Perfectly positioned in sought‑after upper Portland, this beautifully updated 1928 cottage blends charming original features with thoughtfully executed modern upgrades. Offering water views, dual access, and a relaxed village lifestyle, this standout home is ideal for buyers seeking style, comfort and solid returns. Currently rented for $550 per week, it also represents an excellent investment opportunity with immediate income.
Behind its classic façade, the home has been transformed with quality materials including Axon and shiplap cladding, Earthwool insulation, updated windows and a refreshed interior palette. Many of the original elements—such as the timeless pine shiplap and wide 6" floorboards—have been lovingly restored, giving the home a warm, character‑filled ambiance.
The light‑filled floorplan features two bedrooms plus an additional multipurpose sunroom, an inviting open‑plan living zone with exposed beams and high ceilings, and a smartly designed kitchen with excellent storage and stainless steel appliances. The renovated bathroom, cosy combustion fireplace and stylish finishes add to the home’s comfort and appeal.
Step outside to a generous rear deck with water views, perfect for year‑round entertaining. With a low‑maintenance yard, dedicated car space, and room for a shed (STCA), the property offers both lifestyle and practicality.
All of this is set within walking distance of the water, bush trails, local shops and schools, making it an attractive option for families, downsizers, investors and weekenders alike.
