15 Burchell Close, Corinella, Vic 3984

That is how the owners sum up 15 Burchell Close, and it is a fair place to start. Set on 679m² in a quiet Corinella close, this single storey four bedroom home gives you room to spread out inside and plenty of lawn to do the same outside, with the bay and its evening light close at hand.

The living, dining and kitchen run together across the back of the home in one open space, with windows along the rear wall drawing in the light. The kitchen has an island bench, a walk-in pantry and a run of cabinetry along the wall, so the cook stays in the conversation rather than tucked away from it. Sliding doors open to a covered outdoor area, the natural spot for a table and a quiet drink at the end of the day.

The main bedroom sits at the front, away from the other three, with its own ensuite and twin basins. Bedrooms two, three and four are grouped along the other side of the home around the family bathroom, which has a separate bath and shower, and a separate toilet. All three have built-in robes. A laundry with outdoor access sits in the middle of that wing, and the double garage opens straight into the entry so the shopping comes in out of the weather.

Solar panels on the roof help with the power bills, and the block leaves generous open lawn to the side and rear for kids, pets, a vegetable patch or a shed, side access and split system heating and cooling,

Corinella is one of the quieter corners of Western Port, with the foreshore, jetty and boat ramp a short drive or walk away and the Bass Highway within easy reach for the run to Melbourne. For downsizers, young families or anyone after a sea change with space to move, this is a home that asks very little and gives back every evening.
