Point Lonsdale 174 Fellows Road

Tucked away behind its tall brush fence, this utterly charming property is one of Point Lonsdale's best kept secrets. The gorgeous home is loved by everyone who sees it, and for so many good reasons that it's hard to know where to start.

A true character home, built of solid brick and dressed up with a subtle render, the unremarkable aspects of this house and garden begin and end with the front fence that hides it from the street. Full of sunlight and space this is a property that welcomes you in and immediately makes you feel at peace and at home. Its high ceilings and big windows throughout fill the house with light, and the glorious original floorboards with their gently aged golden patina add great appeal and warmth. The four bedrooms are all generously proportioned and very light and sunny, while the living room is an absolute joy. Saturated with light from its huge picture windows, this really is the heart of the home. It looks onto the front garden where the focal point is a huge deciduous tree- more beautiful than any sculpture - that shades the home in the heat of summer and lets the afternoon sun flood in during winter.

And as far as the outdoors is concerned, this lovely tree is just the beginning. The owner of this property has created a glorious retreat of a garden with a focus on production and sustainability - a simply superb setting for those who love gardening or for a young family wanting to teach their children about the environment. With a wonderful array of fruit, herbs and vegetables (including some very rare varieties of fruit tree) this is a very special place, made even more appealing by its own residents - chickens and a duck called Mabel who have their own 2 storey coop and fenced outdoor run.

Add to all this a gorgeous alfresco area, water tank, big outdoor shed, and a lovely separate studio and you have a terrific package, topped off by the fact that you are only a few minutes' walk to the highly regarded Point Lonsdale primary school and our safe and quiet Springs Beach. This great opportunity is going to impress, so make an appointment and prepare to fall in love.
