More than period grace, more than a great beachside corner, this is a fine Edwardian renovation with a landmark corner site and the bay’s most beautiful beaches at the door. Sitting pretty on the edge of Sandringham’s famous Poet’s Corner, sweeping around the bay, Avalon c.1912 offers a traditional three bedroom, 1.5 bathroom accommodation with today’s light-filled dual-zone living – including a grand formal lounge with French doors to a wraparound return verandah, and expansive family living-dining with light-catching northern exposure. Renovated with an eye to coastal style and prestige beachside lifestyle, this single-level home shines with an elite Miele appliance kitchen designed to entertain with a bi-fold servery, and a designer bathroom with natural stones echoing the beach tones. Coolly coastal against a backdrop of warm Baltic pine floors, lofty decorative ceilings and light-catching leadlight, this enchanting Edwardian is reimagined for how we live now; with pure white walls, sleek stone benchtops and airy sheer curtains. Perfectly practical with heating, reverse-cycle air-conditioning and a warming faux-fireplace, there’s robe and attic storage, the ease of a well-fitted conveniently situated laundry and a curvaceous entertainers’ deck to enjoy the al fresco attributes. Best of all, there’s this sun-filled north-easterly corner site to provide lifestyle value for today and endless value-adding potential for tomorrow. Wrapped by pretty picket-fencing with lawns for the kids to play and easy-access auto-garaging for peace-of-mind, these sun-filled grounds offers endless scope to capitalise on this blue-chip corner position neighbouring some of Sandringham’s finest homes. Situated at the junction of Sandringham’s grandest boulevards, four doors from arguably the best beach in Port Phillip Bay under the tranquil surrounds of the iconic Red Bluff Cliffs and the prestigious Bay Trail, this blue-chip beauty is just 200m to the sand. The Sandringham village within a four-block beachfront walk, the train to the CBD within a last minute dash and the Brighton Senior Schools just three stops down the line. Just 450 meters down the road is Firbank Grammar co-educational Primary School and Early Learning Centre. Only one street separates the Royal Avenue Park, including Tennis Courts, Children’s Playground and spacious dog friendly surrounds. A short trip down the road, awaiting your discovery is the Merindah Park Sanctuary and Native bushland walking trails and also the modern facilities providing access to the Soccer, Baseball and Cricket Grounds, with the soon to be completed Bayside Netball Development and the world renowned Golf Courses on your doorstep.
