Portarlington 42 Smythe Street
Views of the Bay with potential to renovate or rebuild
Be charmed by the original features in this Mid Century Modern home, swayed by the sweeping views of Corio Bay or inspired by the incredible potential to improve or start over. Whatever your perspective, this property is sure to impress with its Northern orientation on a slightly elevated block overlooking parkland and flanked by the Portarlington Cemetery - there is next to no chance your impressive view will ever be built out.
The house is an appealing three-bedroom 1950s original with a large kitchen showcasing formica benchtops and cute mid-century features overlooking a lounge with authentic carpet and views of Corio Bay through the picture windows. The dinette and third bedroom are later additions (circa 1970s). Lift the carpet and you will find solid hardwood floors throughout, evidenced by the floorboards in the second bedroom. The master bedroom is at the front of the house with North-facing windows and a beautiful view. Each of the bedrooms has built-in joinery, and there are multiple hall cupboards adding to the storage options. The central bathroom has a lovely original teal blue bath and sink that deserve saving and a small shower. The toilet is at the rear, along with a decent laundry, large broom cupboard and an inside/outside lean-to.
Outside on the large block you will find a secure, grassy backyard and established trees - including a precious Ginkgo Biloba - in the front. There is ample parking with a very large SLUG with workshop, two sheltered car spaces in front of the garage and a long concrete drive.
Properties with this kind of limitless potential do not come around often. Be quick and arrange an inspection today!

Fletchers Area Guide Portarlington, VIC 3223
Over the years, the economy of Portarlington shifted from a transit port for locally-grown wheat, to holidays for the privileged and, since the 1950's, to family holidays for everyone. Portarlington's protected beaches attract holiday-makers from Geelong (31km) and Melbourne is just 110 minutes away. For many years, Portarlington's caravan park at Point Richards was the largest in Victoria. Other holiday accommodation is catered for by hotels, motels, holiday homes and units, holiday parks and camping areas.
