253 Hanlon Parade, Portland VIC 3305

LOCATED close to clifftop walks, Anderson Point and Flinders Park, this 1950s three bedroom brick-veneer house is also within a walkable distance of the centre of Portland.
Surrounded by well established cottage gardens, the house retains lots of period features including ornate cornices, interesting 1950s frosted glass front door and patterned glass interior doors.
The front entrance hallway opens to the left to a spacious lounge room with gas log fire set into the original fireplace, and quality curtains over the east facing window that takes in the fantastic bay views.
The room also has double French doors opening onto the front verandah.
The lounge room opens onto a light-filled dining room, which has south facing windows and a door into the kitchen, which has timber cabinetry teamed with apricot laminate bench tops, a walk-in pantry, reasonably new ceramic cook top and wall oven, and an island bench providing plenty of preparation space. There is also a sink and dishwasher located under the west facing window.
Off the kitchen is an inviting sunroom that runs across the back of the house creating an extra living space. It also provides access to the laundry, which contains a news trough and has some storage cupboards and room for an extra fridge or freezer.
All three bedrooms have carpet and two have built-in robes. The master bedroom and second bedroom have large east facing windows taking in the views across the bay, while the third bedroom is filled with natural light via north facing windows.
There is a large linen cupboard in the passage outside the bathroom which has been renovated to provide all-abilities access – it has a wall-hung handbasin, walk-in, walk-out shower with hand rails and a toilet, also with hand rails. The floor is easy-clean non-slip vinyl.
Outside, the property has a single garage, which has a roller door at the front and a spacious workshop.
Behind this is a covered and sheltered carport that can be accessed via a right-of-way from Garden St. The rear yard is fully enclosed in two sections, the first being a charming lawn and cottage garden area close to the house, which includes an enclosed fernery and outhouse, while the second section is filled with raised vegetable beds and a potting shed / hothouse.
Located in a quiet area close to the Portland Bowling Club, Flinders Park and Anderson Pont stairs that lead down to a secluded beach, this property is ideal for retirees, but would also suit a family.
