There is a certain ease to life when the beach is close by, and your backyard opens onto a reserve.

At 56 Ann Street, Torquay, that feeling comes naturally.

Set on a generous 600m2 block, the home occupies a position that gives you something increasingly hard to find - a little distance from the neighbours. The reserve behind creates an open outlook and a sense of privacy, while the beach is close enough to become part of the everyday rather than something reserved for weekends.

Inside, the home follows the same uncomplicated approach. Open-plan living and dining provide a generous central space, comfortably air-conditioned for year-round enjoyment, with the layout creating an easy connection between the indoors and the alfresco beyond. It’s a home that lends itself to relaxed living - doors open, friends gathered, dinner extending into the evening.

The alfresco is perhaps where the setting is appreciated most. With the reserve beyond, there is no need to create privacy; it is already there. The outlook gives the outdoor space a natural sense of openness and makes the backyard feel like an extension of the home.

Three bedrooms and two bathrooms provide the flexibility for family life, visitors or simply having space to spread out. Each bedroom is air-conditioned, while the main bedroom includes an ensuite and walk-in robe. The double garage and side access add the practical advantages that come with having a generous block.

Solar adds another considered touch, helping make the home as practical as it is comfortable.

But the real appeal is found in the combination: a spacious block, a reserve behind, the beach nearby and a home designed around relaxed everyday living, with comfort considered throughout.

It is not about chasing the coastal lifestyle. At 56 Ann Street, it is simply part of where you live. Come and experience it for yourself. Contact Lance Williams on 0401 401 570 to arrange your inspection.
