4 Wilby Street

Sorrento VIC 3943

Cocooned by a high, clipped hedge, this tranquil and private family retreat celebrates Sorrentos raw natural beauty and relaxed coastal lifestyle, with luxe timber and limestone accents, a solar-heated swimming pool and swathes of silvered decking with sublime coastal outlooks in a glorious garden setting.

Generously proportioned and designed to capture abundant natural light and cross ventilation, the coastal style and ambiance is enhanced with hardwood timber flooring and white-washed walls lined with tongue and groove panelling. Towering vaulted ceilings cap the main open plan living, dining and entertaining zone, flanked by a wall of glass with louvre windows and sliding doors oriented towards the decked alfresco area, studio/pavilion, and salt-water swimming pool. This vast interior space is anchored by a full-height limestone fireplace, superbly hand-crafted from locally quarried stone and finished off with a rustic timber mantle that once graced the Sorrento pier. The kitchen, defined by an extra wide timber-topped island bench, features an 80cm Ilve freestanding cooker, a large, powered walk-in pantry and an integrated double-glass door fridge. Three generous sized bedrooms, all with built-in robes, are at the front of the house along with the family bathroom and a separate powder room. The main bedroom has a stylish ensuite and garden outlook, while another has a stone fireplace and wainscoted walls. The spacious pavilion, with split system heating/cooling houses another bathroom and laundry, and is ideal for guest or holiday accommodation, or as a studio/home office.

Includes electric heating, ceiling fans, under-house water storage and auto irrigation for the wonderful ornamental gardens and productive vegetable beds. Beautifully located in a quiet, tranquil street, its a short walk to Sorrento shops and cafes and is within earshot of the ocean beach.
