15 Bayview Crescent

Black Rock VIC 3193

Shining with north sun, sparkling with fresh polish, Wakefield C. 1885 offers an invaluable opportunity for gracious period living at this Golden beachside address. Iron-laced and bay-windowed less than 10 doors to the beach-crossing, this three bedroom Victorian beauty unfolds in free-flowing with a formal lounge spilling into sun-filled casual living, while French-doors open northwards to a covered patio and easy-care paved gardens beyond.

Timeless by design with a sparkling Miele appliance and Calacatta marble kitchen (with integrated dishwasher) echoing the bay-windowed facade, this classic beauty retains its original spirit with a period-inspired bathroom with marble-topped vanity (this time, Carrera), and a handy separate WC. Styled with a separate laundry with immense farmhouse-sink, this centrally heated and split-system air-conditioned home features vintage fireplaces (2 gas-fitted for everyday use), and privacy-enhancing plantation-shutters all against a backdrop of lofty 3m ceilings, pretty picture rails, and rich Baltic pine and Australian hardwood floors.

Set in carefree lawn-free grounds beyond a sympathetically-styled double carport, there’s all-day sun to entertain in, and a fruitful feature-lit landscape of old orchard trees to provide shade. With 2200L water-storage to keep the garden lush and an 18-panel solar-energy system to keep power bills down, this well-appointed home even has a choice of secure sheds to store the board, bikes and boat-bits!
