85 Bayview Road, Merricks Beach, Vic 3926

Cradled down a quiet coastal road within footsteps of the foreshore and the glassy waters of Merricks Beach beyond, this original 1950s beach house sits on 858sqm in a tightly held beachside enclave just a few minutes' drive to bustling Balnarring village.

Offering a blue-chip opportunity to secure a large seaside allotment to construct your dream home (STCA) or luxurious weekend retreat, the level site offers abundant room for a spacious residence and even a pool backdropped by the salty sea breezes of Western Port.

Brimming with mid-century charm, the three-bedroom beach house currently on the site includes a luminous open-plan living area with timber floors and panelled walls, a wraparound balcony, basic bathroom facilities on both levels, an original kitchen with electric oven, bay glimpses through the trees, storeroom and carport.

The existing residence also offers ample scope for a modern renovation incorporating some of the adorable 1950s aesthetic, or to simply enjoy as a fuss-free holiday getaway just over an hour from Melbourne and 300m from the beach.

Surrounded by wineries, horse-riding trails, surf breaks and a wonderful selection of cafes, bakeries and restaurants in Balnarring village, this enviable offering will appeal to permanent and part-time residents alike.
