Point Lonsdale 735 Shell Road

While it looks from the outside like two nissen huts joined in an L-shape, the interior of this unusual home is far more conventional - and surprisingly welcoming. Incorporating an enclosed carport, the front of the home actually allows you to drive right to the front door.

Entry is via the main living area - an open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge area which enjoys lots of natural northern light through large windows and double doors. The galley-style kitchen has plenty of bench space, plus a Chef electric oven, a 3-burner gas cooktop, and a rangehood. While a compact meals area sits adjacent to the cosy lounge with its gas log-fire and handy split system.

Leading off the western end of the lounge is a bedroom with a built-in robe and built-in bookshelves. While at the other end, a passage heading north takes you to the bathroom and a second bedroom. The bathroom has a screenless shower, a vanity, and a WC. The second bedroom enjoys a pleasant view of the paved courtyard and garden, a built-in robe, and a walk-through cupboard to the study/office (or possible 3rd bedroom). This room incorporates a Euro-style laundry.

The outside courtyard is an ideal suntrap, and the perfect spot for alfresco entertaining. Beyond it, through a gate with "The Retreat" emblazoned on it, is a large, fairly free-range garden with native trees, fruit trees, abundant succulents, and a large wire bird cage or hut.

With a second carport in the front rockery garden, this unique property is located within easy walking distance of the popular Point Lonsdale front beach. And, as a large block of land, the potential for redevelopment is also a possibility (STCA).
