Change your pace of life and purchase this renovated beach cottage in Portarlington. Situated on a 809m2 (approx) allotment this property offers real potential to subdivide and develop (STCA). Currently offering glimpses of Port Phillip Bay from the home's rear deck, living room and sun room the allotment offers the possibility of fantastic views from a two-storey development (STCA). Alternatively, the home is the perfect entry-level property for first-home buyers or those seeking a beach-house. The recently renovated kitchen sits within the open-plan dining/family room. The smart renovation has the kitchen looking sharp with new floating floor and crisp neutral tones throughout. The living areas of the home ooze character and warmth with a rich timber finish to the interior walls creating the charm of a by-gone era. The living area sits adjacent to the dining/family room and offers a second living space for the family to entertain itself. Boasting glimpses of the bay this room provides the ideal place to unwind and relax. A comfortable temperature is maintained within the living areas through the use of reverse-cycle air-conditioning. The versatile floor-plan sees the study double as a third bedroom offering flexibility when visitors arrive. Two of the three bedrooms feature built-in robes and all bedrooms are serviced by a partly renovated bathroom and separate toilet. The real gem of this home is the rear deck that catches glimpses of Port Phillip Bay. Imagine enjoying a cool drink on a Summer's day watching the water and whiling away the afternoon. Additional external features of the home include a detached double lock-up garage, two separate single carports - one attached to the house and one attached to the garage, a house length verandah at the front of the home and expansive low-maintenance front and rear gardens. A rough diamond worthy of an inspection.
