If this home was located anywhere else in Barwon Heads it would be a fabulous prospect as a spacious and comfortable family home. However, that is only half the story! This lovely 5 bedroom home is set back on a huge 901m2 block located on the corner of Memorial Lane and Barwon Head's charismatic main street, in a section zoned for Mixed Use (ie. allowing both residential dwellings and business enterprises).
Frontage to both Hitchcock Avenue and Memorial Lane provides exceptional access. There is plenty of room, front and rear of residence, all in all allowing a range of fabulous scenarios.
1. Live in and enjoy the superb existing family home in a premium location
2. Retain the existing residence for family living or rental and develop the front of the property as a commercial enterprise/s;
3. Demolish the existing residence and develop the front of the property as commercial enterprise/s and build new residential dwelling/s at the rear (architect drawn plans consistent with the Barwon Heads Structure Plan 2010 exist for this option);
4. Demolish the existing residence and develop the entire site with new residential dwelling/s.

A discrete front facade hides a wonderful family home, well maintained and tastefully updated. There are three living areas brilliantly lit by a wall of north-facing windows that run the length of the home. The cosy lounge is at the front of the home with a brick Coonara fireplace. A spacious, bright, informal living space overlooks the shaded patio area and a rumpus room opens onto the three single bedrooms and a study at the rear.
Opening from the lounge are a double sized bedroom (or home office) and main bedroom (with private courtyard, walk-in-robe and en-suite). The impressive kitchen is adjacent to the informal living space which has an induction stove, electric oven and a butler's pantry. There is a large laundry with in-built storage, a roomy compartment bathroom, ducted vacuum, ducted air-conditioning, solar hot water, monitored security alarm, a double lock-up-garage and double-gated Memorial lane access to the generous grassy back garden.
This inviting home is quiet and private, despite its front-row location only steps from Barwon Head's irresistible cafes and boutiques. It definitely is a brilliant option for any family!
