146 Surf Parade, Inverloch, Vic 3996

The property is positioned in a highly desirable area located just minutes from the sparkling sands of the Inverloch surf beach and a short stroll to the township to enjoy a morning coffee or revel in the many walks and paths in the area. The fabulous home over two levels is set sensitively into the coastal landscape and reveals sustainable principles and cutting-edge technology which at the time of planning and construction, were well before their time. A wide north-facing orientation, thermally efficient materials including a local sandstone brick and concrete slab providing strong thermal mass, double glazing, superb heating and cooling solutions, excellent cross ventilation, comprehensive insulation throughout, over 9kW of solar, rainwater storage via numerous tanks plus a water filtration system for potable water are just some of the clever features on offer.   

The property reflects serious considerations of style, comfort and function and offers a clever and flexible floor plan for contemporary lifestyles. Entry at ground level to the main home is found on the left where a wide carpeted staircase provides a graceful link to the second level. Banks of glass capture the light from the north and the south showcasing beautifully the expansive open plan areas for living, dining, and 
entertaining whilst the well-appointed kitchen forms the heart of the home. The flow from the internal spaces to the entertaining decks provides a seamless and logical transition and effortless alfresco dining and outdoor living options.

The division between the private and social spaces is also well considered. Two generously proportioned and stylish main suites with external links to the decks are located at opposite ends of the home on this level. Both bedrooms have walk-in robes and connect to a large central shared bathroom incorporating laundry facilities. The bedrooms are separated from the social spaces by a magnificent library featuring striking timber cabinetry and a sliding ladder for easy access to the upper shelves on one side and custom cupboards for linen and an ironing board on the other.

Downstairs on the right, self-contained living quarters offer a fabulous amenity. A study or home office with two external entrances could also serve as a fourth bedroom if desired. A very large bedroom nearby could accommodate several beds or bunks and is well-serviced by an ensuite bathroom. A long galley kitchen flows to a huge second living room with floor-to-ceiling glass sliders open to the private north-facing rear garden and paved courtyard. 

The property includes electronic shutters on all windows and external doors, floating timber flooring in the living upstairs, soft carpet in the bedrooms and tiles in the wet areas, a second laundry with shower downstairs, a tandem double garage with access through to the rear, a workshop/storeroom and two handy garden sheds for garden implements and the like. The landscaping enjoys the iconic coastal theme with space for extra planting or play incorporated into an extremely well-utilized block. The emphasis here is on low-maintenance living that also creates a magnificent relaxed ambiance. The home would be highly desirable to like-minded families seeking a coastal lifestyle and experience within a very special property. House: 339sqm (plus decks, verandahs, and garage) Land: 713sqm
