6B Kelvin Grove, Chelsea, Vic 3196

Just a few doors from the water, this as-new contemporary residence claims a position that cannot be replicated - steps down a cobblestone lane to the golden sands of Chelsea Beach, with no roads to cross.

Upstairs, the reverse-living design delivers the moment that sells the home: a striking architectural balcony, sleek and glass-fronted with cantilevered ends, framing the views over the water. Open-plan living and dining flows out to meet it, anchored by a state-of-the-art kitchen with stone island bench and waterfall edge, 900mm stainless steel cooker with feature range hood, dishwasher, and glass splash back with feature tiling. A study nook and powder room complete the level.

Downstairs, three bedrooms all feature built-in robes, headed by a main bedroom with ensuite, alongside a central bathroom and European laundry. Stone benchtops feature in every bathroom including the powder room, while square-set ceilings, warm timber floors, ducted heating, split-system comfort, a remote garage and additional off-street parking complete the package.

Low-maintenance throughout with nothing left to spend, including no owners corp. fees to pay, it is equally suited as a lock-and-leave beach weekender, a downsizer's easy-care base or a set-and-forget investment.

Beach, station, shops, schools and cafes are all only a short stroll away.
