Heads oasis is back on market
BUYERS will be kicking goals with an exclusive riverside property in Barwon Heads that was once AFL great David Schwarz’s family home.
The sprawling five-bedroom house at 98 Carr St is a private oasis with a swimming pool, multiple living areas and panoramic Barwon River views.
There’s even an in-ground trampoline for the kids.
Former Melbourne player Schwarz and his family sold the 2056sq m property for $3 million in October 2016.
Bellarine Property, Barwon Heads agent Levi Turner has now listed it with price hopes of $3.5 million to $3.8 million.
Mr Turner said the property was located in one of Barwon Heads’ best streets, with nothing but marshland between it and the river.
“To get 2000sq m of land in Barwon Heads is pretty rare but to get 2000sq m of land with 180-degree views is amazing,” he said.
“You can see from the north, right across to Ocean Grove and around to the Barwon Heads bluff.”
Wall-to-wall windows in the main living area upstairs frame the vista, with the best outlook reserved for the neighbouring main bedroom suite.
Downstairs is a dedicated children’s zone with two further living rooms, two bedrooms and access to extensive decking and the resort-style swimming pool.
Luxury touches include marble benchtops, intercom, an automatic front gate and triple garage, one section of which has built-in storage and a wine fridge and doubles as a games room.
Mr Turner said it was currently used as a holiday home by two families and brought in more than $1000 a night as a holiday rental. “It is great for a big extended family but the floorplan is designed so it could also work for a couple who just wanted room for their family to come and stay,” he said.
Expressions of interest close on November 7 at 4pm.
