20 Lister Avenue, Sorrento, Vic 3943

More than a beach getaway, this celebrated five-bedroom, three-bathroom cedar home is famously known as the ‘Hafey’ home – owned by football legend Tommy Hafey and his family since the 1960s, and the place for casual drop-ins, love and laughter, and the heartbeat of endless summers. Four bedrooms are situated in the main residence, with a fully self-contained one-bedroom studio at the rear, completed circa 2021. Renovated over time to add modern comfort to its rambling charm, this relaxed haven sits in a designer landscape by Susie Andrews, who collaborated with a local native plant expert to enhance the outdoor living spaces across this 1148sqm* hinterland beauty.

Maximising the northern sun, this idyllic escape enjoys a relaxed lounge with deep bench seating, a subway tiled kitchen with Miele appliances, a sun splashed meals area with stacker sliding doors onto the fabulous alfresco deck with deck seating; up to four bedrooms – including a bunk room, a versatile second living/bedroom with ensuite, a renovated bathroom, separate laundry and a fun ‘outhouse’ style powder room for when extra guests decide to stay. The studio is stylish with its Black Butt cabinetry in the kitchen and bathroom, has bi-fold doors onto its own deck, and a secluded sun bathing area, with the potential to make additional income or love it as separate guest quarters.

Stylish with its limed original floorboards, this happy home is comfortable with ducted heating, reverse cycle air conditioning, loads of outdoor storage for beach/sporting equipment, and plenty of parking including a carport and various parking bays.

Metres to the gorgeous family friendly Tideways Beach and the Couta Boat Club, moments to Sorrento’s café and restaurant scene, beautiful walks along both bay and ocean beaches, and numerous clubs including surf lifesaving, boating, fishing and tennis.
