56 St Pauls Road, Sorrento, Vic 3943

Beautifully immersed in its coastal garden setting, this classic timber beach house offers a serene Peninsula escape in a prized position just metres from St Pauls General Store and an easy stroll to the foreshore, ocean beach and vibrant village. Framed by high ceilings, extensive glazing and generous front and rear decks, the home captures a wonderful sense of calm, with morning sunshine filtering through twisting ti-trees and native birdlife, before lazy afternoons unfold on the sunny rear terrace overlooking the private garden. Designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living, the flowing floorplan centres around an open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge, where huge sliding doors extend the living space to the alfresco deck. A stone island bench, European appliances and ample cabinetry define the kitchen, while the adjoining sitting room with open fireplace adds warmth and character. Privately zoned, the parents’ retreat is a peaceful sanctuary with a spacious bedroom, walk-in robe, decadent ensuite, garden access and dedicated home office. Two additional bedrooms with built-in robes, including one with French doors to the backyard, are served by a modern family bathroom, large laundry and powder room. Outdoors, the bore-irrigated, Indigenous garden has been created for relaxed enjoyment, with built-in timber seating, a mains-connected barbecue, pizza oven, raised vegetable beds and sprawling lawn. A separate workshop and bungalow add further flexibility, with the bungalow offering a timber-lined vaulted ceiling, fourth bedroom, living zone and ensuite, ideal for extended family, teens or guests. Complete with ducted heating, split-system air conditioning, gas log fireplace, two freestanding bathtubs, tandem carport with storage shed and remote security gates, this tranquil haven places village life, surf, sand and bay within easy reach.
