3 Sheoak Court, Ocean Grove, VIC, 3226, Australia

Rarely does Ocean Grove present era-specific architectural elegance, however, this four-bedroom home in the treed courts of ‘Old Grove’ is such a place. Designed and built by architect Eoin Barnett in 1979 (with a nod to notable Mid-Century Modernist firm McGlashan Everist) and now encompassing a recent sympathetic extension and refurbishment, this singular residence exudes a timeless tranquility that must be experienced to wholly appreciate.

Zoned with lifestyle and flexibility in mind, the sun-bathed living, dining, and kitchen spaces embrace a peaceful, leafy courtyard. Three bedrooms and bathroom, with separate WC, lie beyond and lead into a second living zone replete with a feature Jotul fireplace. A second, sizable timber deck opens onto the generous lawned backyard, lined with native trees. The exquisite main bedroom and ensuite complete this thoughtful design.

Breathtaking in material choices that invoke the coastal environment - blockwork, expansive glazing and timber ceilings throughout, the home is further elevated with bespoke joinery, Bremworth wool carpet, European appliances, and the architectural pop of Astra Walker tapware and Pirelli-style flooring. The floor-to-ceiling windows and clever orientation allow for year-round sun, while newly installed split systems, Stiebel Eltron heat pump, and sectioned double glazing ensure thermal sustainability.

In keeping with its Mid-Century Modernist design the home is approached via a breezy carport, with an additional home office/shed offside and complemented with cohesive landscaping including monstera, stone pathways, and rambling natives, a popular meeting point for the local birdlife.

This warm, alluring home will entice all ages and stages of lifestyle. Though situated in a quiet court it is a mere stroll to schools, the Shell Rd Sports Precinct, Bellarine Aquatic Centre and the Madeley St shops with a further flat walk or short bike ride to the Terrace and all amenities including bars, boutiques, medical services and library.

Featured in The Design Files, Apartment Therapy, the Thames + Hudson book ‘The New Modernist House’ and unique in its beauty and easy location, this captivating residence must be felt to be believed, RT Egar proudly invites you to enquire and inspect today.
