Summary:
Just 200m from the river and golf course, and close to Ocean Grove beach, 'Swyn Y Mor' (Sound of the Sea) invites you with its alluring boathouse aesthetic. High vaulted ceilings frame a spacious living area, and the wood heater sets a cosy ambience. The master bedroom, with its ensuite and outdoor access, and 2 additional bedrooms, offer personal retreats. A 2nd living space grants kids their own play area, and outside offers a sunset balcony and rear covered alfresco in a pet friendly yard.

The Space:
Step into 'Swyn Y Mor', where each corner of this enchanting 3-bedroom cottage tells a story of seaside charm and thoughtful contemporary updates. Inspired by the classic Barwon Heads boathouses, the residence seemingly echoes of the ocean's tune, inviting you to a lifestyle where every day feels like a holiday.

The heart of the home beats in the generous open plan living and dining area, where high vaulted ceilings create an airy sense of space and grandeur. This central gathering place is illuminated by natural light that streams through skylights, dancing on the solid timber floors that extend throughout the space. A slow combustion wood heater stands as the room's centrepiece, promising warm and cosy evenings recounting the day’s adventures, plus the convenience of split system heating/cooling.

The adjacent kitchen, functional and sleek, is equipped with a full suite of appliances—including a dishwasher and a coffee pod machine. It’s a space where conversations flow as freely as the nearby river, with a breakfast bar for casual meals and a layout that ensures the kitchen overlooks the home’s hub.
