Description: Held by the one family for over 50 years, this elevated four-bedroom brick residence occupies a prized position within Lorne's most tightly held residential enclave. Enjoy a rare, north-facing outlook - an uninterrupted view seldom achieved from this section of Smith Street - with Varna Gully reserve directly opposite and the beach, cafés, restaurants and the vibrant Mountjoy Parade precinct all an easy stroll away. Leave the car at home and enjoy Lorne as it was meant to be experienced. Beautifully maintained and rich in character, the home offers the timeless appeal of its retro era combined with well-considered, functional spaces suited to both permanent living and coastal escapes. The open kitchen and dining zone flows seamlessly onto a generous west-facing entertaining deck, perfectly positioned to take in the ocean outlook and afternoon sunsets. A separate living room, complete with open fireplace and split-system heating and cooling, also enjoys the coastal aspect. Accommodation comprises a master bedroom with ensuite, along with three additional bedrooms, all featuring excellent storage. Downstairs provides a large rumpus room, double carport and substantial lock-up storage - ideal for surfboards, bikes and beach equipment - while the low-maintenance grounds and additional off-street parking enhance the home's practicality. Opportunities in this location are exceptionally rare, particularly a solid home offering comfort today with scope to further enhance in the future.
