This truly impressive residence is a home of grand proportions, offering five spacious bedrooms, four generously sized living zones and a dedicated study - an exceptional choice for families seeking space, flexibility and comfort with room for everyone to spread out. Situated just over one kilometre from Portarlington's vibrant retail and café hub, and approximately one kilometre from the bay, its safe swimming beaches and picturesque foreshore walking trails, the home delivers the very best of convenient seaside living. Life in Portarlington is defined by its relaxed coastal charm, strong community spirit and enviable access to the Bellarine Peninsula's renowned wineries, restaurants and artisan producers, all while enjoying seamless connectivity to the city via the PortarlingtonMelbourne ferry. Set across two well-considered levels, the upper floor forms the heart of the home, where a vast open-plan kitchen, dining and living zone captures stunning views across Port Phillip Bay. Flowing timber floorboards contrast beautifully with a soft neutral colour palette, creating a modern coastal living space designed for effortless everyday living and entertaining. Sliding doors extend this zone to a wrap-around balcony, the perfect vantage point to watch the ever-changing activity on the bay. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with generous bench space and intelligent storage solutions, while reverse-cycle air-conditioning ensures year-round comfort. Completing the upper level is the private master retreat, featuring built-in robes, a stylish ensuite and calming bay vistas. Downstairs, the home continues to impress with three distinct living areas, headlined by the spacious family room that opens through sliding doors to an expansive alfresco zone. This outdoor area is exceptionally well appointed, featuring an outdoor kitchen and seamless connection to the carport and an additional undercover, decked entertaining space - together creating a vast, weather-protected environment ideal for hosting family and friends. A versatile rumpus room, currently configured as a billiard room, offers flexibility to suit formal entertaining, a media room or an inspiring artist's retreat, while the generously sized bar is perfectly designed to accommodate gatherings large or small. A dedicated study provides an ideal work-from-home space. Four bedrooms are located on the lower level, three with built-in robes, all serviced by a central bathroom complete with a spa bath, ideal for relaxing at the end of the day. Parking is abundant with a triple lock-up garage complemented by a single carport, while the ultra-low-maintenance yard is enhanced by neatly maintained garden beds that add a touch of greenery without compromising ease of upkeep. Offering an outstanding combination of space, style, comfort and coastal convenience, this substantial family home presents a rare opportunity to secure a lifestyle-focused residence in one of the Bellarine Peninsula's most sought-after seaside communities.
