$1,350,000
Tucked away amongst lush, established gardens in the much-loved "Old Apollo Bay" pocket of town, Villa St Martin is a home with heart. Within easy walking distance of the beach, shops, cafés, restaurants and Apollo Bay's vibrant main street, it offers the best of coastal living right at your doorstep.
Warm, welcoming and wonderfully private, the home captures that relaxed seaside feeling that makes Apollo Bay such a special place to call home.
Set on approximately 700m², the property is surrounded by mature gardens, productive fruit trees, sunny lawns and inviting outdoor spaces. Expansive north and south-facing Merbau decks create beautiful places to follow the sun throughout the day, whether it's morning coffee overlooking the garden, a long lunch with friends or a quiet evening enjoying the fresh coastal air.
Inside, the freshly painted ground floor is filled with warmth and character. The north-facing open-plan living area enjoys garden and hillside outlooks, complemented by new floorboards, VJ wall panelling and a cosy wood fire that creates an inviting atmosphere through the cooler months. The generous kitchen offers excellent storage and bench space, breakfast bar seating and a combination of quality appliances, making it a wonderful hub for everyday living and entertaining.
Two bedrooms are located downstairs, including one of two generous main bedroom options. This spacious bedroom features an extensive robe area and sits conveniently adjacent to the beautifully appointed bathroom with spa bath, separate shower and skylight. The second downstairs bedroom also lends itself perfectly to a home office or quiet retreat.
Upstairs reveals another dimension to this unique home. Designed from the outset with flexibility in mind, this light-filled, self-contained space features two further bedrooms, including a second main bedroom with walk-in robe and ensuite, along with a relaxed living area and kitchenette. Soaring raked ceilings, private balconies and lovely outlooks towards the surrounding hills and gardens add to the sense of space and escape.
With its own private entry and the ability to be securely separated from downstairs, the upper level has previously operated as successful guest accommodation. This creates wonderful possibilities for those seeking a home with income potential, guest retreat, holiday accommodation or flexible space for extended family.
Outside, the established gardens are a delight in their own right, with a mix of native and exotic plantings, fruit trees, vegetable and herb gardens and secluded corners to sit and unwind. Rear laneway access, extensive off-street parking, a tandem garage, rainwater tanks and 17 solar panels add another layer of practicality to this charming coastal property.
Whether you're dreaming of a permanent sea change, a much-loved family escape or a lifestyle property with flexible accommodation possibilities, Villa St Martin offers something truly special.
Here in "Old Apollo Bay", the beach, shops and main street are all just a stroll away, the hills form a beautiful backdrop and home feels like a retreat.
Villa St Martin isn't simply a place to live. It's a place to slow down, breathe deeply and embrace the rhythm of life by the sea.
