Surrounded by stunning established cottage gardens, the home provides a peaceful and private retreat in one of Port Fairy's most convenient locations.
Behind its charming façade, the home opens to a spacious, light-filled living, dining and kitchen area, where high ceilings, beautiful timber flooring and an abundance of windows create a wonderful sense of space. Designed to embrace its picturesque garden surrounds, the main living area enjoys stunning outlooks through large windows and French doors, seamlessly connecting the indoors with the outdoor entertaining areas.
The beautifully appointed kitchen features stone benchtops, extensive cabinetry, quality stainless steel appliances and a generous island bench, overlooking the expansive open-plan living and dining area. A gas log fireplace creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the generous proportions provide ample space for both relaxed everyday living and entertaining.
Accommodation comprises three generous bedrooms, with the privately positioned master suite featuring a walk-in robe and ensuite. A particularly appealing aspect of the home is its clever and flexible floorplan, allowing the additional two bedrooms to be closed off from the main residence, complete with their own private entrance, sitting room, bathroom and kitchenette. Currently operating as a successful Airbnb, this self-contained accommodation provides an excellent opportunity to generate additional income while maintaining complete privacy within the main home. This arrangement is particularly attractive for couples or retirees seeking a comfortable permanent residence with the added benefit of an established short-stay accommodation business.
Outside, the beautifully established cottage-style gardens are a standout feature of the property. An abundance of roses, manicured hedges, flowering plants and climbing vines create a picturesque setting, with greenery wrapping around the return verandah and outdoor entertaining areas. The expansive timber decking, covered entertaining space and additional paved courtyard provide wonderful places to relax or entertain while enjoying the privacy and beauty of the surrounding gardens.
A separate studio positioned within the rear garden adds another dimension to the property. Currently utilised as an artist's studio, this versatile space would also be ideal as a home office, creative retreat or small gym.
