Point Lonsdale 1 Cygnet Court

Whether for holidays or permanent residency, this private light-filled home, a short walk from the shores of Swan Bay and the Dog Beach, is a pleasure. Set in a quiet court in The Narrows with coastal air all around, bike trails offer safe connection to Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale villages, schools and kindergartens.

This brick home, by award winning local builder David McDonald, delivers a low maintenance, energy-saving lifestyle. Terracotta floor tiles throughout are easy-care and meld well with warm timber features. The floorplan capitalises on natural north-west light that floods the open plan kitchen, dining and living space and separate lounge. New double glazing running the length of these rooms ensures year round comfort. Well-designed garden beds require little attention and form a green and private backdrop to every room.

The main living hub is accessed via a sunny and private pergola shrouded in a deciduous vine offering soft dappled shade in summer. Paving underfoot creates a clean and seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. An instant attraction is the lovely open fireplace, flanked by library-style shelving, conjuring thoughts of cosy winter weekends in after a crisp walk on the beach. Dining is proportioned for a family, and the functional kitchen, with double pantry and freestanding oven, is a great social spot to whip up a feast. The large and zone-able lounge is ideal for individual activities. A large Rinnai Energysaver gas heater is effective throughout.

Three queen-sized bedrooms and versatile wet areas align end-to-end down the south-eastern aspect. Bedrooms feature large windows (one with garden access) and built-in robes with generous shelving. Fresh white wet areas include; a bathroom with shower over bath, a separate toilet, and laundry with 2nd shower and yard access ideal for sandy beach bods. Two showers are also convenient in morning rush hour! The wide hallway linen press offers tremendous storage.

The single garage conveniently accesses the living zone and boasts workbench and storage space. A productive olive hedge provides privacy in the backyard and mixed fruit trees contribute to the home-grown larder. The 1700L tank and garden shed are further assets for the green thumb!
