Privacy, Space and Soul on the Bellarine
Description
Tucked behind a canopy of established trees on a generous 680sqm allotment, this property offers a rare blend of character, comfort and lifestyle opportunity in one of Drysdale's most convenient locations. With the oval at your back door and the town centre moments away, this split-level three-bedroom home delivers the kind of relaxed, nature-connected living that the Bellarine Peninsula does so well. Inside, the home's split-level layout creates a natural separation of spaces that feels both considered and liveable. The main living room is genuinely impressive, with soaring vaulted ceilings and exposed dark timber beams giving the room a warmth and architectural presence that you simply don't find in new builds. A split-system air conditioner, ducted heating and ceiling fans keep it comfortable year-round. The updated kitchen is well-appointed with white cabinetry, a gas freestanding cooker, subway tile splashback and a handy breakfast bar. It flows directly into the casual dining area, which also opens to the outdoors, making everyday meals and weekend entertaining equally effortless. All three bedrooms are generously proportioned and fitted with brand new carpet, ceiling fans and built-in robes. The master features a full wall of rich timber built-ins with overhead storage. The two updated bathrooms are bright and contemporary, presenting in near-new condition throughout. The outdoor spaces are where this property truly comes into its own. A long undercover veranda runs the length of the home, lined with established tropical plantings that create a genuinely private and lush entertaining corridor. Beyond, the garden unfolds across multiple zones, with a charming timber-framed gazebo for alfresco relaxing, space for vegetable gardens, a greenhouse for the keen grower, and expansive lawns framed by mature trees. A powered workshop, water tanks and a carport round out the practical inclusions. Backing directly onto the Drysdale Primary oval with Drysdale Village Shopping Centre, Coles and another full suite of schooling options, from Bellarine Secondary and St Ignatius College to St Thomas Primary and Christian College, all within easy reach. Whether you're a family seeking space and schools, a downsizer wanting a private garden sanctuary, or a buyer searching for a home with genuine soul, this one deserves your attention.
