72 Geelong Road, PortarlingtonVIC

Set against a picturesque backdrop overlooking Corio Bay to the You Yangs, this quintessential beach house on 809sqm (approx.) is brimming with appeal for weekenders, the lucrative short-term rental market, or those with an eye for redevelopment (STCA).

Positioned within a playground of local attractions, a creative buyer will immediately spot the potential to capitalise on this superb location, while the classic weatherboard home also offers immediate appeal for permanent residents or holidaymakers seeking a laidback beachside base to escape.

Introduced by a horseshoe driveway, the residence welcomes with a light-filled open plan living area featuring exposed beams, a relaxed coastal palette, and a wood heater and reverse cycle air-conditioning for all-season comfort.

An original kitchen has a touch of retro charm including timber panelling, breakfast seating and freestanding Westinghouse oven, and shares its scenic outlook over the bay with the adjoining sunroom and expansive, north-west facing back yard.

All three bedrooms are fitted with ceiling fans and built-in robes in this charming beach retreat, which also includes a family bathroom with separate WC, tandem lock-up garage, and secure single carport, while generous solar capacity keeps running costs to a minimum.

Encircled by all the spoils of coastal living, the home is just a short drive to the Bellarine’s highly regarded wineries, restaurants, and farmgate producers, while the foreshore, Docklands ferry service, and boutique shopping of Portarlington village are just two-minutes from your door.
