76 Beatrice Street, Cheltenham, Vic 3192

This beautifully improved coastal home maximises its east-facing position, sitting along a quiet corridor around the bend from Kingston Heath Reserve.

The design concept is based on a simple composition, with the floor plan moving seamlessly between semi-distinct areas for living, dining, and entertaining. Upon entry, the visual impact of the alfresco oasis is suspended until arriving at the north-facing sunroom, as it flows outside to paved lounging areas, in-ground pool, and spa.

A restrained and robust material palette, appropriate with such proximity to the sea, include hardwood flooring and painted brickwork, which appear in muted, monochromatic colours that are elegant yet understated. Vaulted ceilings and an excess of glass add a sense of light and loft, which are thematically complemented by the intimacy afforded by the formal living room with open-fireplace.

Calm and neutral interiors find their counterpart in the inspired colours of the undercover alfresco. Its rich and vibrant palette is immediately inviting, with an outdoor pizza oven finishing the space.

Boasting four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a mudroom, and central kitchen with adjoining laundry/scullery, this intelligently redesigned and beautifully styled property is steps from Farm Road Preschool and Kingston Heath Primary, and places Southland Shopping Centre, Cheltenham Station Village, and Mentone Mall within close reach.
