Drysdale 44 - 46 Crimea Street

A serene cottage lifestyle beckons. Rich with history, 'Mary Doble Cottage' makes a gorgeous 3 bed, 2 bath retreat or family home near the Bellarine's beautiful coast, historic train station, lakes, walking trails and picturesque Drysdale Village. Coveted heritage features include high ceilings, Baltic pine flooring, timber paneling, open fires, and beautiful double-hung windows. A deep verandah wraps the home on three sides, offering a captivating place to sit and enjoy the colourful cottage garden. The generous block creates privacy and invites extensions (STCA).

Additions to the original cottage include new roofing and a large North-facing living, dining and sitting area with freestanding wood heater. This open-plan living hub is well protected by an ornamental grape covered terrace, providing an ever-changing backdrop. The kitchen is the perfect place to gather for a family meal, with brick hearth, timber bench tops, wall oven & gas hob adding rustic charm. The cosy lounge, with open fire, is a lovely retreat for gathering with friends. Two comfortable beds gather near the entry, with master bedroom offering an open fire. The third bed opens off the lounge and makes an ideal guest room. The spacious bath boasts a heritage style vanity, large shower, and a luxurious claw-foot bath inviting long soaks. The 2nd bathroom doubles as a laundry.

Outside is a secluded brick-paved courtyard and a large studio/storeroom with wide verandah which offers the artist and craftsperson an ideal studio space, and the perfect place for outdoor entertaining. Secure parking is offered by the gated drive.
