Imagine moving into a home where your young children have room to grow, where everyone has their own bedroom, and where the family can enjoy their own spaces as the years go by. The kids can make themselves at home in the separate living areas, while upstairs, you can retreat to your own private space and enjoy the ocean views. From those early family years through to the day the kids are ready to move into homes of their own, this is a property that can comfortably accommodate every stage of family life.

Set high in an elevated Sorrento position with ocean views to the west and north-west, this substantial five-bedroom, three-bathroom residence brings together the character of its 1977 origins with a major renovation designed around modern family living. Set across an impressive 890sqm in one of Sorrento's most established coastal pockets, the home offers an abundance of space, flexibility and practicality, with a floor plan that makes everyday family life that little bit easier.

Multiple living zones include separate lounge, dining, entertaining and theatre areas, complementing the open-plan kitchen and everyday living space. Open the doors and bring the ocean outlook into the heart of the home, while the enclosed pool area and adjoining outdoor entertaining space create another private setting for relaxed afternoons and weekends with family and friends. Four downstairs bedrooms are joined by a study that provides the option of a sixth bedroom, while a separate laundry and excellent storage support the practical side of a busy household.

The upper level is dedicated to the parents, with a master suite featuring a walk-in robe and ensuite, accompanied by a private office/retreat with its own built-in kitchenette - equally suited to a bar, coffee station or quiet workspace. The west-facing balcony captures the ocean outlook and provides a peaceful place to unwind at the end of the day. A further downstairs main bedroom with walk-in robe and direct bathroom connection adds another layer of flexibility for older children, guests or extended family.

Completing the home is an enclosed swimming pool, outdoor entertaining area and extensive undercroft parking, comprising a double garage plus a separate single garage with workshop space and a wide driveway. From this elevated Sorrento position, the beachside lifestyle is close at hand, along with Sorrento Primary School, Sacred Heart College, Duncraig Senior High School, Hillarys Boat Harbour, local cafés, parks, shopping and transport connections.
