and magnificent bay views offers a further haven to unwind.

A laundry with external access and ample linen cupboards complete the package.

Outside there is a paved entertainment area with shade sail, fruit trees, garden beds and cubby house.

A remote-controlled double garage has glass sliding doors and entry from the back.
