Cottage Near The Sea

First home buyers or downsizers looking for a chic and affordable property will appreciate the considerable charm at this quaint Emerald Beach cottage.

Located within a five minute walk of one of the area's best local surfing beaches (about 850 metres), along with facilities like the general store and well-known cafes, this two-storey cottage is tucked away behind white gates and a lush hedge, affording ample privacy.

A spacious front yard with low maintenance plantings and a gravel driveway lead to the single lock up garage, with plenty of room in front for your extra vehicle. Steps lead up to in-built seating on the front verandah, and entry into the timber kitchen with its French country style white grooved doors, warm honey timber bench tops and Emilia freestanding cooker with gas cook top.

A double sink, corner pantry and Siemens dishwasher all make good use of the space and while additional stylish touches, include a trio of pendant lights.

The adjoining open plan living area with its down lights, plantation shutters and wood fire add to the warm feel evoked in the open plan living area, which makes the most of the space, while storage under the stairs helps keep things uncluttered here.

Air conditioning in the dining area (there's another unit in the Master bedroom upstairs) is another touch of luxury to keep things comfortable when you head home from the beach or cafes.

The cottage appeal continues around the corner in the stylish bathroom, there's a separate toilet and a good-sized laundry leading out to the garage and rear yard. (The bulk of the land space is actually at the front of the block, providing privacy, a good set back from the street, and plenty of space for kids to play or to keep the pets happy).

Upstairs there's a second living space off the two bedrooms, which would either be a combined living/study or the ideal spot for a day/bed or guest sleeping quarters for those occasional visits.


The Master bedroom has a wall of white built-in cupboards on one side of the room, and ample space for your queen bed and signature furniture, with the soaring roof void adding to its considerable character, while the second bedroom at the other end of the mezzanine space has a built-in wardrobe.

In terms of outbuildings the property has a couple of extras - there's a sizeable chook run at the rear of the block and the ideal cat run off to one side of the driveway at the front.

Emerald Beach is a well established, thriving local community with facilities like cafes, La Hacienda 101 Mexican Restaurant and even a local takeaway store. You can take a yoga class and have your hair cut without leaving the suburb, while the large supermarket complex at Moonee is an easy five minute drive away - and Park Beach Plaza is about 10 minutes away.
