Just five minutes' walk from the beach, shops and cafes of Apollo Bay, this cute coastal cottage offers 3 bedrooms and plenty of living space. Set on 656 sqm in a tranquil locale, the cottage has been tastefully renovated by its current owners and exudes a modern coastal vibe.

Entry through the north-facing front deck leads into a large open plan living, dining, and kitchen area featuring raked timber ceilings that enhance the sense of space. Natural light floods the home thanks to dual aspect windows and additional sliding doors that open to a rear deck, overlooking a large private garden.

The interior decor has a soft, neutral, modern palette that complements the coastal vibe and makes the home both stylish and welcoming. Polished timber boards run throughout the property, giving a cohesive look. The updated kitchen is both practical and elegant, equipped with an electric combination oven and an induction cooktop.

Each of the three generously-sized double bedrooms are filled with natural light and located off a central hallway. These rooms share amenities, including a bathroom with integrated laundry and a separate toilet. Like the living areas, the bedrooms feature soaring raked timber-lined ceilings and continue the soft, neutral modern decor.

Additional comforts include a split system heater/cooler in the living area, quality updated window furnishings, and a gas instantaneous hot water service. Outside, the expansive and very private backyard is fully fenced for the safety of children and pets and offers a large lawn area and plenty of room for a potential extension of the dwelling (STCA) or to establish a vegetable garden. There is also a woodshed and lockable garden shed.

This home is ideal for those looking for a low-maintenance "lock-up and leave" property that does not compromise on style or location, embodying a perfect blend of privacy and accessibility just minutes from the beach and township.
