Portarlington 167 Newcombe Street

An earth-friendly environment that combines contemporary comforts with welcoming country styling, this abode is utterly unique. Secluded behind a designer-style rustic front fence, you'll be pleasantly surprised by what this impressive property encompasses.

Stunning use of natural materials blend with luxury appointments. Timber-lined cathedral ceilings with exposed rafters soar above polished pine floorboards. Hydronic heating envelops residents in cosy, quiet warmth. Two different living zones allow for alternative activities. In the vast open plan lounge a cast iron wood fire creates ambiance. Gracing the centre of the home, a breathtaking conservatory floods the interior with a deluge of daylight.

Topped with polished Indian granite, New Zealand kauri pine cabinetry in the kitchen is simply stunning. It hosts an integrated dishwasher and 900mm cooker amongst pot drawers, large appliance cupboard and corner pantry. Superbly hand-crafted reclaimed Tasmanian myrtle provides a sense of quality and elegance to the bar and ensuite in quality. Handsome jarrah adds rich hues to the impressive bathroom where twin sinks, a huge spa and walk-in shower with twin shower heads infuse true opulence. The large main bedroom with ensuite and the two remaining great size bedrooms all contain built-in robes.

Constructed on a substantial allotment, the grounds surrounding the house supply enticing elements to enhance outdoor living. An ideal escape for balmy summer afternoons, the front verandah provides a cool retreat. It overlooks a gorgeous native garden filled with beautiful fuss-free flora. The wide rear verandah leads on to an expansive shade-sail area that shelters an alfresco area on the lawn. Landscaping in the backyard incorporates both exotic and native plants along with raised vegetable beds. Strawberry guava, pomegranate, feijoa and avocado trees join passionfruit to fill your fruit bowl too. A 6,800 litre tank with pump is employed for irrigation.

The man of the house may never be seen again though, once he enters the massive 12×5 metre shed. It comes complete with auto roller door, extra height for caravan and boat storage, designated workshop area, heater, laundry, toilet and shower with separate hot water service. Simply add a couch and bed for the consummate man cave or hangout for the hobby enthusiast.

An exceptional location for a holiday home, the bus for Geelong is nearby and it's only three blocks to enjoy Port Phillip Bay. Additionally with two blocks to the primary school and six to the supermarket, this home is also perfectly positioned to please families seeking a long term coastal lifestyle!
