Spanning three levels, with a configuration that makes the most of the block shape, this superb residence takes in glorious views of Jawbone Reserve and Port Phillip Bay beyond. Wetlands and the Bay West Trail are accessible from outdoor areas and form further pleasing backdrops.
Starting up top, the fitted, grey-carpeted main bedroom and smart accompanying ensuite take up the entire floor and accesses a balcony to soak up those inspiring views.

The first floor provides the entry point, with a powder room ahead and a spacious fully fitted study behind double sliders to the right.
Another slider ushers in the vast living domain (with gas log fire) and kitchen, anchored by matte floor planks. Large windows with north-westerly aspect again take advantage of the coastal views, and a large terracotta-tiled balcony accessed from three points does the same.
The entertainer’s kitchen, with granite benches including a brekkie bar, has a stack of storage – including a walk-in pantry – along with a glass splashback and the full suite of Miele appliances.
Three fitted, carpeted bedrooms cluster around a retreat/rumpus space on the ground floor, which also includes the laundry, cellar and store room. A timber deck outside the rumpus room has wooden seating, while laser-cut screens and tall greenery create added privacy.
A good wedge of lawn delivers romping space for kids and pets, and a walkway heads to a gate for parkland access, and there’s a large double garage.
This Williamstown winner is zoned for Williamstown High and Williamstown North Primary schools.
