6 Andrew Crescent, Tootgarook, Vic 3941

Tucked away in an elevated coastal cul-de-sac with views of Arthurs Seat as the backdrop, this stylishly renovated single-level four-bedroom Tootgarook home features an expansive alfresco entertaining deck with the added luxury of a built-in heated hydrotherapy pool. 

Surrounded by established native landscaped gardens that attract an abundance of birdlife, the Hardiplank-clad weatherboard home sits harmoniously in its natural environment. ‘Cooinda’, meaning ‘happy place’ has been a much cherished holiday home held by the same family for the past 22 years, and has undergone a major custom renovation around a decade ago. Oriented towards the north-west, the light-filled open plan living area with hardwood timber flooring and a wood fire heater has glass sliding doors that open out to the alfresco deck and gas-heated pool area that overlooks a lush lawn and is privately cocooned in lush native greenery. Defined by a bespoke island bench with breakfast bar area, the gleaming stone kitchen is well equipped with a Glem gas cooktop, a wall oven, an integrated microwave and a dishwasher. There are four good-sized bedrooms, three with custom built-in mirrored-door robes, and the fourth with a split-system heater/cooler and lovely garden outlooks. The stylish tiled combined bathroom and laundry has a large walk-in shower, double basins, and ceiling heater/fan, and is complemented by a separate powder room. Additional features include gas central heating and split system cooling, plenty of built-in storage, a double carport, new brush fencing, and an access ramp to the entry deck.

This tranquil Tootgarook neighbourhood, edged by the Tootgarook wetlands reserve, is serviced by a local café and milk bar, while Bay beaches are just a 10-15 minute walk away. An ideal central Peninsula holiday location, hot springs, surf beaches, golf courses and wineries are all within a few minutes’ drive, and equally ideal for family living with schools, transport, sports fields, shopping and services close by.
