Point Lonsdale 5 Loch Street

'Verley' boasts ocean views to Point Nepean from the front gate and rare views over the Rip from the upper level. The history is interesting, it's character quaint, but the greatest attribute is the enviable Old Point Lonsdale location, just 200 steps from the picturesque bay beach.

This divine family-sized weatherboard cottage is set in a quiet cul-de-sac privatised by a traffic island thick with Moonahs. Transported from Ballarat by bullock train after the gold rush, this much-loved family home takes pride of place in this beautiful beachside location, just 3 blocks from the village shops.

The sunny hardwood veranda, draped with a muscatel grapevine, makes a welcome entry. Indoors classic period features include lofty timber-lined ceilings, pretty leadlight and an internal fireplace.

The 3-bedroom floor plan boasts 2 large living areas and comfortably sleeps 8. The jewel in the floor plan is the addition of the second level. This level provides 1 large and scenic living space with 270o degree views over the breathtaking coastal environs. Sit privately and gaze at The Rip, Southern Ocean, Point Nepean and Port Phillip Bay. Whilst perfectly proportioned for family living, this elegant coastal room may also be used as a large bedroom.

Down stairs, the charming lower level offers a very spacious and family-friendly open plan living zone with dedicated spaces for formal dining, living, casual meals and the kitchen. A tall wall of glass links the living area a sundrenched outdoor entertaining patio. The functional central fireplace speaks of days gone by and houses a gas heater in the living area, and a modern freestanding gas cooker in the kitchen. A lovely bright skylight illuminates the kitchen.

There are 3 bedrooms (2 with built-in robes) and 2 fresh and tidy bathrooms (1 with an easy access in situ shower). The study nook under the stairs flows to the backyard and makes a great indoor play space for children.

The yard is productive with a variety of fruit trees, vegetable and herb gardens. Outbuildings include a single garage, with storage area and garden shed. The long driveway provides at least 5 off-street car parks.

With the sea in earshot, and the activity in The Rip a constant source of entertainment, this unique home is a true lifestyle investment. Capitalise on the perfect coastal placement! View without delay!
