12 Coatsworth Avenue, St LeonardsVIC

Have you been dreaming of a sea change? Ideally positioned within walking distance to the beach, this home will delight first homebuyers, families and holiday-makers alike.

Soaking up the northern sunshine, the front porch entices you to sit back and embrace this laidback lifestyle. The open plan living/dining zone welcomes you inside, where floorboards and a pitched ceiling evoke a coastal ambience. A wood heater creates a cosy setting during the cooler months, while the dining area opens onto the shady front deck. The kitchen exudes eclectic charm with timber benchtops, a built-in pantry and oven/electric cooktop. Three bedrooms (one with built-in robes and backyard access) are serviced by the main bathroom, while the laundry and separate toilet complete the layout. Two air conditioners and ceiling fans keep you cool during the summer months.

Lush ferns line the sheltered alfresco, which creates a generous setting for entertaining family and friends. You’ll love how the grapevine provides leafy shade from the afternoon sun. Gorgeous gardens surround the entire home, with the west-facing backyard providing plenty of space for children and pets to play freely. Home to fruit trees and a veggie garden, you can enjoy figs, olives, apples and more, straight from the source. The gated driveway provides plenty of parking, while the backyard accommodates one vehicle.

The morning school run is a breeze thanks to St Leonards Primary School a heartbeat from the front door. The local shopping strip takes care of all your shopping and dining needs, while the foreshore invites you to enjoy fun-filled days at the beach. Public transport and sporting grounds are also within walking distance, along with the St Leonards Golf Club. Just jump in the car, and you’ll soon be at the St Leonards Boat Ramp.
