The front living room sets the tone, with ornate ceilings, a striking stone feature wall housing a wood heater insert, new carpet and a split system, with an outlook to the front garden. A second living area at the heart of the home features an original brick fireplace with a cast iron wood heater, the perfect spot to settle in on a cool Orbost evening.
The kitchen is full of character, built around the classic tiled alcove housing a wood-fired cooking stove alongside a gas cooker. There's generous storage, a walk-in pantry and a breakfast bar, and it opens to a light-filled dining area with a raked ceiling and new flooring, flowing out to the rear deck.
Three bedrooms all enjoy new carpet, ceiling fans and split systems, with the third currently set up as a home office. The spacious bathroom offers a walk-in rain shower, separate bath and vanity, with a separate laundry alongside.
Outside, the exterior has been refreshed with crisp white weatherboards, a charcoal Colorbond roof and new timber fencing. The large, grassed backyard has a relaxed entertaining area off the deck and plenty of room for the kids, pets, a veggie patch or a future shed, plus a timber garage with double doors.
And then there's the conversation piece. Tucked in the rear yard sits the original Orbost Police holding cell, complete with its heavy timber door, iron hinges and power connected. Whether it becomes a workshop, a quirky studio or simply the best story in the street, it's a genuine piece of local history you won't find anywhere else.
Whether you're looking to retire somewhere quieter, trade the city for a slower pace of life, secure your first home with room to add value, or add an affordable property to your investment portfolio, 78 Livingstone Street is comfortable today with plenty of potential for tomorrow. Close to the Orbost township, schools and shops, with the beaches and fishing of Cape Conran and Marlo a short drive away and Lakes Entrance within the hour.
