Portarlington 7 Hereford Street

This modern, fully renovated cottage captures the essence of relaxed coastal living, boasting bay and mountain views, wrap-around decking, floor to ceiling glazing and an easy, open plan layout. The main living hub, master bedroom and front deck are oriented to maximise views, creating a beautiful backdrop for everyday life. Situated only 25 minutes from Geelong CBD and 90 minutes Melbourne, this chic coastal cottage makes perfect sense as a low-fuss weekender or home.

Offering two street frontages and a roomy allotment, the home is situated to maximise privacy; being set well back from the road to the front, and with large screening trees to the side and rear. Inside, extensive glazing, light-filtering roller blinds and a fresh white colour palette creates a sense of spaciousness and light, while the polished floorboards add warmth. With an eye to passive heating and cooling, the home utilises breezeways, deciduous plantings and shade slats to keep the house comfortable year round.

Walled in glass, the open-plan living and dining area is the perfect place to soak up the bay views and leafy back garden, and from here, step out onto the expansive front deck to enjoy the sunshine. The dining area flows naturally from the bright living space, and into a cosy sitting nook.

The well-constructed, compact kitchen ensures that everything is close at hand. Drawers and pantry offer plenty of easy storage, while the inbuilt wine rack is an invitation to entertain! Matching stainless steel appliances including dishwasher, oven with gas four burner cook top and range hood tick all the right boxes. Corner glazing brings in floods of natural light and views of the majestic Morton bay fig, soaring Poplar and abundant fruiting trees.

The 3 bright bedrooms are zoned off the sitting area, and original Victorian Ash hardwood flooring has been retained throughout these spaces, offering rich, warm tones. The master bedroom catches the beautiful views through floor-to-ceiling corner windows and a glass sliding door gives private access to the deck. Mirrored doors on the expansive built-in robes add to the sense of spaciousness and light. Comfortable bedroom 2 and 3 offer large windows with light filtering roller blinds and mirrored robes.

The resort-feel family bathroom boasts a deep, stand-alone bath, pristine vanity with His and Hers' basins, in-situe shower with tiled base and rain shower faucet, modern tap ware, and secluded toilet.

A practical mud room is zoned off the kitchen, and gives access to the 2nd toilet, laundry and outdoor utilities area. The spacious laundry, with bench and trough, has plenty of storage space offered by dual linen presses, with room for a 2nd fridge/freezer.

The home has an abundance of big and beautiful outdoor spaces for fun and relaxation. To the front, the deck is the perfect place for alfresco entertaining, while the stretch of lawn invites a laid-back cricket match. To the rear, sit beneath the shady Poplar on a summer day, or potter in the vegie gardens. Younger souls will enjoy the enchanting treehouse hidden in the branches of the Morton Bay fig.

Mod cons include RC-AC to the main living hub and efficient gas Bonair ducted heating throughout.

A double lock-up garage provides off street parking and access to the rear garden.

This immaculate coastal retreat is a rare gem! Enjoy and inspection today!
