Point Lonsdale 1/720 Shell Road

Built by the esteemed McDonald family builders in the mid-1980s, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit in coastal Point Lonsdale offers ideal permanent or holiday living. The thoughtful design, generous proportions and impeccable workmanship in the build have stood this lovely, street-facing, one-of-three, unit in excellent stead. Walk in and immediately enjoy the large, spacious living areas, the open C-shaped kitchen and the two large bedrooms, each serviced by its own bathroom! This home was truly a pioneer of its era in terms of the forward-thinking design and spacious layout.

The home is a tale of two halves - to the left of the entry, the living, dining and kitchen, and to the right, the bedrooms and bathrooms, split in the middle by a wide entrance hall, laundry and access to the rear yard. Two huge north-facing bay windows bathe the living room and master bedroom in natural light, allowing the winter sun to naturally warm the home during cooler months yet denying entry to the hot summer sun. When required, heating and cooling are taken care of by RCAC in the living area and ceiling fans in every room. The home is fully carpeted except for the dining and kitchen areas which are hardy and practical linoleum.

The generously proportioned original kitchen is immaculately maintained and has a neat fold-down breakfast bar opening out into the adjacent dining area. With ample bench space and storage, the kitchen is practical and functional, boasting a side-by-side gas cooktop and oven, a dishdrawer, double sink and large built-in pantry. The bathrooms are also immaculate, having been beautifully cared for over the years. The main bathroom has a separate toilet with a huge skylight, bath, separate shower and vanity, and the ensuite to the master bedroom has a shower, toilet and vanity. The master bedroom also boasts an impressive WIR and the second bedroom, a large BIR.

Street frontage off the service road means a private driveway which leads into a wide and long SLUG. Unexpectedly, there is a second, separate entrance to the rear of the property accessed via the communal driveway which boasts a large, paved area suitable for storing a caravan or boat. Behind the high front fence is a lovely private garden and lawn.

This property would be an ideal first home for a young family, a perfect ‘lock-up-and-leave’ weekender or a fantastic holiday investment, and with so much going for it, it won’t last long!
