Ten days was all it took.

When this Eastern Shore beachfront property hit the market, buyers quickly took notice.

Ready to pounce on their waterfront dream, about 30 potential owners inquired about this standout property.

Now, a little over a week from launching to market, No.65 Gellibrand Ln, Opossum Bay is under offer.

The property was listed with Peterswald’s Nick Morgan and Lucinda Vittorio, and agency director Mr Morgan said the three-bedroom home — originally built in the ‘40s, and rebuilt in 2014 — attracted good local, interstate and international interest.

He said the overseas inquiry came from an expat, however, the property is under offer with a locally-based buyer.

“Our vendors are pleased with the outcome,” he said.

“It is such a well-appointed, lovely, easy to care for property that’s on the beachfront — it’s awesome.”

While the beach frontage was a key attraction for many potential buyers, it wasn’t the only thing that people loved.

Mr Morgan said, for many people, the low maintenance, contemporary nature of the home was appealing.

“They liked the quality finishes, the lifestyle on offer and the convenience of the property, given the proximity to the CBD,” he said.

“We also had prospective buyers eager to buy the property as a shack.

“Once again, the location makes day trips and nights away easy.

“In terms of Gellibrand Ln and absolute beachfront properties in the area, they are few and far between.
