Portarlington 160 The Esplanade

Just the approach to this home is enough to take your breath away, but then you actually get there...and never want to leave!! Whether you come from Portarlington town centre or Indented Head, the road winding its way along the waterfront is awe inspiring, you slow to read the house numbers and suddenly, number 160 is before you. That's it, it is love at first sight, and frankly, it only gets better.

To the left of the front entrance is the more formal lounge and dining room, to the right, an informal family/meals with state of the art kitchen. Stainless steel SMEG appliances grace this space with 900m cooktop and separate double ovens, plus dishwasher of course. Built in pantry, stone benchtops and ample cupboard space make it a delightful space to work and entertain. At the rear of the lower floor are the laundry and two generous bedrooms, one of which is serviced by the family bathroom and powder room, the other has its own ensuite and direct access to the exterior, atrium style enclosed breezeway. From the foyer, the wider than average staircase leads up to a Master bedroom with walk through ensuite and WIR, a central powder room and additional, self-contained living area with its own concealed kitchenette and bedroom.

Every aspect of this home shouts both space and top end quality. Every consideration has gone into the detail with various forms of heating (such as gas log fires in each of the downstairs living rooms and 4 separate reverse cycle heating/cooling units strategically placed throughout. Every bedroom has ceiling fans and the storage space via built in robes, under stair and linen is extensive. In fact, storage is not the only thing that is so, the rooms in this home are quite literally enormous with the 9 foot ceilings both upstairs and down just enhancing the feel. The fittings and fixtures are some of the best that money can buy and the decoration is neutrally superb. And that is just the main part of the home.

Adjacent the sun room is an oversized single garage with remote panel lift door but there is further vehicle accommodation at the rear of the half acre plus property with a double garage and workshop plus 3 car American Barn. Back in the living zone though is an extensive area consisting of study, billiard room and extra living room, also with wood burning heater and reverse cycle heating cooling leading into the back garden. Here there is a furtherout building that has yet to be renovated which would provide the perfect accommodation for extended family or holiday guests.

The garden extends for what feels like miles to the rear and is home to a variety of fruit trees, vegetable garden and low maintenance, established decorative garden with two water tanks totaling 29,000 litres to ensure its continued survival and beauty. There is also rear access from Mitchell Street and who knows, perhaps the potential for subdivision in the future (STCA). But wait, I haven't even yet mentioned the views.

From both the upper deck (accessible from all facing rooms) and the ground floor living rooms, the view is simply amazing. From the You Yangs to the Heads, uninterrupted vistas of water and the Melbourne skyline are a permanent reminder of the lifestyle that is afforded you by living in this stunning home.
