2/129 Skene Street

Position is everything and this one hits the sweet spot. Tucked into an unbeatable central pocket, you are just a short walk to the sand, surf and vibrant downtown dining. Currently running as a successful Airbnb, it's a proven turn-key earner, an unforgettable holiday pad or a killer central home where you can kick back and let the location do the heavy lifting.

Forget what you think you know about block sizes - this multi-level powerhouse opens up to a massive 214sqm (approx.) of interior space. Designed for maximum lifestyle and minimum maintenance, you get the internal scale, brilliant storage and an impressive four car garage without spending your weekends pushing a lawnmower.

This isn't a bland cookie-cutter property; it's an artisan home packed with conversation starters. Think original retro Collingwood tiles, a Port Fairy bluestone basin and solid farm Redgum vanities. Add in church French doors, salvaged bar timbers and historic bridge beams and you have a property dripping with warmth and authentic soul.

Flexibility is off the charts with up to four bedrooms or two living areas plus a dedicated study zone. The ultimate highlight - a custom excavated downstairs hideaway complete with double glazing, Soundcheck plaster, heavy acoustic insulation and a secure lockable "secret room" - perfect for a home cinema, loud music sessions or high-end Airbnb gear storage. Need more? Engineered plans exist to turn the garage roof into a massive sunset entertaining deck, plus pre-installed load beams make future bathroom expansions a breeze.

Ideally positioned just moments from Reid Oval, the home offers the ease of leaving the car behind to enjoy morning walks, weekend sport and acres of open parkland right on your doorstep.
