151 Crown Road, Queenscliff

Combining the ambience of the early 1900s and clever contemporary architectural reimagining with spectacular alfresco entertaining areas and resort-like tropical gardens, this phenomenal family beach house is more than just a home .... it's a lifestyle. Soaring across two bright and breezy levels, its expansive layout boasts three separate living areas, stylish modern finishes and seamless flow to a vast covered entertainers' terrace at the rear with a covered Jacuzzi overlooking a sparkling heated pool. Nestled on 654sqm with near-level north rear lawn framed by exquisitely landscaped tropical beach gardens - a labour of love procured over 20 years, its enviable lifestyle address is only a three minute stroll to the boutique shops and vibrant eateries at trendy Freshwater Village and a lazy eight minute stroll to the rolling waves at Freshwater Beach.
