A Place in History

Located right in the heart of Portland, on Victoria's Southwest Coast and along the Great Ocean Rd, we have the pleasure of presenting a part of Portland early history to the market. The original bluestone home was constructed in 1873 for Captain James Fawthrop, Portland's first Harbour Master. Apart from additions over the years, a major renovation of the property was undertaken in recent times, where every effort has been made to retain the original features whist making the home both modern and functional. The home is made up of four spacious bedrooms plus bungalow, including a quaint little chapel, a reminder of the clergy's ownership of the property in days gone by. Lead lighting, beautifully polished floorboards and feature bluestone walls are also a highlight throughout. The property has 2 bathrooms, two living areas and a formal dining area plus an elegant and functional kitchen. Outside there is a large undercover entertaining area, a separate bungalow and a 4 bay garage/workshop, all contained on a generous 952m2 allotment. With its great central position, its unique features and a rare sense of Portland's history, this beautiful home has much to offer. <br/>Contact our office to arrange an inspection today!
