Nestled behind a white picket fence and rose garden, right in the heart of Fish Creek, sits Number Four Old Waratah Rd, a very short walk to all this special village offers.
The historic weather board home with its deep veranda was built in the early 1900s and is one of the original Fish Creek houses.
The light and airy property has high ceilings, polished floorboards and a spacious open plan kitchen and living room, opening to a generous covered rear deck and private garden with established fruit trees and veggie beds.
The 3 carpeted bedrooms, have original sash windows, the master featuring pretty stained-glass features and a large built-in robe.
The central bathroom is a generous size and has a traditional over the bath shower.
A slow combustion wood fire in the lounge provides cosy winter ambience and a split system aircon’ unit heats and cools the house for the rest of the year.
A recently installed 5 kw solar system and attached heat pump assists with power bills.
Outside, the large garden, has ample space for a caravan or even detached office (subject to Council approval) along with an established food garden and rear lane access.
A concrete floored powered shed, sitting next to the lemon tree, makes a perfect place to get creative, whilst rainwater tanks provide the house and garden water and a septic system manages the waste water.
The property is zoned ‘Township’.
From here, you can walk to Fish Creeks’ cafes, galleries, pub, town hall, school, sports ground and community gardens. The famous Great Southern Rail Trail is less than 500ms from the house and an award winning cidery only a short drive or bike ride.
The white sand beaches of Waratah Bay and Sandy Point are approx. 15 mins drive through South Gippsland’s’ rolling green hills. Whilst bigger shops, schools and medical facilities at Foster are just 12 minutes’ away.
Fish Creek is located just over 2 hours from central Melbourne and 20 minutes from the gates of world-famous Wilsons Promontory National Park.
