18 Timaru Close, Sorrento, Vic 3943

Elevated at the end of a cul de sac, this property provides expansive views of Port Phillip bay across the Moonahs and Ti-tree. To the east you’ll see the masts of  Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron swaying in the breeze, a little further around is Arthurs Seat and further still, the Cape Schank lighthouse. Towards the south-west you can see the Koonya Beach sand dunes and catch the colours in the sky as the sun goes down. This light and airy four bedroom, three bathroom hideaway sits on 1189 sqm* in a quiet, elevated section of Sorrento.

Previously a yoga retreat for its sanctuary like ambience, this flexible family home offers two separate levels of self-contained accommodation, making it perfect for extended family or friends to stay, or an option for extra income for short term stays. The upper level is surrounded by deep balconies including an enclosed, glassed in conservatory terrace that maximises the views of the glistening bay. There are two generous living areas including one with a Jetmaster open fireplace, and the rooms are separated by a generous white kitchen with timber counter and Miele dishwasher. The expansive main bedroom has a two stage walk in robe with lift access and roof access, a breakfast balcony and a tasteful ensuite. The lower level has two sections – one section has two bedrooms with built in robes, and a large bathroom and huge laundry. The second section has a fabulous downstairs games room with kitchenette, and a third downstairs bedroom with ensuite and single robe.

Recently re-carpeted in some rooms and repainted, this spacious haven is appointed with ducted heating/cooling, a gas space heater, ducted vacuum, private lift for wheelchair or 2 people and a double auto garage with caravan/boat parking bay on an exposed aggregate drive. There are several pockets of gardens, including a space to add a pool if desired, and sun filled verandahs to lap up the winter warmth.

Tucked away on the perfectly positioned, brick-paved Timaru Close, you're just a short stroll to the hidden gem of Diamond Bay Beach renowned for delivering the Peninsula’s most breathtaking ocean sunsets. Head the other way and you’ll find Tideway's Beach, a calm and family-friendly spot perfect for relaxed swims. For your morning coffee, follow a secret track to the charming Koonya Milk Bar, or take the paved bike and walking path that links you to the laid-back buzz of Blairgowrie Village in one direction, and the upscale lifestyle of Sorrento’s Main Street in the other.
