461 Hood Road

Quietly embedded within one of the Bellarine's more understated coastal pockets, this solid brick residence presents a rare landholding opportunity shaped by unhurried seaside living. Set across a flat 557 sqm allotment just moments from Billy's Beach, Anderson Reserve and the Grassy Point Boat Ramp, this address signals a lifestyle defined by morning swims, boating days and long foreshore walks. Constructed in 1985, the home reflects the enduring integrity of its era, its brick form and single level footprint providing a robust foundation for reinvention. Original interiors reveal arched openings, timber veneer panelling and retro mosaic tiling, nostalgic in tone yet rich with scope for contemporary reinterpretation. Living and dining zones unfold with comfortable proportions, connected to the kitchen via a servery pass. Updated with a stainless steel oven, gas cooktop and generous bench space, the kitchen is immediately functional while offering clear potential to modernise. Two bedrooms with built-in robes are serviced by a central bathroom, while an oversized laundry introduces flexibility to convert into a third bedroom, studio or home office. Outdoors, the level rear yard offers excellent usability and scope to landscape, extend or reconfigure (STCA). Double gated access leads to the carport, garage and workshop spaces, supporting trades, storage or marine pursuits, while a greenhouse encourages productive kitchen gardening. For those thinking long term, the allotment also lends itself to redevelopment (STCA). Design and construct a contemporary coastal residence moments from Half Moon Bay, renowned snorkelling reefs, fishing grounds and the vibrant Portarlington precinct. Coastal trails link surrounding townships, while the Port Phillip Ferry connects directly to Melbourne. Whether renovated, reimagined or entirely rebuilt, this property presents as a foothold in one of the Bellarine's most naturally rewarding coastal environments.
