Arriving at 11 Watt Street, the timber facade welcomes you with a sunny north-facing front porch, the perfect spot to sit with a morning coffee and soak up the sunshine. Stepping inside, high ceilings and sturdy timber floorboards stretch underfoot, giving the home a genuine, homely feel right from the start.
Moving into the central lounge, you're greeted by a cozy living space built for real comfort. There is a wood heater in the corner to keep you warm on chilly nights, along with a reverse-cycle air conditioner for quick heating and cooling whenever you need it.
Just off the living area sits the kitchen and dining space. The kitchen features cabinetry paired with open shelving, offering plenty of cupboard space for pantry items and everyday storage. It comes equipped with a freestanding gas stove and electric oven setup. plenty of countertops provide good prep space, including a raised breakfast bar for grabbing a quick bite, while a window right over the sink lets in plenty of natural light.
The layout includes two good-sized bedrooms, one with classic wall paneling and the other with original timber floors. Both rooms have plenty of natural light and high ceilings to give you that feeling of extra space, and as an added bonus there is an extra study room that works well as a home office, hobby room, or extra storage
The bathroom features vibrant ocean-blue subway tiles lining the lower half of the walls and the entire walk-in shower area. Dark floor tiles run throughout the room, anchored by a solid timber vanity with drawers and cupboard space, topped with a modern ceramic basin sink and wooden mirror frame. This space can also be used as the Laundry and has a separate toilet.
Heading out the back door brings you into an enclosed timber porch. It's a handy, sheltered spot that keeps you out of the weather, whether you use it for laundry, potted plants, or just sitting outside.
Beyond that lies a large backyard with plenty of open lawn. It's a simple blank canvas with heaps of room if you want to put up extra sheds, plant a veggie patch, or just have space for kids, pets, or extra vehicles alongside the existing single garage.
Behind the scenes, practical improvements like a 3.9 kW solar system, heat pump water heater, underfloor insulation, and 2019 restumping all work quietly to keep running costs down and the home solid for years to come.
The location is as convenient as it gets, you're just down the road from Wonthaggi's main street shops and cafes, a short drive to the beaches at Cape Paterson and Inverloch, close to Phillip Island, and about an hour and a half drive back into Melbourne.
