4 Evans Court, Apollo Bay, VIC

Soaked in sunlight all year round, this beautifully kept home is the perfect retreat. The wide driveway brings you to a double garage complete with man cave and a secret spot to store your boat. The garden is perfect for a party and wafts of jasmine and rose hit you as you walk to the vegetable patch where herbs and greens for dinner grow. A downstairs door leads to a bedroom/sitting room complete with its own bathroom, perfect for guests, ideal as a retreat for family members. At this level there is also a potting shed with plenty of room for garden tools and toys. Staircases on both sides lead to elegant upstairs living. There are two large lounge spaces, a kitchen (with the best views of the ocean to gaze at over the chopping board), and two light, airy bedrooms. A sweeping verandah at the front is the perfect place for sunrise watching over morning coffee and a wood-burning fire in winter adds to the comfort of this lovely, lofty home tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac just off the Great Ocean Road.
