120 Carr St, Barwon Heads

Blending timeless Edwardian charm with modern sophistication, this stunning riverside residence offers the ultimate lifestyle escape in one of Barwon Heads' most coveted locations. Tucked away at the peaceful north end of Carr Street, this spacious family home is set among the trees in a serene natural environment, with the tranquil Barwon River just 200 metres away and the beach and vibrant township only moments from your doorstep. From the moment you step behind the brushwood fencing, the original white weatherboard façade and welcoming veranda exude character. Inside, the lovingly restored Edwardian frontage features soaring 3-metre ceilings, polished hardwood timber floors, and elegant leadlight windows. A clever architectural extension has transformed the home into a generous and contemporary haven for family life. At its heart, the open-plan living and dining hub seamlessly connects old-world charm with modern comforts. Timber sliding doors open wide to an expansive L-shaped deck, where outdoor dining beneath the shade of a magnificent deciduous tree becomes part of your everyday rhythm. Lush gardens surround the home, providing a picture-perfect and private setting where children can safely explore and play. The gourmet kitchen is a dream for entertainers and families alike, complete with stone benchtops, island seating, two SMEG ovens, dual sinks, and a walk-in pantry. A separate lounge or children’s retreat with bay window seating offers a peaceful escape, while the feature open fireplace brings warmth and ambiance during the cooler months. Upstairs, the master suite is a serene sanctuary featuring a study area, private living space, and a balcony that captures spectacular river views through the treetops. The generous walk-in robes and stylish en suite create the feeling of a luxury retreat, perfect for unwinding after a day spent riverside or at the beach. The children's wing comprises three large bedrooms with built-in robes and a grand-scale family bathroom designed for the morning rush. Floor-to-ceiling storage is cleverly integrated throughout the home, ensuring every space is beautifully functional. Comfort is key with hydronic heating, ceiling fans, split system air conditioning, and a combination of louvre and shug windows that invite the coastal breeze to flow freely. Additional thoughtful features include a mudroom with custom seating and storage, a well-appointed laundry with a pull-out ironing board and guest shower, and a separate powder room for visitors. The double lock-up garage includes rear deck access, a storage shed, and secure garden spaces ideal for kids, pets, and bikes. While the charming garden studio is not included in the lease, the location more than makes up for it. Children can walk or cycle to Barwon Heads Primary School, Village Park, and the local beaches, while a leisurely stroll will take you to the shops and cafes of Hitchcock Avenue. This is more than just a home – it’s a lifestyle opportunity that rarely comes along.
