Skenes Creek VIC 3233

Rarely does an opportunity like this come along to purchase such a classic house in largely original condition. Situated on a generous 667sqm corner block just a few minutes' walk from the beach, this Skenes Creek original is perfect for the retro house enthusiast. With spacious living areas and plenty of original features, including polished timber floors and classic louvre windows, the potential is enormous.

Set in a tranquil environment amongst majestic gum trees, this property has pretty mountain views from the elevated front deck and a large bush garden with paved area including a brick barbeque for outdoor entertaining. Inside, there are two double bedrooms and a bunk room, all serviced by a central bathroom. The large lounge and dining rooms are heated by a Nectre wood burner built into the original oak bookcases. The generous kitchen still maintains its original cabinetry. Other retained original features of this classic building style include strapped walls and high ceilings, a built-in retro buffet in the dining room and stunning original glass feature doors. These quirky details throughout the home transport you back to the 60s, while offering the opportunity to renovate and modernise still retaining that retro charm.

Whether you choose to preserve the house as is, or perhaps to use the current house as a base for a retro-inspired extension/renovation (STCA) this property offers endless possibilities for the savvy buyer and lovers of this style of architecture. Don't miss out on this opportunity to own a piece of Australian beach history!
