Overview

Situated in the heart of Portland, this extensively renovated weatherboard home strikes an appealing balance between classic charm and contemporary comfort. The property retains elegant period details such as ceiling roses, an original fireplace, and lofty 10-foot ceilings, which contribute gracious volume and ambiance throughout living areas.

Recent structural updates—restumping, refreshed gutters and eaves, rewiring, and freshly painted weatherboards—ensure the home offers modern reliability while preserving its quintessential façade. Polished floorboards usher you through the entry hall, which leads to three of the four well-carpeted bedrooms, three of which include built-in robes, enhancing storage convenience.

The heart of the home is the newly extended open-plan living space, integrating a bright kitchen equipped with a breakfast bar and galley layout seamlessly connected to lounge and dining areas. This design not only maximizes natural light but also facilitates social and family interaction.

A thoughtfully considered extension provides versatile living options: a sizable lounge for teenagers, guests, or a private master retreat along with an additional bedroom, updated bathroom, and laundry with external access. This area promotes flexible arrangements for multi-generational living or to accommodate visiting friends comfortably.

Set on an approximately 560 square metre corner block, the grounds have been professionally landscaped for privacy and low maintenance. The gated front courtyard with custom brick paving, arbour, modern hedging, and a fire pit invites relaxed outdoor entertaining and quiet retreat.

Additional benefits include a sizeable powered shed and carport accessible from Portland Court, perfect for securely parking multiple vehicles, a campervan, or boat. The home’s proximity to Portland’s CBD, beaches, and adjoining Hanlon Parade makes it a practical choice for those seeking both lifestyle and convenience.

This home offers a compelling opportunity for buyers valuing a character-filled, fully restored property with versatile spaces that adapt to diverse needs and lifestyles.
