Here, the bay is measured not in minutes but in footsteps. Hidden within the leafy privacy of the Lower Bluff approximately 50 metres from Port Phillip Bay, this two storey coastal residence places beach access, shoreline walking tracks and the natural expanse of Edwards Point Wildlife Reserve within immediate reach. The Yacht Club, boat ramp and town centre sit close by, yet the home holds its own sense of quiet behind established greenery and a contemporary facade.The lower level has been shaped for connection, function and an easy movement to the outdoors. A dedicated office sits near the entry, while the rear of the home opens into a generous kitchen, dining and living domain warmed by timber floors and a calm, neutral palette. The crisp white kitchen is clean and capable, with quality stainless steel appliances, mosaic tiled splashback and an island bench that naturally draws the day around it. Broad sliding doors extend to a large undercover alfresco and landscaped lawn, creating a seamless setting for summer lunches, post beach evenings and relaxed entertaining.Upstairs, the home gives family life the separation it deserves. Four bedrooms are privately positioned on the upper level, led by a main suite with walk-in robe, ensuite and leafy outlooks. Three further bedrooms include built-in robes and are serviced by a central bathroom and separate toilet, while a light-filled lounge adds a second living space for reading, children, guest overflow or quiet retreat.Established garden surrounds and generous outdoor space give the property a rare sense of enclosure close to the water, while ducted gas heating, split-system a/c, a powder room, double garage and parking options for a boat or caravan support the ease of permanent living. From here, the bay becomes part of the everyday. Fishing at first light, snorkelling clear summer shallows, walking the reserve trails, launching from the boat ramp or heading into the growing village centre for coffee, dinner and essentials. And when the pier fills with salty haired children and the air shifts cool, home waits quietly just footsteps from it all.- North facing alfresco made for lunch that runs late- Upper level bedroom wing with its own quiet lounge- Lawn space ready for bocce, cricket and bare feet- Boat or caravan parking for weekends that travel well- Leafy garden privacy in the prized Lower Bluff pocket- Beach, pier and reserve trails folded into daily life
