Behind a classic picket fence, 27 Corangamite Street is a beautifully presented and appointed Victorian weatherboard home with real character. A bullnose verandah trimmed with wrought iron lacework sets the tone, and a brick-paved path leads you to a front door that's warm and welcoming from the moment you arrive.
Inside, period charm runs through every room. High ceilings and large windows create a lovely feeling of light and space. The lounge has timber-lined ceilings, a brick chimney breast with a feature fireplace, and a luxury ceiling fan. The kitchen is full of warmth, with timber cabinetry, an island bench and a wood heater set into a feature brick fireplace. The main bedroom has leadlight windows and its own fireplace. There are three bedrooms in total, one that is currently used as a music room could very easily be converted back to a bedroom.
The large family bathroom has a deep spa bath, a shower, a powder room and double basins.
Comfort is covered all year round, with central ducted heating through the house and reverse cycle air conditioning in the living area and main bedroom. A large 4.2 kW solar system helps keep running costs down.
Outside, the beautiful terraced garden is a delight, lovingly crafted into a private family oasis, with raised garden beds, retaining walls, neat lawns and a brick-paved courtyard. The rear deck has an outdoor dining area with a bistro blind, strung with café lighting it's made for long summer evenings. A self-watering system keeps it all looking its best with minimal effort.
There's plenty of room for vehicles and storage too: a 9m carport, a garden studio complete with its own toilet, a workshop, a wood shed, a garden shed and a large beautiful cubby house for the kids.
The location is hard to beat. Lake Colac, the Botanic Gardens, Lake View Café; and St Mary's Primary School are all a short walk in one direction, and Colac's CBD, local shops, cafes, schools and sporting facilities are just as close in the other.
A rare chance to find a secure and very special home with real character beautifully appointed on a generous 676sqm block in a position that's very hard to find.
