45 Scorpio Street, Torquay, Vic 3228

Set across approximately 1.7 acres (7,000m²) of private land, 45 Scorpio Street, Torquay offers a beautiful blend of modern comfort, relaxed country-style living and exceptional lifestyle appeal. Extensively renovated and thoughtfully modernised, this charming brick residence combines warmth and character with beautifully refreshed interiors, generous living spaces and an enviable sense of peace and privacy.

Surrounded by established trees, abundant birdlife and natural bushland, the property enjoys a wonderfully secluded setting, with no neighbouring homes visible from the main living areas.

At the heart of the home is a brand-new kitchen and meals area, featuring stone benchtops, an expansive breakfast bar, 900mm gas cooktop, new appliances and abundant storage. Feature VJ wall panelling and built-in bench seating add warmth and character, while the adjoining lounge provides an inviting space to relax. Flowing directly from the kitchen and dining area, the semi-undercover alfresco creates a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living, ideal for relaxed dining, entertaining and enjoying the surrounding natural beauty.

For those who love to entertain or simply appreciate extra room to spread out, the enormous rumpus room is a standout. Featuring a cosy wood fire, impressive floor-to-ceiling windows and doors, and a newly installed air conditioning unit, this versatile space captures the northern sunshine and enjoys beautiful views across the surrounding greenery.

The home offers four generously sized bedrooms, all with new built-in robes, including a main bedroom with an upgraded ensuite as well as a separate guest bedroom with its own ensuite. Two bedrooms also enjoy direct outdoor access, offering added flexibility and convenience for family members or guests. A separate family bathroom and brand-new laundry complete the home.

Additional improvements include upgrades to the bathrooms, new engineered oak flooring, feature wall panelling, new blinds and sheer curtains, newly installed built-in wardrobes and linen cupboards, along with upgraded lighting both inside and out. Together, these thoughtful enhancements create a cohesive and welcoming home, with much of the hard work already taken care of.

Outside is where this property truly shines. The desirable north-facing backyard enjoys beautiful natural sunlight throughout the day, while expansive open grassed areas, established trees and surrounding greenery create an idyllic setting for family life. With endless room to run, explore and play, children can enjoy everything from kicking the footy and backyard sports to trampolines, tree swings and cubby houses, with plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventures. Meanwhile, pets can roam freely within the secure yard, while adults relax, entertain or gather with family and friends around the fire pit, creating lasting memories in their own private retreat.

The sheer scale of the land offers a wonderful sense of freedom, with endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors and create lasting memories. For those with bigger dreams, the generous grounds also present an exciting blank canvas for a swimming pool, tennis court, further landscaping or additional outdoor entertaining areas (STCA).

The property's shedding and infrastructure are equally impressive. A substantial 12m x 6m shed incorporates a fully lined office or man cave, complete with a potbelly wood heater and mezzanine storage, providing an ideal space for hobbies, working from home, a workshop or additional recreational use. Access to three-phase power adds further versatility, ideal for workshop equipment, machinery or other specialised uses. A versatile three-bay carport provides ample undercover space for vehicles, a caravan, boat, trailer or firewood storage, while a separate double garage offers additional secure parking and storage.

A separate enclosed garden area also provides a safe and secure space for pets.
Practical improvements extend throughout the property, including a whole-house water filtration system, new whole-house water pressure pump and instantaneous gas hot water system. The upgraded irrigation bore system incorporates a new 2,500-litre storage tank and automated irrigation timer, with the bore currently drawing approximately 600 litres of water per day.

Complemented by two 20,000-litre water tanks and an additional 15,000-litre tank, the property offers substantial water storage. Stormwater drainage and catchment systems have also been rerouted and improved, while the roof has been cleaned, sealed and repainted.
Offering the freedom, space and privacy of acreage living without sacrificing convenience, this exceptional property is just five minutes from Torquay's town centre, beautiful beaches, shops, cafés and everyday amenities.

More than just a home, 45 Scorpio Street offers an opportunity to embrace a truly special lifestyle. Whether raising a family, entertaining friends, enjoying the outdoors or simply unwinding in your own private retreat, this is a place to make lasting memories, enjoy the freedom of open space and truly feel at home.
